WR Advanced Stats: Beyond the Box Score (06/02 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Fantasy Football Today

Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

We're bringing on two awesome guests Matt Freedman and Pat Fitzmaurice to talk about our favorite advanced stats for analyzing wide receivers. Route rate, yards per route runs, air yards, end zone targets and several more statistics will be discussed! Let's start with route rate (5:00) and the players who need to be highlighted, specifically the Chiefs WRs ... We get into yards per route run (10:25) and look at guys like Jaylen Waddle and Jahan Dotson who have potentially troubling numbers when you compare their production in 2-receiver sets to 3-receiver sets. Then we'll make the case for and against Jerry Jeudy (26:00) and others ... We discuss air yards (32:00) and players who saw a big increase or big decrease in aDOT in 2022 with DeVonta Smith (50:25) highlighted in this section. And we finish with some red zone/green zone/end zone data (55:30) and some sleepers and breakouts (1:11:30) from our guests ... Email us at [e-mail]
