Gabriel Davis 74th off the board right now according to fantasy pros ADP that is wide receiver 31. Jacob Gibbs is here

0:11.0

He says he's getting very excited about Gabriel Davis. Let's find out right now on fantasy football today in five

0:16.6

All right, Jacob without any further ado. Why you getting really excited about this 30 wide receiver who has yet to crack 600 yards in the NFL?

0:23.5

Yeah, like a lot of the cases that I make it's going to have a lot to do with this Perot data, which is really all we have to go off with Davis

0:31.5

because we haven't seen him play regular role yet

0:33.5

But more of Doug news college data and also just really getting into everything we have from last year it is pretty exciting

0:41.5

So the Perot data from Davis's work he season was atrocious

0:45.5

But then funny thing happened he got better in your year two

0:49.5

Davis increased his target per hour and rate by 39% as you are per hour and rate rose by 26%

0:56.5

And this is consistent with something we saw from Davis and college. She improved across the board year over year

1:02.5

So in 2017 target on only 16% of his routes is first year in college up to 23% the next year

1:10.5

1:19.5

And we saw that reflected in his year per hour and rate which is all the way up to three yards in his final season

1:25.5

It started at 1.5 in his first season and went to 2.2 and then up to 3 in his last year

1:30.5

So just we've seen him he does have a track record of maybe taking a while to adjust but then really once he starts figuring things out

1:37.5

Really becoming an elite producer with the types of routes that he's running and being able to draw targets on those deep routes

1:44.5

And I think we've seen some signals that that could be happening for him at the NFL level

1:49.5

So you think it's just going to keep getting better from here?

1:52.5

I think it could, yeah I think he's in a perfect situation here in Buffalo to continue to elevate his game like we've seen

1:59.5

So at the college level he elevated his target per hour and rate by 43% from year one year two

2:04.5

Which is really pretty insane progression from one year to the next
