Head into Week 7 with everything you need to know, courtesy of Ian Hartitz's 32 Facts for 32 teams:

One fact for every NFL team that I personally find interesting. Maybe you will too! Cool? Cool.

As always: It's a great day to be great.

Arizona Cardinals

  • Question: Has Kyler Murray been reluctant to throw over the middle?

Yup. No QB has thrown a lower percentage of their passes between the hashes on intermediate passes (10-25 air yards) than Kyler Murray this season. Maybe the whole being 5'10" thing isn't ideal for standing tall (lol) in the pocket and seeing the middle of the field.


Atlanta Falcons

  • Question: Is Bijan Robinson even the most productive B. Robinson in the NFL right now?

It's a tie! Bijan Robinson is averaging 15.5 PPR points per game this season. Commanders RB Brian Robinson is averaging … 15.5 PPR points per game this season. Basically the cool vs. creepy dude HR meme.


Baltimore Ravens

  • Question: How efficient has Lamar Jackson been through the air vs. on the ground?

Arguably the best in both! The NFL's leader in adjusted yards per attempt (min. 50 pass attempts) is Lamar Jackson (9.3).

The NFL's leader in yards per carry (min. 50 rush attempts) is Lamar Jackson (6.3).


Buffalo Bills

  • Question: Did rookie Ray Davis bring a different dynamic to this backfield on Monday night?

You could certainly say that. Overall, RB Ray Davis gained 74 rush yards after contact in Week 6–the most in a game by a Bills RB since James Cook in Week 2 of 2023 (101).


Carolina Panthers

Pretty, pretty, pretty good. Chuba Hubbard among all RBs since Andy Dalton took over in Week 3:

  • Touches: 88 (3rd)
  • Total yards: 488 (2nd)
  • PPR points: 82.8 (2nd)

Chicago Bears

  • Question: Has Caleb Williams started to look like a No. 1 overall pick recently?

You bet! EPA+CPOE composite score is a good advanced metric to help demonstrate which QBs have been the most efficient and accurate on a per-dropback basis.

By this stat, nobody has been better than Caleb Williams over the past three weeks.


Cincinnati Bengals

  • Question: Is Chase Brown emerging as the best fantasy RB in Cincinnati?

It's looking that way! The Bengals continue to feature both Zack Moss and Chase Brown in their run game, but the latter back has surged ahead when it comes to realized production: Brown joins Derrick HenryD'Andre SwiftKenneth WalkerChuba Hubbard, and Alvin Kamara as the only RBs with 50-plus PPR points over the last three weeks.


Cleveland Browns

Very. Deshaun Watson has taken a league-high 31 sacks this season. This puts him on pace for 87.8 over the course of 17 games. The NFL record is held by former Texans QB David Carr (76).


Dallas Cowboys

  • Question: How rare is the Cowboys' current offensive ineptitude?

Pretty rate! Cowboys points per game over the past five seasons with Dak Prescott under center:

  • 2020 pre-Dak injury: 32.6 (No. 2)
  • 2021: 31.2 (No. 1)
  • 2022 post-Dak injury: 32.5 (No. 1)
  • 2023: 29.9 (No. 1)
  • 2024: 21 (No. 19)

Denver Broncos

  • Question: Has Bo Nix been a bit of a Jekyll-and-Hyde QB this season?

Abso-lutely. Bo Nix's EPA per dropback in the first half: -0.367, which ranks dead last among 32 qualified QBs*.

Nix's EPA per dropback in the second half: +0.136, which ranks 13th*.

*Prior to Week 7's TNF game


Detroit Lions

In this case, yes.

Steelers WR George Pickens made headlines by calling Amon-Ra St. Brown a "slot merchant" this week. Note that the Sun God has played more snaps out wide (154) than in the slot this season (133). Since the beginning of last season, St. Brown has more TDs (8 vs. 5) and first downs (45 vs. 44) than Pickens when aligned out wide.

He's also ahead in yards per route run (2.93 vs. 2.21), a mark that trails only Tyreek HillNico CollinsCeeDee Lamb, and A.J. Brown among 146 qualified pass-catchers.

Oh yeah, Jared Goff also has more receiving TDs than Pickens this season. There's also that.


Green Bay Packers

  • Question: How good has second-year TE Tucker Kraft been this year?

Rather awesome. ESPN's Advanced Receiver Ratings dub George Kittle as the league's best TE this season. Tied for second? Tucker Kraft and Dallas Goedert.

What are they putting in the South Dakota State Gatorade coolers?


Houston Texans

  • Question: Is Stefon Diggs being used differently in Houston compared to Buffalo?

Yes. Stefon Diggs is being used as an underneath possession receiver more than at any other point in his career:

  • 2024: 7.8-yard average target depth
  • 2023: 10.8
  • 2022: 11.9
  • 2021: 11.9
  • 2020: 10.5
  • 2019: 15.6
  • 2018: 9.8
  • 2017: 11.8
  • 2016: 8.7
  • 2015: 11

Indianapolis Colts

  • Question: Who has been the more accurate Indy QB this season?

The answer is Joe Flacco when throwing under 20 yards downfield, but the deep ball completion rate and yards per attempt numbers might surprise you:

  • Short: Joe Flacco (84% completion, 5.7 YPA), Anthony Richardson (63.3%, 5.3)
  • Intermediate: Flacco (57.1%, 10.8), Richardson (45%, 10.3)
  • Deep: Flacco (29.4%, 10.2), Richardson (35.7%, 15.9)

Jacksonville Jaguars

  • Question: Just how much better has Tank Bigsby been this year?

An absurd amount. Tank Bigsby has made quite the improvement this season:

  • 2023 (among 68 RBs): 2.6 yards per carry (68th), 2.3 yards after contact per carry (61st)
  • 2024 (among 61 RBs): 7.2 yards per carry (1st), 5.85 yards after contact per carry (1st)

Kansas City Chiefs

Nope. The two lowest single-season average target depths in PFF's database (since 2006):


Las Vegas Raiders

  • Question: Is Brock Bowers on pace to be the most productive rookie TE ever?

Getting there! Most yards per game by a rookie TE in NFL history:


Los Angeles Chargers

  • Question: Have Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman neutered this passing game's upside?

You could say that. Justin Herbert's games with under 200 passing yards by year:

  • 2020: 1
  • 2021: 2
  • 2022: 1
  • 2023: 3
  • 2024: 4

Los Angeles Rams

In terms of raw production: Awesome. Kyren Williams' average of 19.4 PPR points per game is the sixth-highest mark at the position through six weeks of action.

But in terms of per-touch efficiency? Not so great. Overall, only two RBs are averaging under four yards per touch this season (min. 50 touches): Zamir White … and Kyren Williams.


Miami Dolphins

  • Question: Just how bad has this offense been without Tua?

Horrific! Last season the Dolphins averaged an NFL-best 37.2 points per game during the first six weeks of the season. This year? An NFL-low 12 points per game. The -25.2 point differential is more than three times lower than the next-largest dropoff (Chargers, -7.2).


Minnesota Vikings

  • Question: Does Justin Jefferson own the Lions?

Legally, no. But otherwise? Yes. Overall, Justin Jefferson has averaged 134.1 yards in eight career games against the Lions. That's good for 1,073 yards in under half a season of work.


New England Patriots

  • Question: Did Drake Maye provide some much-needed downfield goodness in his first career start?

Sure did! Passing TDs thrown 20-plus yards downfield:

  • Drake Maye: 1
  • Every other Patriots QB combined since Week 1, 2023: 1

New Orleans Saints

  • Question: How heavy has Alvin Kamara's workload been this year?

Eddie Lacy-level heavy: Alvin Kamara has a career-high 132 touches through six weeks*. That puts him on pace for 374 across 17 games. His single-season high is 287 in 2021.

*Prior to Week 7 TNF


New York Giants

You could say that. Most receiving yards per game by a Giants receiver in the Super Bowl era (min. 4 games):


New York Jets

Overall, yes, although it hasn't made the biggest difference on the scoreboard. The Jets have scored the exact same amount of points through six weeks of 2024 as they did in 2023 (113). Aaron Rodgers' average of 6.4 yards per attempt also just barely clears Zach Wilson's career mark of 6.3.


Philadelphia Eagles

  • Question: Has Jalen Hurts become less dynamic as a rusher over the years?

Perhaps due to injury, but yes. Jalen Hurts' yards per carry (excluding QB sneaks):

  • 2020: 5.6
  • 2021: 5.6
  • 2022: 6.2
  • 2023: 4.5
  • 2024: 3.7

Pittsburgh Steelers

  • Question: Who has the most targets this season without a receiving TD?

Great question:


San Francisco 49ers

  • Question: Is Kyle Shanahan largely responsible for overseeing the two most efficient QBs in NFL history on a per-pass basis?

Weirdly specific question, but in terms of most career yards per attempt over the past 50 years (min. 500 attempts): Pretty much!

  1. Brock Purdy (9.1)
  2. Jimmy Garoppolo (8.2)

Seattle Seahawks

  • Question: Does Geno Smith deserve more respect from the mainstream media?

Sure does. Highest completion percentage over expected among all QBs with 300-plus dropbacks since 2022:

  1. Geno Smith (+3.9%)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Question: How great has Baker Mayfield's TD production been with the Bucs?

Really great! Most games with x passing TDs since Week 1 of last season (including playoffs) …

2+ passing TD:

  1. Jordan Love (17)
  2. Baker Mayfield (16)

3+ passing TD:

  1. Love (8)
  2. Mayfield, Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy (7)

4+ passing TD:

  1. Prescott (4)
  2. Mayfield, Purdy (3)

Tennessee Titans

Yup. Last week Calvin Ridley became just the 13th player with at least eight targets in a game and *zero* receptions since targets began being tracked back in 1992.


Washington Commanders

So far, so good! Austin Ekeler is currently averaging career-best marks in yards per carry (6.1) and yards per reception (13.2). His average of 8.6 yards per touch is the highest mark among 64 RBs with 25-plus combined carries and receptions this season.
