Next Gen Matchup Advantage: The wide receivers catching my attention

See how open Chris Olave, middle, is on this play? Here's why you can expect more of the same. David Jensen/Icon Sportswire

We've got a shiny new tool -- let's use it. All year, I've been dangling information from our new Receiver Tracking Metrics in this space, looking for little edges in fantasy (or betting!) based on a player's ability to get open, make the catch and generate YAC (yards after catch) relative to expectations -- all based on player-tracking stats from NFL Next Gen Stats.

Now, you can see for yourself! All four metrics -- Open Score, Catch Score, YAC Score and the summary statistic, and Overall Score -- are available on our partner site FiveThirtyEight for both this season and historically since 2017. They'll update there every week.
