James Cook, is he another must start running back in week 15?

And finally, Dalton gives an impassioned plea, rant, case for Brock Purdy as the MVP.

All that and more on the week 15 edition of Stat Nerd Thursday.

Let's get into it. It's Thursday, December 14th.

I'm Matt Harmon.

Welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Show.

It is a hell of a day to talk ball and joining me to do just that.

You know what time it is.

Statner Thursday. So it is the one and only Dalton Del Don. Dalton, what's going on, buddy?

What's up, Harmon? Always good to talk to you. I don't have an intro for you today. Just a lot of

takes, football time. Fantasy playoffs. Let's get to the stats, man. Absolutely. No pleasantries. No wasted time.

Right down to business. Because it is statiner Thursday, as I mentioned, and you know what that means if you've been rocking with this all year.

And hopefully you have. It means we give you one stat you need to know. Need. I'm serious about need to know for all 32 teams as you head into the fantasy playoffs as we head here into week 15.

And we do that in the order of the projected 2024 NFL draft according to Tankathon.

And that brings us to, oh boy, as it always does, the Carolina Panthers at the number one overall spot here.

Our stat for the Panthers, Jonathan Mingo, ranks 10th in the NFL with 255 air yards the last two weeks.

That's encouraging usage for the rookie.

Not so encouraging, though, is that Bryce Young is completing just 41.8% of his passes in this span.

You really would love to see your rookie quarterback be getting better as the year goes on.

I think you could argue that the longer that Bryce Young plays, the worse that it gets for Carolina.

Yeah, Jonathan Mingo has quietly emerged as Carolina's number one receiver.

It hasn't mattered at all in fantasy, but 19 targets over the last two weeks.
