Week 11 NCAA Football Wide Receiver Return On Investment Update

Two Regular Season Weeks Remaining!

In two weeks we will have Conference Championships, then Bowl season which will be our last looks at prospective players for NFL Draft 2018.  We have been faithfully tracking Wide Receiver efficiency measured through ROI for FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III.

FBS



  • Top Gun - Returning as the #1 position is Sergio Bailey II  of EMU who has an ROI of 39.8% which is 137% better than than the average WR. 
  • Furious Four - Top four remain unchanged while former ND transfer Guyton jumps up from #10 to round out the five.
  • Double Take - Two schools have 2 players in this week's Top 20: Oklahoma State (Washington and Ateman) and East Carolina (Grayson  and Brown).
  • Fresh, Man - The loan newbie to the list  is Corey Willis at #8; Willis, a dual threat HS QB who lead Holland (MI) HS to a district championship.  Also participated in basketball and track where he set records in the long jump and hurdles. He transitioned nicely to WR to earn 2nd Team MAC honors and was CMU's offensive MVP.   
  • No Accident - Cedrick Wilson, James Washington and Tyre Brady have been on our Top 20 list each week since week 3 of the season.  They have been consistent performers for their teams and the keen scout should take notice of that on their scorecards. 
  • The average Rec/TD ratio for FBS WR in Week 11 is 12.0; only two of 20 WR had worse than average ratios.  The best of the top 20 is Corey Willis at 1 TD for each 4.9 Receptions. The only qualifying player with a better ratio is Braxton Berrios of Miami (FL) who is at 1 TD every 4.8 Receptions...close. 
  •  

FCS


  •  Can You Keep Up? - FCS has fewer than 20 qualifying WRs with above average ROI so they only have 15 posted above.   
  • Musical Chairs - Lots of movement in the ranks since the last posted list although Gandy remains #1 for the FCS.
  • Welcome Aboard - three newbies:  Christian Gibbs,  Brandon Cox (2x All State [AR] former of Arkansas St.)  and Steffon Hill.

Here are the DII and DIII listings:

Division II



Division III
