5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 8

Will Fuller's 1.51 Reception NEP per Target Is Best Among WRs with 20+ Targets

Since returning from a broken collarbone, Will Fuller has caught 7 touchdown passes in four games. The only other player with that many touchdown receptions all season is his own teammate, DeAndre Hopkins, who has reeled in 7 touchdown receptions in seven games.

Fuller has caught at least 1 touchdown pass in each of his appearances this season, with 2 touchdown receptions in three of those. With just 13 total catches this year, over half of Fuller's receptions have resulted in a touchdown. That insane scoring streak joins him with Mike Sellers in 2005 as the only players since at least 1992 with 7 more touchdown receptions on less than 25 targets.

With an average of 1.75 touchdown receptions per game, Fuller is currently on pace for 22.75 receiving touchdowns in 13 games this season. That would put him on an elite list with Randy Moss and Jerry Rice as the only players with at least 20 touchdown receptions in a single season.

Obviously that would be a tough pace to maintain, but our models do project Fuller to haul in 4.06 more touchdown receptions over the remainder of this season, which would match the Houston Texans franchise record of 11 set by Hopkins back in 2015.
