This metric helped us early on Nico Collins as well as Pooka Nakua.

Before that, it helped highlight an impending breakout into super stardom for Devonde Adams and A.J.

Brown.

Looking forward to 2025 and beyond.

Which receivers stand out in this metric?

We'll find out today on Beyond the Box Score.

I'm Dan Schneier, joined as always by Jacob Gibbs.

We are the two teams, the two team members that bring to you beyond the box score.

And let me tell you a few things before we get started on today's show. We will be getting into metrics that will lead to some breakout receivers, hopefully for you guys this season. But before we do that, I want you guys to all note, it is draftathon mom here. And as Johnny Airport says, we need to start a go fund me for a new mic stand for Dan Johnny. I'm on it right now.

Look, I can't budge the mic stand from the desk. I've worked hard. I used tools, but for now I'm holding the mic. A stand is in play. But the real fundraiser this month is draftathon over at

Without further ado, Jacob, I want to know how you're doing today and how excited you are to talk about a metric that might lead to some breakouts for our fantasy managers in 2025.

I'm doing great, Dan.

Yeah, we're talking about per route data today.

So we're getting very, very granular with it, not just, you know, this is how you go truly beyond the box score.

It's like look at the per opportunity results that we get for all these players

and then contextualize that even further. We've really gone deep down the sicko rabbit hole

together as a community over the past like four or five years. It's been beautiful to see.

We've gone from like not even using this data that much to now it's like

Romo Dunzee has a bad year and you get this like whole cycle where people are like, look at his per route data. It was so horrible. He's going to be a bus. Look at all the other players who have been a bus that have had this kind of per route data. And then you have the heroes come along and contextualize that and be like, well, this is why the parat data was so bad.
