Week 10 NFL Advanced Analytics Superstars

Wide Receiver: Michael Floyd

Michael Floyd, WR, Arizona Cardinals
7 Receptions, 113 Yards, 9 Targets, 2 TD
NEP: +12.84

Another surprising face on this week's list, Michael Floyd paced all receivers in Week 10 with the highest NEP performance. An injury that forced him out of the game prevented what could've been an even higher final output.

Floyd hauled in a season-high 7 catches on 9 targets for 113 yards. He was also able to beat the Seattle secondary for two touchdowns in what could've been a monster game had he avoided a hamstring injury. After a slow start to the season, Floyd has scored five touchdowns in his last four games, as he has stepped up during John Brown's absence. Floyd made some terrific sideline grabs, too, catching a touchdown on the sideline inside the five-yard line and the other in the back corner with some nifty toe tapping.

His slow start through the season has hurt his overall Reception NEP (ranked 32nd among the 90 wide receivers with at least 15 receptions), but he's doing quite well on a per-target basis. His Reception NEP per target is fourth-highest among all receivers in the subset, showing that he is making the most of the opportunities thrown his way. He finished the week with +12.84 added to his Reception NEP and continues his second-half season surge. His 30.3 PPR fantasy points trailed only Antonio Brown this week.

Brown just missed repeating as the week's top player, but his +11.91 is nothing to scoff at. He took full advantage of a Big Ben revival and went off for 139 yards on 10 catches and scored a pair of touchdowns. Martavis Bryant joined in on the fun, hauling in 6 of 10 targets for 178 yards as the Steelers won with ease 30-9. Mike Evans caught 8 passes for the second-straight week and has gone over 100 yards for the fourth time this season. Doug Baldwin picked up a season-high 134 receiving yards and his third score of the season.
