5 must-read stats: Tate to be Golden in Week 14 Published: Dec 07, 2017 at 09:05 AM NFL Network Analytics Expert Happy Week 14! We've reached the playoffs. Congrats if you made it and if not, let's play We do fun in this article. In the spirit of the (fantasy) playoffs, I'm going to change this up a little. I'm going to give five stats still, but each point will be about the fantasy positions (QB, WR, RB, TE and DEF) Babe Ruth Jersey with an extra ceiling pick or two at the end. Let's give it a try, let me know how you feel about it. So the "rules" for this article: Not super obvious. As exclusive as po sible to this article. You give me feedback and we evolve it together. Twitter ( ) is the best for this. Unle s you are creepy, then just stick to rules 1 and 2. Got all that? Let's go!!! 1. 80.1 percent leads the league in catch rate out of the slot with an 80.1 percent catch rate. Even with the hand injury, as long as Stafford is playing, the matchup for Tate (against Tampa Bay's Robert McClain) makes him an excellent median and exceptional upside Chipper Jones Jersey pick. Another slot note ... the have earned the most receiver yards out of the slot (967) this season, but face the defense who have given up the fewest yards to slot receivers (388) and the sixth-lowest pa ser rating (76), so factor that into your Seattle picks. 2. 124.8 That's 's pa ser rating on 21-plus air yard attempts this season (NFL-best) and he faces an Oakland secondary that allows opposing pa sers a rating of 131 (NFL-worst). To me, becomes an even better pick based on what's been going on for the on first down. They have the most yards per play (6.8, League average is 5.3) but not due to rushes anymore. In Weeks 1-5, they led the league with 113 rushing yards per game on first down, and from Weeks 6-13 that number has decreased to 34 (31st) but the total yard average hasn't Phil Niekro Jersey declined proportionally. So pa ses are making up for the decline in rushing (a.k.a., play Smith). 3. 32 That's where the rank against rushes of 10-plus yards, as in they have allowed the most this season. Further, they rank 31st in allowing rushes of 4-plus yards overall and 29th in red zone defense. In other words, has a favorable matchup. So do the pa s catchers, especially since cornerback will not be on the field but don't think only pa s against the just because Peters is out. 4. 5.6 That's tight end 's receptions per Bob Uecker Jersey game average for the season, good for first among qualified tight ends. He also averages almost five yards after the catch. I think the most frequent question I have gotten so far this week has been about tight ends. I am not as high on (unfavorable matchup against Reuben Foster) and (also a tough matchup against Wesley Woodyard) as others, though I do agree they are good volume choices. 5. Four The Jags have four different defenders with at least six sacks. (12.5), (10), (6.5), and (6) and lead the Ender Inciarte Jersey league in sacks with 45. I pretty much just liked that stat because you're totally playing them if you have them, but leaky offensive lines and good pre sure stats drive all of these: ( vs ' in 's replacement), (very banged up o-line versus two pa s rushers you already know), ( tackle in a bad spot against Demarcus Lawrence).
