This article is part of our Hidden Stat Line series.
Here's a quick list of some of our Week 8 highlights, because writing a list takes less time than writing a real introduction:
- DK Metcalf with more snaps (and two TDs!)
- Devin Singletary up to 68% of snaps
- Courtland Sutton dominates, but not on the stat sheet
- Christian Kirk looking healthy
- Baker Mayfield lighting up the Patriots defense
- Minshew, the Creator
- Todd Gurley disappearing after his TD
- Danny Amendola gobbling up targets and yards... again
- Auden Tate: WR1 volume, WR3 production
- I lied about No. 5
- It's tacky to make everything in multiples of five or 10.
- All the lists below are in multiples of five or 10.
- Now we have a Baker's dozen.
