Ian Hartitz goes team by team ahead of Week 7, highlighting a fantasy football-related stat that you should know.

Head into Week 7 with everything you need to know, courtesy of Ian Hartitz's 32 Facts for 32 teams:
One fact for every NFL team that I personally find interesting. Maybe you will too! Cool? Cool.
As always: It's a great day to be great.
Yup. No QB has thrown a lower percentage of their passes between the hashes on intermediate passes (10-25 air yards) than Kyler Murray this season. Maybe the whole being 5'10" thing isn't ideal for standing tall (lol) in the pocket and seeing the middle of the field.
It's a tie! Bijan Robinson is averaging 15.5 PPR points per game this season. Commanders RB Brian Robinson is averaging … 15.5 PPR points per game this season. Basically the cool vs. creepy dude HR meme.
Arguably the best in both! The NFL's leader in adjusted yards per attempt (min. 50 pass attempts) is Lamar Jackson (9.3).
The NFL's leader in yards per carry (min. 50 rush attempts) is Lamar Jackson (6.3).
You could certainly say that. Overall, RB Ray Davis gained 74 rush yards after contact in Week 6–the most in a game by a Bills RB since James Cook in Week 2 of 2023 (101).
Pretty, pretty, pretty good. Chuba Hubbard among all RBs since Andy Dalton took over in Week 3:
You bet! EPA+CPOE composite score is a good advanced metric to help demonstrate which QBs have been the most efficient and accurate on a per-dropback basis.
By this stat, nobody has been better than Caleb Williams over the past three weeks.
It's looking that way! The Bengals continue to feature both Zack Moss and Chase Brown in their run game, but the latter back has surged ahead when it comes to realized production: Brown joins Derrick Henry, D'Andre Swift, Kenneth Walker, Chuba Hubbard, and Alvin Kamara as the only RBs with 50-plus PPR points over the last three weeks.
Very. Deshaun Watson has taken a league-high 31 sacks this season. This puts him on pace for 87.8 over the course of 17 games. The NFL record is held by former Texans QB David Carr (76).
Pretty rate! Cowboys points per game over the past five seasons with Dak Prescott under center:
Abso-lutely. Bo Nix has racked up a whopping 255 rushing yards through his first seven games, which is only 11 fewer than Cam f*cking Newton had during his first seven career contests. Just a couple of all-time Auburn legends doing their thing.
In this case, yes.
Steelers WR George Pickens made headlines by calling Amon-Ra St. Brown a "slot merchant" this week. Note that the Sun God has played more snaps out wide (154) than in the slot this season (133). Since the beginning of last season, St. Brown has more TDs (8 vs. 5) and first downs (45 vs. 44) than Pickens when aligned out wide.
He's also ahead in yards per route run (2.93 vs. 2.21), a mark that trails only Tyreek Hill, Nico Collins, CeeDee Lamb, and A.J. Brown among 146 qualified pass-catchers.
Oh yeah, Jared Goff also has more receiving TDs than Pickens this season. There's also that.
Rather awesome. ESPN's Advanced Receiver Ratings dub George Kittle as the league's best TE this season. Tied for second? Tucker Kraft and Dallas Goedert.
What are they putting in the South Dakota State Gatorade coolers?
Yes. Stefon Diggs is being used as an underneath possession receiver more than at any other point in his career:
The answer is Joe Flacco when throwing under 20 yards downfield, but the deep ball completion rate and yards per attempt numbers might surprise you:
An absurd amount. Tank Bigsby has made quite the improvement this season:
Nope. The two lowest single-season average target depths in PFF's database (since 2006):
Getting there! Most yards per game by a rookie TE in NFL history:
You could say that. Justin Herbert's games with under 200 passing yards by year:
In terms of raw production: Awesome. Kyren Williams' average of 19.4 PPR points per game is the sixth-highest mark at the position through six weeks of action.
But in terms of per-touch efficiency? Not so great. Overall, only two RBs are averaging under four yards per touch this season (min. 50 touches): Zamir White … and Kyren Williams.
Horrific! Last season the Dolphins averaged an NFL-best 37.2 points per game during the first six weeks of the season. This year? An NFL-low 12 points per game. The -25.2 point differential is more than three times lower than the next-largest dropoff (Chargers, -7.2).
Legally, no. But otherwise? Yes. Overall, Justin Jefferson has averaged 134.1 yards in eight career games against the Lions. That's good for 1,073 yards in under half a season of work.
Sure did! Passing TDs thrown 20-plus yards downfield:
Eddie Lacy-level heavy: Alvin Kamara has a career-high 145 touches through six weeks. That puts him on pace for 352 across 17 games. His single-season high is 287 in 2021.
You could say that. Most receiving yards per game by a Giants receiver in the Super Bowl era (min. 4 games):
Overall, yes, although it hasn't made the biggest difference on the scoreboard. The Jets have scored the exact same amount of points through six weeks of 2024 as they did in 2023 (113). Aaron Rodgers' average of 6.4 yards per attempt also just barely clears Zach Wilson's career mark of 6.3.
Perhaps due to injury, but yes. Jalen Hurts' yards per carry (excluding QB sneaks):
Great question:
Weirdly specific question, but in terms of most career yards per attempt over the past 50 years (min. 500 attempts): Pretty much!
Sure does. Highest completion percentage over expected among all QBs with 300-plus dropbacks since 2022:
Really great! Most games with x passing TDs since Week 1 of last season (including playoffs) …
2+ passing TD:
3+ passing TD:
4+ passing TD:
Yup. Last week Calvin Ridley became just the 13th player with at least eight targets in a game and *zero* receptions since targets began being tracked back in 1992.
So far, so good! Austin Ekeler is currently averaging career-best marks in yards per carry (6.1) and yards per reception (13.2). His average of 8.6 yards per touch is the highest mark among 64 RBs with 25-plus combined carries and receptions this season.
