  • Currently 144.88 points behind the leader: Justin Jefferson
  • Slight decline in numbers lately at 2.5 PPG.

  • Currently 82.88 points behind the leader: Justin Jefferson
  • Average points in the past two weeks have increased by 16.6 PPG. That is great, but how long can he perform at this level? If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

    • Receiving Stats

  • Top 10 in receptions and is currently ranked 9th among WR.
  • Top 10 in targets and is currently ranked 8th among WR.

  • Unfortunately two players have the same exact name and his rating may not be entirely accurate at this point. We are working on fixing situations like this!
