| 0:00.0 | All right, beyond the box score. |
| 0:09.9 | And we are talking wide receivers, tight ends, all the pass catchers, data on them. |
| 0:15.8 | Who are the best separates in the NFL? |
| 0:17.1 | I can't wait to see this data, Jacob. |
| 0:18.6 | Let's get right into it now. |
| 0:20.9 | All right. So we're going to start with some tight-end usage data and quickly make our way |
| 0:27.2 | through that and get into the wide receiver separation stuff. Because, yeah, that is probably |
| 0:32.0 | the coolest information that we've got here is like what type of routes these guys are running |
| 0:36.2 | and who's winning on those routes, |
| 0:39.0 | but definitely need to hit on the Titans quickly. |
| 0:42.3 | So Titans here, I've got another report pulled up from Fantasy Points data. |
| 0:48.5 | I mentioned this on the last show. |
| 0:50.3 | It's sorted right now by yards after contact on receptions, and you see Kyle Pitts at the top, followed by Tucker Kraft, Harold Fanon, Harold Fanon 3, Travis Kelsey 4, David and Joku, Trey McRye. Ham, Travis Kelsey 4. I know, I know. Dude, that call is looking pretty good. Um, only kidding. We'll see what happens with him. I don't even, yeah, I don't think he's going to shy away from it. |
| 1:12.6 | Like, I think it looks like a pretty good call. There's, that's, if he has that touchdown last week, we're like feeling hyped about him right now, right? Yeah. Um, Trade McBride, Tyler Warren Brockbauer. So, you know, creating yards after contact is something that good players do. and I think it's notable that Pitts and Fannin, |
| 1:28.5 | particularly and Kelsey, are this high on the list. But probably the most important thing |
| 1:35.7 | it tied in is simply who's out there. Obviously, that is, that fluctuates in terms of importance |
| 1:43.4 | from team to team, like Mason Taylor is fifth in terms of importance from team to team like mason taylor |
| 1:44.9 | is fifth um in terms of route rate but that's not as valuable as some of these tight ends |
| 1:50.1 | are below him so i've got it sort of by route rate 92% is where trademark brides at that's the |
| 1:55.4 | tippy top here at tight end um there's only a handful of guys above 80% So this is something we'll track throughout the year. |
| 2:01.9 | I just want to give you some frame of reference here and look at what we've got so far. |
