Welcome to Going Deep! This weekly article will make use of charting data, advanced metrics, and other RotoViz tools — specifically the newly released Passing Game Matchup Rater — to help readers better understand the challenges facing wide receivers and tight ends in the coming week. As my process makes heavy use of the Matchup Rater, I’d highly recommend that you set aside half an hour to watch the tutorial/walkthrough and take a spin through the tool.

Please note that we only touch upon players with 6.0 or more PPG in this article.

For Thanksgiving Week, I wanted to release this article on Wednesday. As charting data is not available until Wednesday afternoons, this article, with the exception of PPG, will be based on Weeks 1 – 10. Also, to save readers time during a busy week, I’ll just be calling out players that I really like or dislike. We’ll get back to a deeper analysis next week.
