Weekly dashboard of QB stats. Thanks to the nflscrapR project and the NFL Next Gen Stats who are the timely sources of this data. Shout-out to Arrowhead Pride’s Ethan Douglas whose weekly advanced analytics articles inspired some of these reports (OK, I stole them). Commentary will be brief but feel free to let me know in the comments that stats aren’t everything.

HOW WELL?
Ryan Tannehill has been quietly playing some good games since replacing Marcus Mariota. Colts fans looking past the Titans might want to take a second look.

TO WHO?
A.J. Brown seems to be the favorite.

I don’t think I have ever seen a chart where all of the receivers are above average value.

HOW FAR?
Tannehill throws it far and he is throwing it well.

Bench time limited total volume, but his TD range is good.

HOW ACCURATE?
He is highly accurate at all depths.

HOW QUICK?
He holds the ball a bit longer than average and takes a lot of sacks.
