Week 10 WR Advanced Stats: Despite Being Division Rivals, Ja’Marr Chase Sure Does Love the Ravens

In the first game of Week 10, fans were treated to watching the Ravens and Bengals go toe-to-toe in prime time. After their first matchup of the season was in the running for game of the year, the rematch raised the bar even further.

At the center of the storyline was Ja’Marr Chase absolutely torching the Ravens’ defense on his way to the ninth-highest PPR performance of any WR in the history of the NFL. Lest we forget, all of this happened after Chase’s 193 receiving yards in Week 5 set the previous high-water mark for this season before his 264 yards obliterated that mark in Week 10.

With the Bengals currently sitting at 4-6, there is still a little bit of hope that we get to see Part 3 of this 2024 saga in the playoffs. Otherwise, we will anxiously await the release of the 2025 schedule, at which point we will make sure to circle next year’s matchups between these two AFC North rivals on our calendars.

Before we get into the latest information available in the Advanced Stats Explorer, just a few quick reminders about the article.

Leading up to the season, I looked at the five years of data available in the Advanced Stats Explorer and broke it down into four separate articles: Routes and Targets, Intended Air Yards, Yards After the Catch and Evasion, and Catchable Targets, Drops, First Downs, and Touchdowns.
When working through the five-year sample, we found that the 90th percentile and above generally included most of the top-24 wide receivers for each metric in any given season. The 75th percentile and above included the top 55 to 60 WRs in any given metric per season. Given that these two cohorts easily apply to a normal 12-team fantasy league, they will be referenced often throughout the article.

In Week 10 the total number of players who earned at least one target during the 2024 season grew to 207 after our Week 9 sample included 201 players.^[1]Players who have been members of multiple teams this season have their production for each team listed as separate entries in the Advanced Stats Explorer.

Tampa Bay’s RB Committee Isn’t Going Anywhere, And We Should Learn to Be Okay With That

Kevin Szafraniec November 13, 2024

Bucky Irving has been a revelation in his rookie season after his poor testing at the combine damaged his draft stock. After appearing to glide through Pac-12 defenses at Oregon, Irving’s athletic testing numbers did not align with what he put on tape in college. While his athleticism looked far from ideal on paper, he was still able to pull in athletic comps like Kyren

Week 11 Waiver Wire: Is Audric Estime Poised to Take Over the Denver Backfield?

Kevin Szafraniec November 12, 2024

Even if the short-term outlooks of the options available to us on waivers continue to get less appealing, we still need to shoot for upside with our additions over the remainder of the season. Any fantasy manager who has been paying attention this season could have added players like Cedric Tillman, Josh Downs, and Tyrone Tracy for pennies on the dollar. Audric Estime may prove to…...

Week 10 Monday Review: 4 of the NFL’s Premier Teams Survive After Being Pushed to the Brink, Displaying Both Grit and Vulnerability

Kevin Szafraniec November 11, 2024

Plenty of NFL heavyweights were pushed to the limit in some of Week 10’s most exciting games. Perhaps none of the victors deserved to come out with a win for various reasons, but the experience each team has across their organization may have been the deciding factor for them coming out on top. For all of the composure each team showed, there were still plenty…...
