The secret stat.
All right.
So I want you to guess this quarterback.
So minimum two games played among quarterbacks, this guy ranks eighth in deep throw percentage, fifth in air yards per attempt, second in yards on Scrambles ninth in completion percentage over expected per fantasy points data.
Everybody’s got a completion percentage over expected, uh, sta stat.
So I went with theirs because it best fits my narrative on this just transparency and 10th in fantasy points per drop back this quarterback Sal Vetri, can you guess two names are in my mind for two reasons?
He qualified it with two starts and the second in scrambles is like the biggest one.
So I got two guys in my head right now.
I’ll go with B Nicks.
I’m hoping is the answer.
Bow Nicks is the, the hour.
Let’s go.
Bow.
Nicks.
I mentioned him as like a waiver pick up on the last show and actually looking into how he’s performed again.
I know a lot of people that evaluate quarterbacks and, uh, don’t like B Nicks and I, I’m not sure if I like B Nicks or not, but from a fantasy perspective, I kinda like B nicks man, the scrambles, obviously that’s critical, but he has at least been for a guy that was kind of slammed early on.
He has at least been trying to let it rip the last three games.
And I think there’s been a little bit more confidence from the coaching staff to try to.
All right, let’s cut out some of the things.
Bo doesn’t do well, but let’s hunt for some big plays here and this is a stretch here the last three weeks where one of the games, his number one receiver, the only guy who I think is an even average starter at the pass catcher spots.
Courtland Sutton, they didn’t have a target or didn’t have a, like a registered target against the Saints on Thursday night.
I think that Bo Knicks, you look at it three out of the last four weeks.
A top 10 quarterback for fantasy football.
His worst performance during that time is like 14 Fantasy points which even guys like Josh Allen have had multiple stinkers in a row and you’re looking the last 5 to 6 weeks, Sean Payton and Bo Knicks right now.
It seems like something is going there.
