more advanced stats from jacob gibbs right now on fantasy football today in five welcome to the show

we usually come at you with three different players to talk about give you some advanced stats on them

and jacob prepared some great stuff on the pittsburgh steelers without dionte johnson luckily for us

dionte johnson he's off the cover list and we found out before we recorded, but minutes before.

So it's just going to be two topics instead of three. So we're going to start with Darnel Mooney, teamed up with Andy Dalton to face the team, giving up the most fantasy points to wide receivers.

How excited are you about Darnel Mooney this week?

Yeah, I'm super excited.

You hit on the matchup.

I'm almost more excited, though, to have dodged the chase Claypool bullet because I feel like I've come on here like three separate times.

I think the last one was actually against the Ravens.

And so I was a little bit nervous to come on and be all excited about Claypool again, give all these stats and then, you know, have them just disappoint. So we got that one out of the way. I feel much, much, you know, more confident in the matchup for Mooney here. And really just what we've seen from Mooney, like, as a whole this season has been really, really exciting. I mean, he stepped in and just immediately supplanted Allen Robinson is the number one.

And we've seen him just make huge improvements across the board.

His target per route run rate is up by 19% from year one, year two.

And that's come even while running deeper routes.

And then his efficiency has made a massive leap forward to, which is really impressive,

given, you know, the quarterback carousel that we've had in Chicago, his yard perot run rate is up by 38% from year one to year two. And then if you look at like his target share and air yardage chair, those are both in the top 12 as well, which is really impressive. I tweeted out the list of players who have both a higher target and Air Yardot Chair than

Darnham Mooney on the year. And it's like six players and some of just the absolute best

receivers in fantasy. So it's been really, really impressive. It hasn't necessarily always

translated to huge results, but I think we could see it do that in this match when week 18.

They're facing Minnesota, who you said has given up tons of fantasy points to receivers.

And they've been specifically bad on deep targets,

which is where Mooney makes most of his payday here on passes that have traveled 15
