NFL Trends Deep Dive with Next Gen Stats Research Analyst James Reber
About this episode
Marcas Grant, Michael F. Florio, and LaQuan Jones start the show by considering the career of former Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and whether he is a fantasy football hall of famer.
Then they are joined by Next Gen Stats research analyst James Reber to discuss two emerging NFL trends that could affect fantasy football going forward: the increased rate of tight end chip blocks and the greater prevalence of two-high safety coverages.
James explains why chip blocking has become more common, shares the tight ends that catch the most passes off of chip blocks, and discusses which tight ends might return extra value in fantasy based on this trend.
Then James dives into the data on two-high safety coverages and reveals which wide receivers are the best at breaking down these types of defensive looks.
