Arizona Cardinals
Go routes have accounted for 26.8 percent of Marvin Harrison Jr.’s targets
The NFL average is 14.4 percent for all wide receivers. Marv is good at these routes, so you’d expect him to earn more looks on them. But the Cardinals are also giving him a disproportionate amount of clearout routes. He has run a go route on 26.4 percent of his passing plays compared to 17.4 percent for all wide receivers.
Atlanta Falcons
Kyle Pitts has run a route on 70 percent of the Falcons’ dropbacks since Week 8
That would put Pitts at 19th among tight ends on the season. It’s not a terrible rank, but one of the biggest selling points with Pitts early in the year was that he ran every route, covering up his poor target rate of .16 on the season.

Josh Allen has topped 283 passing yards once
The Bills have a negative pass rate over expected this year and rank 26th in pace. Allen has only attempted 40 passes in a game on time as well. He did so six times last year and five times in 2022.
Carolina Panthers

Young is also eighth in EPA per play and 12th in CPOE over that stretch.

He is taking fewer sacks and doesn’t have a single turnover since the Panthers’ bye (which was Week 11 so “past three weeks” is only two games but it sounds more impressive and we’re trying to give the guy his flowers here). Young did this against a solid Kansas City defense and a putrid Tampa Bay squad. He gets a tough test with a surging Philly defense this week.
Chicago Bears
Caleb Williams is 11th in EPA per play since Thomas Brown took over as interim offensive coordinator
Williams was the QB27 before Brown took over. The rookie has put two of his best games on tape over the past two weeks with 596 yards, five touchdowns, and zero picks. PFF has charted him with…
