Week 10 WR Advanced Stats: Can Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison Survive the J.J. McCarthy Experience?

Kevin Szafraniec uses RotoViz’s Advanced Stats Explorer to uncover under-the-radar trends at the wide receiver position from the first 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season.

I tried. I really did. But as much as I wanted to believe that J.J. McCarthy could turn around his early-season struggles, he is a tough watch. After a breakout game in Week 10, Jalen Nailor definitely isn’t complaining. However, the same isn’t true for fantasy managers who have no other choice but to continue to slot Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison into their weekly lineups. Is there hope that we can collectively manifest a turnaround for the Vikings’ signal caller, or should we just cut our losses and move on from Minnesota’s passing game?

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

  • Early in the offseason, I updated my deep dive into the past six years of wide receiver data available in the Advanced Stats Explorer and broke it down into four separate articles: Routes and TargetsIntended Air YardsYards After the Catch and Evasion, and Catchable Targets, Drops, First Downs, and Touchdowns.
  • When working through the six-year sample, I 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.

Our current sample of wide receivers to earn a target in 2025 rose to 198 in Week 10, up from 194 in Week 9.
