4 more than the Dolphins.

CeeDee Lamb had 7 more targets than the entire Jets team this week.

How Josh Downs scored all of his 3 TDs.

Stephen Hoopes @stephenhoopes.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
You *really* want Josh Downs this week. WR17 in expected HPPR FP/game. He’s underperforming that by 3 FP/game because he's 0/6 on his 20+ air yard targets. Route and target shares are great, no Keenan, and a WAS pass defense that is bottom-4 in passing efficiency, success rate, and CPOE allowed.

Still have a few Week 4 lineup decisions to make? The box score only tells part of the story. @stephenhoopes.bsky.social digs into usage, efficiency, matchup and game environment across every game on the slate.

Yeah I had the same thought. Figured it wasn't "wet-jen" like it's spelled but also I have no idea.

I've got KC Concepcion as WR33 in expected HPPR fantasy points/game. But he's underperforming that expectation by 3.5 points/game as he's 1/3 on his deeper targets and hasn't been able to get a YAC TD on those few targets near the opponent's endzone.

Stephen Hoopes @stephenhoopes.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
In Week 3, Concepcion ran 4 routes in 2WR sets compared to Jeudy's 1. And he earned 3 targets, with an aDoT there of 8.3 yards compared to his typical depth of 5.5 yards, according to SIS. I think we'll start seeing more down-the-field use for Concepcion; we just need those targets to convert.

Stephen Hoopes @stephenhoopes.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The value of his typical target is about 11% below league average, but that could be changing. In Weeks 1-2, Jeudy ran 4 more routes than Concepcion in 2WR sets. The targets Concepcion got in those sets were much deeper down the field than his typical target, with an aDoT of 20.5 yards.

Every Week 4 matchup, through a fantasy lens. EPA. Success rate. PROE. CPOE. Usage. Game environment. @stephenhoopes.bsky.social puts the numbers together to show where each offense has an edge and where fantasy managers should be cautious.

Three weeks of fantasy points tell us who has produced. @stephenhoopes.bsky.social’ breakout model looks at who should have produced more based on the value of their opportunities. That gap can help point us toward what comes next.

Fantasy Football Week 3: Breakout Model Picks
With two weeks of data, it’s time to look at the breakout WR model for the first time this season. Let’s give some details on how this works. About the Breakout Receiver Model The table below shows pre-snap field position on the x-axis. That field position ranges from backed up in your own end zone on the left side to the opponent’s goal line on the right side. And then air yards are on the y-axis. The numbers in the table show the average number of half-PPR fantasy points that a target...

Hoping Ladd plays this week because I have him leading the league in expected points per target among WRs with at least 5 targets.

Fantasy Football Week 2 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Every Game Previewed | Hoopes There It Is
Welcome back to Hoopes There It Is! Just like last year, we’re previewing every game in the upcoming week, highlighting advanced stats like EPA, success rate, pass rate over expected (PROE), and completion percentage over expected (CPOE) to make the best decisions for your fantasy teams. To that end, we’re doing things a little differently this year. Don’t worry, the 40-or-so graphs and tables are staying. But at the top I’ll provide a quick start/sit section that stems from the longer write-ups.

What a runout for Trey McBride. Especially getting the win means potentially more time with Jacoby Brissett.

Just based on last year's stats, but yeah, 2nd toughest rushing matchup this week. And 2nd just because the Raiders were so god awful at rushing efficiency last year.
