Russell Wilson led all quarterbacks this week on DYAR over the middle, averaging 15 yards per pass attempt on those throws… Josh Allen‘s totals include 17 receiving DYAR for the hook-and-ladder touchdown with Amari Cooper.. Kyler Murray added on seven carries for 48 yards. His value goes from 54 YAR to 105 DYAR with opponent adjustments for playing Minnesota… Caleb Williams sees his value go from 59 YAR to 105 DYAR for opponent adjustments against Detroit. Williams had -35 passing DYAR in the first half of the game and then 127 passing DYAR after halftime… Aidan O’Connell led all quarterbacks this week with 152 DYAR on deep passes (16+ air yards). The negative rushing value for O’Connell is the aborted snap that ended the game against Kansas City… Joe Burrow, not Allen or Jared Goff, is second in passing DYAR this season behind Lamar Jackson… Jackson had only 21 YAR this week but that becomes 87 DYAR against the Eagles defense…

Five Best Running Backs by DYAR

Rk	Player	Team	Runs	Rush Yds	Rush TD	Rec	Rec Yds	Rec TD	Total DYAR	Rush DYAR	Rec DYAR	Opp
1.	Chris Rodriguez	WAS	13	94	1	0/0	0	0	57	57	0	TEN
2.	Derrick Henry	BAL	19	82	0	3/3	29	0	45	30	15	PHI

5.	Brian Robinson Jr.	WAS	16	103	1	1/1	6	0	35	34	1	TEN

Chris Rodriguez, a 2023 sixth-round pick by the Commanders, had at least 4 yards on 12 of his 13 carries this week with a high of 25 yards… Derrick Henry (goes from 13 YAR to 30 DYAR) and Saquon Barkley (goes from 2 YAR to 21 DYAR) both had big opponent bonuses in rushing. Usually Barkley does more damage as a receiver, but this week it was Henry… Antonio Gibson had four carries that gained over 10 yards apiece… Najee Harris had three first downs through the air including a 25-yard catch on third-and-2… Brian Robinson is another player with an opponent bonus, because run defense is the one thing the Titans have done well this season.

Five Best Wide Receivers or Tight Ends by DYAR

Rk	Player	Team	Rec	Att	Yds	Avg	TD	Total DYAR	Opp
MNF	Jerry Jeudy	CLE	9	13	235	26.1	1	83	DEN
1.	Terry McLaurin	WAS	8	8	73	9.1	2	75	TEN
2.	Mike Evans	TB	8	12	118	14.8	1	44	CAR

4.	Trey McBride	ARI	12	12	96	8.0	0	41	MIN
5.	Jaxon Smith-Njigba	SEA	4	4	74	18.5	0	39	NYJ

Terry McLaurin is now second in the league in receiving DYAR for the season behind Ja’Marr Chase He converted for a new set of downs on six of his eight catches plus an 8-yard DPI in the third quarter… Mike Evans set the all-time record for DPI yardage last week and adds on another 3-yard DPI this week to go with eight different conversions on catches (seven first downs and a touchdown)… Justin Jefferson is now fourth in the league in receiving DYAR for the season… Trey McBride is third among tight ends for the season behind George Kittle and Mark Andrews.. Jaxon Smith-Njigba‘s catches included a 24-yarder on fourth-and-6 and a 25-yarder on third-and-9.

Worst Wide Receiver or Tight End by DYAR

Rk	Player	Team	Rec	Att	Yds	Avg	TD	Total DYAR	Opp
1.	Travis Kelce	KC	7	13	68	9.7	0	-34	LV

This is a weird one, with Travis Kelce finishing last because of a) the adjustment for playing the Raiders, b) six incomplete targets, and c) the hard time the system has with lateral plays. If we credit Kelce with five yards on a third-and-10, that’s a failure. But the play was actually a success, as Samaje Perine got the needed yardage to convert for a new set of downs. If we give Kelce full credit for this play, then the lowest wide receiver or tight end is Darius Slayton of the Giants, who caught 2-of-6 targets for 8 yards on Thanksgiving.
