Week 12 WR Advanced Stats: Courtland Sutton (and His QB) Have Rounded Into Form Over the Course of the 2024 Season

In many instances, fantasy football championships are not decided by the players who start hot out of the gate, but by those who finish the season strong. This week’s article is full of wide receivers who may not have had the best start to the season, but will (hopefully) find themselves in position to be difference makers coming down the home stretch.

Before we get into the latest information available in the Advanced Stats Explorer, just a few quick reminders about the article.

Leading up to the season, I looked at the five years of data available in the Advanced Stats Explorer and broke it down into four separate articles: Routes and Targets, Intended Air Yards, Yards After the Catch and Evasion, and Catchable Targets, Drops, First Downs, and Touchdowns.
When working through the five-year sample, we found that the 90th percentile and above generally included most of the top-24 wide receivers for each metric in any given season. The 75th percentile and above included the top 55 to 60 WRs in any given metric per season. Given that these two cohorts easily apply to a normal 12-team fantasy league, they will be referenced often throughout the article.

In Week 12 the total number of players who earned at least one target during the 2024 season grew to 212 after our Week 11 sample included 210 players.^[1]Players who have been members of multiple teams this season have their production for each team listed as separate entries in the Advanced Stats Explorer.
