Week 12 FBS Wide Receiver Return on Investment Top 20

FBS ROI in Flux!

Only one week left in the regular season before Conference Championship Games and the overall FBS ROI rankings remains unsettled.

With the regular season coming to a close, the Return on Investment numbers will move from preliminary to final as other data and adjustments are added to the formula to zero in on under the radar WRs.



  •  Top Five - Last week's Top Five has turned over 60% with Adonis Jennings and Jordan Lasley crashing the top 5 (Lasley was one of my pre-season "Breakout" candidates).
  • New Number 1 - After 3 straight weeks at #1, Sergio Bailey II has relinquished the top spot to last week's #7, Trevon Brown whose raw numbers so far this season represents 153% more production than the average FBS receiver.
  • Last Lap - James Washington, Cedrick Wilson and Tyre Brady have all registered in the top 20 in every weekly list.  Current LA Rams WR Josh Reynolds was the only player to go wire to wire last year; we will see if any of these three can register on every 2017 list. 
  • Light Weights - We track Height/Weight as a measure of mass and based on last year's NFL Player Combine average Height/Weight of 2.79 lbs/inch, only 6 players make the cut.  Granted, once the boys go home to train, we expect to see many more cross that line (thanks to Mamma's cookin').
  • TD Makers - Based on the stats, only Tre'Quan Smith and Brady have exceptional TD production, needing less than 5 receptions to generate a touchdown.  
  • Where are the Big Names? - Remember, ROI is a measure of efficiency and so, we will uncover a lot of names who don't get a lot of publicity.  Some of the biggest Draft names didn't make the top 20 either because they haven't haven't spent 4 years in school or just didn't make the cut.  
Next week we will highlight the final regular season wrap up for all four divisions in NCAA.

Shameless Self-Promotion!
