NCAA Wide Receiver Efficiency through October 20, 2019 for FBS, FCS, DII and DIII

ROI for Every NCAA Division

You know why we are here...but if you don't, check out an explanation of "RETURN ON INVESTMENT"

One note, the presentation for ROI is now based on the percentage above average for the Top 150 receivers for that week, based on receiving yards.

FBS

• T 'n' T - Tee Higgins and Tamorrion Terry held to their #1 and #2 spots, respectively.   Higgins' Efficiency (mainly, the production output his team can expect when he is entrusted with the football) is 330.7% above that of the average FBS receiver.  Wow.
• New Kid in Town - Quez Watkins flew into the #3 spot on a lightning bolt.  He previously had strong ROI but he didn't meet the minimum number of receptions established under the "Sammie Coates" rule but after last week's performance, he makes the best debut of the week.
• Staying Power - There are only 7 players who have been on each of the first four Top 20 lists this year:  Higgins, Terry, Gandy-Golden, Bayless, Rozner , Davis and Bradley.

FCS

Formerly called "Division I-AA", FCS has its own share of solid, highly efficient receivers.

• Hinds CC (MS) transfer Chris Blair retained his #1 spot from last week with 14.6% of team's receptions and 26.6% of his teams receiving yards.
• Maine Black Bear Earnest Edwards was pretty much a beast out of HS:  All-State (NY), 2X state champs, MVP of the state championship game, 5x state champ at Bball.  So when you check his Rivals page which lists his highest profile offer coming from local Buffalo, you have to think him being billed at 5'10" 170 lbs may have limited his options.  Regardless, the kid is nice. Just YouTube him...
• A graduate transfer Keyston Fuller was dealt a tough hand. As an All-State (GA) WR considered WR27 in the nation, he signed to Duke then redshirted his freshman year only to take a medical redshirt his next year. He played in all games the next two seasons but was not an impact player. At Richmond, he has a shot to prove himself and we will be watching. 



Division II

The D2 and D3 receivers include height, weight and Touchdown Rate along with ROI Above Average rate.

Division III

Touchdown Rates

Personal Rate = Rate of Receptions per Touchdown (Ceedee Lamb has 10 touchdowns and 31 receptions)

Team Comp Rate = Personal Rate compared to Team's overall Touchdown Rate (example, Aiyuk's touchdown rate is one every 6.4 receptions while the rest of the Sun Devils score at a rate of one every 28 receptions). 

Lamb's TD rate is impressive but the rest of the team also scores as a nice clip of 1 every 8 receptions so his Team Comp Rate is good but not great.
