"According to TruMedia, Benjamin’s been thrown to on 30.6 percent of the fourth-quarter routes he’s run. That’s tops in the NFL over the course of his career. Factor in his league-leading touchdowns-per-route average (0.034) and eighth-best yards-per-catch average (16.3), and Benjamin produces more offense every time he goes out for a late-game pass than anyone else on the planet."

This is not me trying to poo on the guy, he's been really solid this year and I have been happy with his production thus far, but do those stats take into account Garbage time stats as well?

I can remember numerous times last year and his rookie year in which Benjamin didn't do a whole lot in the first 3 quarters, only to have him go off when the other team was winning or in prevent defense. It's the same for Allen Robinson who padded his stats quite a bit in garbage time throughout his career.

It would be looking at every other receivers "garbage stats" as well though if we're only looking at 4th quarter passes.

That's why I mentioned Allen Robinson specifically as well. Blake Bortles puts up elite numbers at QB when the game is out of reach. Allen Robinson is the main beneficiary of that.

Did Kelvin hurt his knee? The DFS world is already talking about CMC value with kelvin out.

Of course he hurt his knee. He almost got it broke in half several games ago. He will probably be dealing with this issue on and off for a while.

    • Playing around with mock draft simulator this is probably my favorite one yet All the Super tantalizing potentials were off the board at 19. Proctor was there but I really question if he can hold up at OT in the NFL at his size. I think speed rushers might put him in a blender. I was definitely willing to move down to pickup mire capital. There's an obvious focus on the trenches in this draft. If you can own the LOS you can win a lot of games. Hell, the Seahawks just won a SB doing just that. Iheanachor oozes potential. He has all the physical tools to end up being the beat OT in this class but he's pretty raw having not been playing football long. Well worth it with the first pick in the 2nd. Christen Miller is listed as a DT here but he'd play DE in our defense. Not a lot of people are talking about it focusing on LB instead but our DEs suck too. Lawson should be a day one starter at MLB. His NFL ceiling might be more good than great but that's fine. He's smart, he's capable, and he was the QB in that Bama defense. That's what we need. If you want to runaway 3-4 defense, you need a dog at NT. We don't have one. Orange can be that. He's not gonna pile up stats on his own but that's not the point of a NT. The point of a NT is to make everyone else's job easier.  Slaughter is a potential starting center. Maybe not as a rookie but he could potentially be the long-term answer. I'm never going to give up on my dream of the Panthers having a true sideline to sideline ball hawking FS. Safety wasn't high on my list but Bud Clark was too tempting to pass up. At the very least he's a guy who should earn a role on 3rd and long obvious passing down type situations.  Kevin Coleman is exactly the type of slot WR type we need working the underneath and muddle with T-Mac and Coker on the outside.  TJ Hall is just a dog and he's experienced playing outside and at nickel. He can cover and he's not afraid to step up against the run. He should be able to earn a roster spot as he hopefully develops as an NFL player. Nwaiwu is another development type pick with the advantage of having experience playing both LG and RG in college. At this point in the draft you're likely looking at guys projected as career backups and the more versatile you are as a backup the more roster value you have. I packaged two late rounders together to move io to secure Allar who has all the physical tools you want in a QB and has largely been forgotten since he missed a lot of games down the stretch this year. If he didn't he'd likely be a mid-round pick. He might still end up being a mid-round pick. If I could get him as a developmental guy in the 6th I'm doing that all day.
    • Honestly thought Ickey was fairlt average. That's just based on the eye test. I haven't seen any grades or anything to base that on. Usually when the QB was pressured, it seemed like it was coming from the LT or RG. 
    • Its actually easier than the one we played this season of you compared 2025 win pct.of opponents.
