Week 6 Top College Football Wide Receivers by ROI

"Return on Investment" helps screen out draft eligible receivers who might otherwise fly under the radar.  To learn more check out the initial ROI article for the 2019 season here .

Several teams had bye weeks so let's see how the Top 20 FBS looks:

"DNR-R" = Did Not Qualify due to total receptions being below threshold.  "DNQ-Y" = Did Not Qualify due to not in the top 150 in total receiving yards.  "< Top 20" = ROI was not in the Top 20"


Notes

  • Clemson's Tee Higgins had the week off and stayed in the top spot.
  • Okie State's Tylan Wallace fell 15 spots despite having 85 yards vs Texas Tech, however, they came on 11 receptions.
  • And then there were three - Over the last two weeks, the Top 5 was dominated by receivers whose names began with the letter "T".  AGG of LIberty crashed the party last week and now it's Binjimen Victor, the 6'4" Ohio State WR who debuts at number 5 to break up the "Terrible T's".
  • Finally out of Hockenson and Fant's shadows, Iowa's Ihmir Smith-Marsette debuts at #13.  He adds stellar return skills to the mix having been Big Ten Return Specialist of the Year.
  • Redshirt Junior Scotty Washington comes from an athletic family  (his dad played forward at St. Francis in the 80's).  At 6'5" 225lbs, he is rebounding from a shoulder injury in 2018 and leading the Demon Deacons in YPR and touchdowns.
  • LSU and dynamic wide receivers go hand in hand so Ja'Marr Chase deserves a  closer look. An all-state receiver in Louisana who was also state long jump champ, so it will be interesting to see what this true sophomore puts together this season with QB Joe Burrow under center.
  • Kent State has secretly been developing solid receivers and Isaiah McKoy could be one to get recognition on a future draft day.  The true sophomore had a nice 4/85/1 day against Auburn and is averaging 14.3 YPC.
