5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 8

Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper Are Averaging 23.7 Fantasy Points Per Game

Michael Crabtree (11.9) and Amari Cooper (11.8) currently rank seventh and ninth, respectively, among all wide receivers in PPR fantasy points per game.

They are the only wide receiver duo in the top 10, and they are averaging at least 1.9 more points per game than any other set of teammates.

The pair has combined for 48.59% of their team's targets, 58.42% of the yards and 47.06% of the touchdowns this season. With 5 more targets and receptions, Cooper leads the way with 787 receiving yards, compared to Crabtree's 569. But Crabtree leads the team with six touchdowns to Cooper's two.

Only once in their eight games have both of them been held under 85 receiving yards, and one or both of them have scored in five games this season. They will have their toughest test yet in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos, who have not allowed any wide receivers since Week 1 to go over 85 receiving yards, and they have only given up two touchdowns to opposing wide receivers all season.
