From the episode

The on-off splits for Nico Collins, their EPA per play is actually higher with Nico Collins off the field than on the field... But the only reason that's true is because CJ Stroud has been making it work with everybody.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Stroud's EPA higher with Collins off field; reflects QB excellence, not WR decline.

Stroud's EPA per play is actually higher with Nico Collins off the field than on the field, though this is primarily because Stroud has been making plays with all receivers, not because Collins is underperforming. The on-off split is counterintuitive but reflects Stroud's exceptional distribution across the entire receiving corps.
