Kevin Szafraniec uses RotoViz’s Advanced Stats Explorer to uncover under-the-radar trends at the wide receiver position from the first 11 weeks of the 2025 NFL season. It feels pretty safe to say that Michael Wilson’s overall WR1 finish in Week 11 was one of the most unexpected performances of the season up to this point.

Kevin Szafraniec discusses the biggest storylines of Week 11 with the help of RotoViz’s industry-leading suite of tools, most notably the Monday Review Tool.

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.
