Among the most eye-catching revelations is Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who not only leads the league in receiving yards (1,041), but has been even more effective on deep passes. Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is also on track for multiple rushing triple crowns due to his impressive 891 rushing yards after contact, surpassing James Cook’s 920 total rush yards.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been lighting up defenses with 20 of his league-leading 25 touchdown passes coming against the blitz, putting him on pace to challenge single-season records. On the other side of the ball, the Denver Broncos defense is terrorizing quarterbacks, boasting a historic pressure rate of 42.9%, led by Nik Bonitto’s league-leading 23.0% pressure percentage.

Meanwhile, New York Jets quarterback Drake Maye, has excelled against disguised coverages, showcasing remarkable maturity. Despite his overall struggles, New York Giants quarterback Sam Darnold, has been surprisingly accurate on deep balls, posting the highest completion percentage (69.6%) in the Next Gen Stats era.
