Week 16 NFL Advanced Analytics Superstars

Wide Receiver: Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals

Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona Cardinals
9 Receptions, 119 Yards, 15 Targets, 1 Touchdown
Performance Score: 92

While some aging receivers are seemingly fading into mediocrity (I'm looking at you, Dez Bryant!), the ageless Larry Fitzgerald continues to play and produce at an extremely high level, topping our metrics at the position in Week 16 with a Performance Score of 92.

The Arizona Cardinals' superstar is currently tied for second in the NFL in receptions with 101, the third time he has exceeded the century mark in the last three years. At the age of 34, Fitzgerald continues to dominate, and on Sunday, he posted a Reception NEP of 10.45.

With Drew Stanton at quarterback, Fitzgerald saw 15 targets, which he turned into 9 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. He certainly doesn't make as many explosive plays downfield as he did early in his career, yet he has managed to adapt and become one of the most effective slot receivers in the league.
