Week 2 WR Advanced Stats: Was Wan’Dale Robinson’s New Role Against Dallas a Sign of Things to Come or Simply an Aberration?

Kevin Szafraniec uses RotoViz’s Advanced Stats Explorer to uncover under-the-radar trends at the wide receiver position from Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season.

The offensive explosion that was Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season led to plenty of wide receiver scoring. And it wasn’t just the stars who put on a show, as Wan’Dale Robinson, Troy Franklin, and Hunter Renfrow all finished as WR1s. Were these performances simply a flash in the pan, or the beginning of something more? Let’s jump into the data and find out!

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 Targets, Intended Air Yards, Yards 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 146 in Week 2, up from 125 in Week 1.
