Aaron Jones

NegativeProjection3:53

Running back who had significant trouble getting into the end zone in Week 8, indicating missed scoring opportunities despite being in position to score.

Insight page

Adonai Mitchell

NegativeUsage5:17

Pass catcher who ranks in the top 10 for unrealized air yards in Week 8, indicating downfield fantasy-friendly opportunities that didn't result in completions.

Insight page

Bucky Irving

NegativeProjection4:11

Lost a fumble at the goal line on an insane play where Baker Mayfield turned a fumbled snap into a speed option; Irving appeared to be about to score before Jesse Bates knocked the ball out, costing him a touchdown.

Insight page

Caleb Douglas

NegativeUsage5:17

Wide receiver who ranks in the top 10 for unrealized air yards in Week 8, indicating downfield fantasy-friendly opportunities that didn't result in completions.

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

NegativeUsage5:45

Wide receiver with 506 unrealized air yards on the season, one of only five players to accumulate 500+ unrealized air yards, indicating consistent downfield opportunities that haven't converted to completions.

Insight page

Chase Brown

NegativeProjection0:29

Chase Brown has now gone 122 touches without a touchdown; in Week 8 he had a 20-yard touchdown catch in the back of the end zone nullified by a warranted holding penalty on the offensive line, extending his scoring drought and costing him a touchdown in what would have been a strong fantasy performance. Per Ian Hartitz, this represents an ongoing fantasy nightmare for the running back.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

PositiveProjection4:14

Had a nullified touchdown reception in Week 8; also ranks in the top 10 for unrealized air yards at over 100 yards for the week. Has accumulated 592 unrealized air yards on the season, the fourth-most among all pass catchers, indicating consistent target volume and opportunity. Displayed elite catching ability in Week 8 with a one-handed grab from 5 yards out, but failed to get both feet down in bounds on the play; also missed a 32-yard touchdown opportunity on an overthrow, showing both high-level receiving skills and unrealized scoring ceiling.

Insight page

Derrick Henry

NegativeProjection1:50

Derrick Henry had a 10-yard touchdown run nullified in Week 8 due to a holding penalty on Ronnie Stanley; the cutback run was wide open partly because of the offensive line penalty, costing Henry a touchdown in what would have been a strong fantasy day.

Insight page

DK Metcalf

NegativeUsage5:17

Wide receiver ranks in the top 10 for unrealized air yards in Week 8 with 550 unrealized air yards on the season, the fifth-most among all pass catchers, indicating consistent downfield opportunities that haven't converted to completions; also had a dropped interception from Aaron Rodgers that popped off his hands, one of three dropped picks Rodgers has thrown this year (also to Jerry Bernard and Roman Wilson); additionally had a drop touchdown in Week 8 where the ball was underthrown and Metcalf didn't help the cause by dropping it, with the drop subsequently intercepted by Denzel Ward.

Insight page

Garrett Wilson

NegativeUsage2:12

Garrett Wilson had multiple unrealized opportunities in Week 8: a 28-yard catch nullified by a holding penalty, over 100 unrealized air yards (indicating downfield fantasy-friendly opportunities that didn't result in completions), and a missed 35-plus yard gain opportunity when overthrown deep downfield. These represent significant ceiling-limiting plays for the Jets receiver.

Insight page

Geno Smith

PositiveProjection7:48

Had an interception in Week 8 but it was on a Hail Mary at the end of the game, a low-leverage desperation play rather than a reflection of poor quarterback play during meaningful situations. Ian Hartitz noted that Gino Smith is actually playing some pretty damn good football with the Jets, especially now with all these weapons healthy.

Insight page

George Pickens

NegativeUsage2:02

George Pickens had a 35-yard catch down the sideline nullified by a holding penalty in Week 8, costing him a significant gain and potential touchdown opportunity.

Insight page

Ja'Marr Chase

NegativeUsage1:43

Jamar Chase had multiple unrealized scoring opportunities in Week 8: 143 unrealized air yards (fourth among all players), a missed 42-yard touchdown when Joe Burrow underthrew him on a deep route where Chase had a couple steps of separation (resulting in an interception), and a DPI penalty in the end zone that limited his scoring opportunity. Despite scoring a touchdown on the play immediately following Chase Brown's nullified score, Chase left significant fantasy production on the field.

Insight page

Jakobi Meyers

NegativeMatchup12:27

Missed a 7-yard touchdown opportunity in Week 8 when the pass was misfired; represents unrealized scoring ceiling for the Vikings receiver.

Insight page

James Cook

NegativeProjection3:46

Running back who was tackled at the one-yard line in Week 8, nullifying a potential touchdown; has been a frequent visitor to the goal line without scoring, indicating repeated unrealized scoring opportunities.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

NegativeProjection3:46

Running back who was tackled at the one-yard line in Week 8 without scoring a touchdown, representing a missed goal-line opportunity on a drive where multiple backs (Quinnon Judkins, Love, and Tyler Algier) were stopped at or near the goal line.

Insight page

Jordan Addison

NegativeUsage4:59

Vikings wide receiver who led all players in unrealized air yards in Week 8 with significant downfield fantasy-friendly opportunities that didn't result in completions; also drew 17+ yards in defensive pass interference penalties, indicating defensive interference limiting his production opportunity.

Insight page

Justin Herbert

NegativeProjection8:47

Both interceptions in Week 8 were horrific. Ian Hartitz was so concerned about Herbert's interception pattern this season that he set an alarm to create a lowlight cutup. Through eight weeks, Herbert has thrown seven or eight interceptions where the decision-making was baffling; many occurred from clean pockets despite offensive line issues and a weak receiver room. Hartitz attributes significant blame to Herbert for his poor play despite Mike McDaniel not delivering as expected.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

NegativeMatchup12:27

Missed a 16-yard touchdown opportunity in Week 8 when the pass was misfired; represents unrealized scoring ceiling for the Vikings star receiver.

Insight page

Keon Coleman

NegativeUsage5:17

Bills wide receiver ranks in the top 10 for unrealized air yards in Week 8 and had a missed 74-yard touchdown opportunity when Josh Allen overthrew him deep downfield against Baltimore; Coleman had separation on Maron Humphrey but the ball sailed over his head, representing significant unrealized scoring ceiling.

Insight page

Kevin Coleman

NegativeProjection4:14

Wide receiver who had a nullified touchdown in Week 8; his touchdown reception was called back, reducing his actual scoring output for the week.

Insight page

Khalil Shakir

NegativeProjection4:14

Had a nullified touchdown reception in Week 8, meaning a touchdown reception was called back, reducing his actual scoring output for the week.

Insight page

Matthew Golden

NegativeUsage5:05

Packers wide receiver with 148 unrealized air yards in Week 8; has accumulated 898 unrealized air yards on the season—the most among all players by 215 yards—indicating consistent downfield opportunities that haven't converted to completions. Also leads the league in defensive pass interference penalties drawn with six total and 115 yards. Had a 24-yard touchdown drop in Week 8 where the ball went right through his hands, though Jordan Love threw him a touchdown on the next play. Through Week 8, Golden ranks WR13 in PPR scoring (13 PPR points per game) and 7th in receiving yards, but faces significant unrealized ceiling: league leader in unrealized air yards, 9 drops (3 more than any other player), and leading in defensive pass interference yards; Jordan Love has missed him downfield multiple times, positioning him as a potential exception to the typical rookie WR bust pattern if execution improves.

Insight page

Michael Mayer

NegativeMatchup12:27

Missed a 5-yard touchdown opportunity in Week 8 when the pass was misfired; represents unrealized scoring ceiling for the Raiders tight end.

Insight page

Michael Wilson

PositiveProjection4:14

Had a nullified touchdown reception in Week 8; also ranks third in unrealized air yards for the week at 145 yards, indicating downfield fantasy-friendly opportunities that didn't result in completions. Posted 111 receiving yards and 1 TD plus 17 rushing yards in Week 8, but left significant scoring opportunities on the field: missed 40-yard TD overthrown, missed 3-yard TD overthrown, contested catch ruled incomplete on sideline (ball slipped out), and another deep sideline target off fingertips; substantial unrealized ceiling despite solid actual production.

Insight page

Mike Washington Jr.

NegativeUsage3:53

Running back who had significant trouble getting into the end zone in Week 8; was running through limited space with little room to run on his carries, suggesting offensive line or scheme constraints limiting his scoring upside despite touches.

Insight page

Nico Collins

PositiveUsage6:05

Nico Collins is the only pass catcher close to Matthew Golden in both DPI penalties drawn and yards, indicating elite target volume and opportunity despite defensive interference limiting production.

Insight page

Ollie Gordon II

NegativeUsage2:37

Ollie Gordon had a 15-yard gain nullified by a holding penalty in Week 8, representing a significant play that did not count toward fantasy scoring.

Insight page

Puka Nacua

NegativeProjection4:14

Had a nullified touchdown reception in Week 8, meaning a touchdown reception was called back, reducing his actual scoring output for the week.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

PositiveProjection2:05

Rasheed Rice caught what would have been a game-winning 1-yard touchdown in the Chiefs-Broncos game but it was negated by a false start penalty; Rice looked healthy in his first game back from a hamstring injury and could have had a two-touchdown day, suggesting bigger performances may be ahead per Ian Hartitz.

Insight page

Reggie Virgil

NegativeMatchup12:21

Missed a 29-yard touchdown opportunity in Week 8 when overthrown by Arizona's quarterback; represents unrealized scoring ceiling for the Cardinals tight end.

Insight page

Roman Wilson

NegativeUsage6:53

Dropped a pass from Aaron Rodgers that resulted in an interception in Week 8. This drop was one of three interceptions Rodgers threw that were dropped by receivers (also DK Metcalf and Jerry Bernard), indicating Wilson is receiving target volume and opportunity despite the negative play; the drop itself reflects negative variance in Rodgers' box score rather than poor decision-making.

Insight page

Tucker Kraft

NegativeUsage2:18

Tucker Kraft had a 21-yard catch nullified by an ineligible man downfield penalty in Week 8, representing a significant receiving gain that did not count toward fantasy scoring.

0:00is a great day to go beyond the box score and wrap up week eight with the she report. Okay, I'm going to be
0:05looking at players who were tackle off the one-yd line, did not score a touchdown the same drive, touchdowns that were taken off the board by a
0:12penalty, going through every single interception, trying to determine who was actually at fault, all that and much, much more. Again, just the sort of
0:18things that, you know, if you didn't get a chance to go through and watch every snap of every game or just didn't have a
0:23chance to get through all the box score stuff, don't worry, I got you. So with that guys, let's get after it with our
0:29first category, touchdowns that were sadly taken off the board due to a penalty. Starting off with Chase Brown.
0:35Our long national nightmare continues.
0:37This dude has now gone 122 touches since his last trip to the end zone. Should have had one in week eight. Now I
0:44honestly would have been a really cool one, guys. 20 yard touchdown catch in the back of the end zone. Basically moss, you know, some poor Titan defender
0:51out there. Unfortunately, one of the reasons why Burrow had time to get the ball off in the first place was because
0:56of a warranted holding penalty at the line of scrimmage. So, obviously sucks for Chase Brown Fantasy Managers. I will say Joe Burrow Fantasy Managers, don't
1:03worry. Got a very, very cool touchdown with Jamar Chase on the very next play instead. Another touchdown that got taken off the board due to I would say a
1:11warranted penalty was Ravens running back Derrick Henry. Guys, actually shot through the hole. got a nice cut back for a 10-yard touchdown, but that
1:18cutback was part partially so wide open because of a holding penalty in the first place on Ronnie Stanley. And the only other one actually wasn't
1:25officially a nullified touchdown, but if you guys did catch the end of the Chiefs Broncos game, you certainly saw it. And
1:30that was Rasheed Rice catching what would have been a game-winning one-yd score, but we did have that again false start penalty. So play is officially
1:37dead with the false start. I get it.
1:39Sometimes this happens and half the defense quits and I wouldn't have brought it up. But again, if you do watch that play, Broncos were still very
1:45much trying to keep him out of the end zone and they could not do it. So, could have, should have, would have been a two
1:50touchdown day for Rice in his first game back from that hamstring injury. Look pretty healthy out there. So, we'll see if bigger days are going to be ahead.
1:56Otherwise, guys, additional players that had 15 plus yard games. I got to draw a line somewhere. Taken off by a penalty.
2:02George Pickins 35 yard catch down the sideline. Holding brought that one back.
2:06Jordan Mason had a pretty nice run along the edge. 29 yards, but again was partially able to make that happen because of a hold in the first place.
2:12Garrett Wilson 28 yard catch got brought back by a hold. Tucker Craft 21 catch brought back by an inable man downfield
2:19uh penalty. Keenan Allen same thing for 18 yards. Tony Per 16 yards on a hold and Olly Gordon 15 yards brought back by
2:25a hold as well. Up next guys, I have players who were tackled at the one yard line and did not score a touchdown on
2:32the same drive. So sometimes they got additional chances, sometimes they did not. Either way, you guys were that close to having that anytime touchdown
2:38bet pay off or getting six extra points for the fantasy squad. Alas, you did not. Two guys had multiple of these on
2:45one drive. Kenneth Walker and Jonah Coleman in the same game. Luckily, Jonah was able to find the end zone later.
2:51Unluckily for Kenneth Walker, he was not. Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving, he lost that fumble on that freaking insane play where it was a
2:58fumble snap that Baker Mayfield turned to a speed option. And it looked like Bucky was about to score, but Jesse Bates, man, my goodness, came out of
3:05nowhere and knocked that ball out.
3:07Somebody's now done, I believe, three straight weeks. And I actually ran the numbers since he joined the Falcons in 2023. Jesse Bates has 25 combined
3:15interceptions and forced fumbles. Second place is Fred Warner at 20, man. So, Bates doing some really special things in Atlanta. Also note, Bucky wasn't the
3:24only guy to lose a fumble at the goal line. I am going to make an exception because I draw the line at one yard.
3:28Okay, you people have lives. All right, we got other stuff to get to. But Javvante Williams also did have a fumble
3:33at the 2 yardd line that we wound up seeing James Mitchell jump on for his first touchdown in four years. So any
3:39faithful James Mitchell, you know, tight end fantasy managers out there, you really got a good uh lucky draw on that one. Additional players who were again
3:46tackled at that one yard line, James Cook, he has hardly been a stranger on this list. Quinnon Judkins, Jeremiah Love, and Tyler Algier on the same
3:53drive. Aaron Jones, Mike Washington had a lot of trouble getting into the end zone, guys. And it is kind of funny, I
4:00would say, just seeing the difference of opinions. I don't know. I'm probably just too online, but watching people kind of go out and be like, well, look,
4:06Mike Washington didn't really have any room to run on these carries, which I agree with. All right. He was running through a brick wall. Kind of like Ashen
4:13Genty [clears throat] has been all year.
4:14But I digress. Puka Nua, Michael Wilson, Lab Makoni, Denzel Boston, Khalil Shakur, Jeremy Bernard, and Kevin Coleman Jr. were the wide receivers who
4:23had this shishi occurrence happen. Brock Bowers was that much closer to having a three touchdown day. They wound up seeing Kirk Cousin rushing touchdown
4:29instead. Darnell Washington had a sick long run down the sideline where he got tackled out the oneyd line. And then finally, Broncos quarterback Bo Nicks
4:36also tackled out the one. Did throw a touchdown to Jaylen Wadd though on the next play. Next category, I got unrealized air yards, guys. Nerdy metric
4:44basically meant to quantify the total distance a players incomplete targets traveled. So, a really high number is going to is going to indicate that these
4:51guys are getting downfield fantasy friendly opportunities, but whether they dropped it or whether the quarterback overthrew them, under threw them, couldn't come down with them for one
4:59reason or another. So with that, top 10 players in unrealized air yards in week eight, led off by Vikings wide receiver
5:05Jordan Addison, Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden at 148, Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson 145, Jamar Chase at 143. Also got Garrett Wilson and
5:14Denzel Boston over the 100 yard mark.
5:17And then finally, Adenai Mitchell, Caleb Douglas, Keon Coleman, and DK Metaf rounding out the top 10. So again, a lot of opportunity of the downfield variety
5:25for these dudes. Unfortunately, just couldn't make it happen. This really has been the case for a lot of this season for a couple of those guys at the top of
5:32the list. In fact, just five players have actually racked up 500 plus unrealized areas this year. Matthew Golden has 898. Wilson's all the way
5:41down there in second place at 683.
5:43Matthew Golden has 215 additional unrealized area yards. The next closest pass catcher blows my freaking mind, man. But Denzel Boston at 592, DK Mechaf
5:53at 550, and CD Lamb at 506. only other guys north of 500 on the year. Next up, defensive pass interference tracker.
6:00Like to quickly go through these and just, you know, point out that yeah, these guys obviously could have had a lot more yards if their defender didn't
6:06feel the need to interfere with them in the first place. So, not the biggest week of this. Just had five guys north
6:11of 17 yards in DPI penalties. Jordan Addison, Ryan Flamoy, Troy Franklin, Matthew Golden, and Gunnar Helm. But man, another situation to bring up
6:19Matthew Golden because he now again leads the league in both DPI penalties drawn with six and yards at 115. Nico Collins is the only guy really even
6:28close to both those numbers. So, also would say Jamar Chase and Jonah Coleman had shorter DPI penalties occur in the end zone. Next up, guys, interception
6:36doctor. I went back and watched all 23 interceptions from week eight and tried to assign blame. Okay, did a quarterback just obviously not see a defender and
6:43threw it right to him or is it a desperation heave at the end of regulation? Allah Tanner McKe against the Commanders. Again, just goes in the
6:50box score as a one interception with no context. So, here I am trying to give you exactly that. So, out of those 23
6:56interceptions, we had four, five, six, seven, eight, nine of them that did not deem to be the quarterback's fault.
7:02Okay. So, Daniel Jones had two picks.
7:04One of them was very bad. One of them went right through Tyler Warren's hands.
7:07I believe that was the pick 61. So, again, hardly has been a great season for Daniel Jones, but at least on that
7:12play, Tyler Warren did not do him any favors. also saw dropped interceptions from Aaron Rogers to DK Mechaf. That's how happened to Rogers three times this
7:19year, guys. Six picks on the season, but three of them, one to Mechaf, one to Jerry Bernard, and one to Roman Wilson.
7:25Literally popped off their hands first.
7:27Also had an initially dropped pass by Jackson Halls for Josh Allen, and Elijah Higgins for Jacobe Brassette. Also, Jared Goff threw one that again, it was
7:36a mixture of Jameson Williams falling down on his cut and also just a Vikings quarterback made a great freaking diving catch out there. So really wouldn't put
7:43that one too much on golf. Bryce Young, his pass was deflecting at the line of scrimmage and then got intercepted.
7:48Similar sentiment with Malik Willis. His was wild because it got deflected and still went like 20 yards downfield. But yeah, again, wouldn't say it's the most,
7:55you know, blameful interception in the world. Mentioned Tanner McKe, Desperate Heave on fourth and 25 like in the fourth quarter after we had that pretty
8:03ridiculous play that they said he was, you know, already ruled down even though it didn't seem like he was. And then
8:08finally, Gino Smith, they did have an interception, but it was on a Hail Mary at the end of the game. So, Gino
8:13actually playing some pretty damn good football with the Jets guys, especially now with all these weapons healthy. Uh, would say that Michael Penn four
8:19interceptions. I thought all were his fault, man. You can blame it on the rain if you want to, but really was just
8:24throwing the ball directly to Buccaneers defenders. Very good defense in Tampa Bay. Pennix was mostly played good ball this year, but yeah, he certainly did
8:31not on Sunday. Joe Burrow also would say all three of those interceptions were his fault. varying, you know, just chances that he was trying to get the
8:38ball to Jamar Chase and also Mike Jiki.
8:41All three interceptions though by Ammani Hooker. So, shout out to the Titans cornerback there. Justin Herbert, both of his were just horrific and it was bad
8:47enough that I actually woke up today and like set an alarm to remind myself to make a little lowlight cutup of all of
8:54Justin Herbert's interceptions this year because outside of one to David Njoku in like week two that he dropped, pretty much just one horrific one after
9:02another, man. Like I think there's a bomb against the Cardinals where the safety just kind of made a good play.
9:06But I kid you not, like seven or eight interceptions already this year through eight weeks that Justin Herbert has thrown where you're just like, "What
9:14were you even doing, man?" So I know the offensive line has been banged up and not done him a ton of favors. A lot of
9:20these happen from clean pockets. It's not the best wide receiver room in the world. Mike McDaniel clearly hasn't come through and been the wonder kidin that
9:26we were hoping that he could be here.
9:28But the end of the day, man, got to point that finger at multiple people.
9:32and Justin Herbert is firmly one of them. It's mystifying to me how bad he's been this season. Jordan Love, Joy Fernano, Kyler Murray, Matthew Stafford,
9:42more guys that threw interceptions that again I do consider to be their fault.
9:46Last category, guys, would have been a lot cooler if these were touchdowns going through straight up drop touchdowns and then better ball
9:51touchdowns. Okay, so the first category, the drop touchdowns, though, these are plays that were officially ruled as drops by True Media. Okay, so Packers
9:58wide receiver Matthew Golden had a nice little move. I forget what they call this route. I saw Beckham hit it the
10:04first time, but it's like the curl, then they spin around. They actually go deep.
10:08It was great. Should have had the potential 24 yard touchdown. Went right through his hands. Jordan Love said, "I don't really care." Threw him a
10:13touchdown the next play anyway. So, seemed to work out okay. One that didn't work out quite as okay was Bills tight
10:19end Dalton Concaid had a wide open 11 yard score, guys right through his hands. So, Josh All wound up finding DJ
10:26Moore on the next play for a touchdown.
10:27So didn't hurt the Bills and Con got one later. But yeah, he really should have had two touchdown day there in week
10:32eight. Juan Delale Robinson potential 15 yard touchdown. Wouldn't need a little bit of yak, but certainly looked like he had space and room to get in the end
10:39zone if he could just caught the ball.
10:41Uh Jets wide receiver AD Metro Mitchell and Steelers wide receiver DK Metaf.
10:44These ones were similar. Okay, they were both open enough where I think a better pass overall probably would have led to
10:50a walk-in touchdown, but the ball was a little bit underthrown and the receivers didn't exactly help the cause by dropping the ball. In DK Metaf's case,
10:57he really didn't help matters because it got, you know, intercepted by Denzel Ward afterwards. But in both cases, I will give them at least a little bit
11:04more leniency than most because I think a better ball in the first place probably doesn't lead to the drop. That said, guys, do have a list of, you know,
11:11fairly long list this week of plays where a player was open enough downfield or just in the end zone to feasibly
11:17score a touchdown if we could just go ahead and assume they would have caught the ball. But I guess we'll never know
11:21because it was overthrown, underthrown, thrown behind him in some variety and we did not get those six points. So long one guys from Bills wide receiver Keon
11:29Coleman. He flew right by Maron Humphrey down the field. Could have been a 74 yarder but Josh Allen unfortunately overthrew it. Also know one of those Joe
11:37Burrow interceptions that was intended for Jamar Chase who had a couple steps deep for a potential 42 yard touchdown.
11:42Unfortunately that was underthrown.
11:43Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson not once but twice 40 yards and three yards. He was overthrown for potential scores. So, very good day for Wilson,
11:51but man, could have been even bigger.
11:53Jordan Asan, a potential 38-yard touchdown underthrown. Not exactly a new phenomenon with Kylo this year. It has been rough. Uh Denzel Boston, potential
12:0132-y touchdown overthrow. Reggie Virgil from the Cardinals, 29 yard touchdown overthrow. Chicka Cochwell from the Commanders, potential 21 yard touchdown overthrow. Also had Justin Jefferson
12:10from 16 yards, Jacobe Myers from seven, and Michael Mayer from five yards. All misfired. Also would just add Garrett Wilson potential 35 plus yard gain was
12:19overthrown and Kyle Pittz again not a good day for Michael Pennial 30-yard gain sadly overthrown. Only two other things I would point out here that just
12:28didn't cleanly fit into any category but they were pretty sweet plays. Denzel Boston from five yards out and then Chica Conquo from seven yards out made
12:36sweet one-handed catches. Like legit stabbed it. Didn't need to, you know, kind of comfort the ball into their arm or anything. Like just plucked that
12:42thing out of the air with one hand.
12:44unfortunately did not get both of their feet down in bounds, but really good, you know, just again displays of catching ability by both players in
12:51those instances. Last thing, guys, I did want to shout out the two she MVPs of the week. And honestly, if we had to do
12:57kind of a sheesh MVP mid-season award sort of situation, these might very well be the top two dudes. And we're starting
13:03off with the leader, Mr. Matthew Golden.
13:05Again, can't say enough good things about Matthew Golden this season. All right. He is actually, as it stands right now, the wide receiver, 13 and PPR
13:12points per game, and he's seventh in receiving yards. This was a guy who had a very, very iffy rookie season. The
13:18historical, you know, just comps that didn't produce as many yards like he did. It's a little bust, but guess what?
13:24He's looking like one of the exceptions to the rule. That said, so much opportunity has been left on the field this season, guys. All right, we're
13:31talking about the leader by far in unrealized air yards. We're talking about a guy with nine drops on the season. That's three more than any other
13:38player and also leading the way in defensive pass interference yards. So, not all things that are on him. Jordan Love has missed him downfield a few
13:45times and obviously the DPI yards are situations where yeah, he was doing something to get those flags thrown in the first place. But just as great as
13:53Matthew Golden has been at certain parts this season, he's also left a lot of meat on the bones. So, hey, ceiling
13:59really could be the roof if everything comes together for the secondyear talent. And then also Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson guys again 111
14:06yards and a touchdown receiving chipped in a 17yard rush but we had the 40 yard potential touchdown overthrown. Also the three-yard potential touchdown thrown
14:14overthrown and wide and just another couple plays man contested catch down the sideline. I think it originally got ruled a catch and then they actually saw
14:20the ball slipped out at the end. Rare good coverage I believe by Don Bland there and then just another deep one
14:25down the sideline that just went off the fingertips. So you add it all together and pretty much similar to Matthew Golden, there's just been a lot of
14:32opportunity left on the field, but at least we have seen still enough of a good amount capitalized on for Michael Wilson to generally have been, you know,
14:40not every week this year, but he's put together four or so really solid weeks.
14:44Hopefully more to come if the Cardinals can stabilize things under center. But guys, that's going to do it for me here.
14:49Hope you've been enjoying these videos.
