96: elite creator

One number for how well Smith-Njigba has actually played lately, not a talent rating. 70% is the skill profile, weighted towards efficiency; the rest is how steady his games are and whether he still produces against the better defences. Ranked against every qualified wide receiver; 99 is the best. Over the last three seasons he scores 89 (#21 of 121).

This week's lines against his last 17

Each bar is a game; green cleared the line. "Market says" is the bookmaker's price with the margin taken out. Our own prop model is switched off until it passes a public audit, so this is history and the market, not a tip.

The read
  1. Denver are top ten against short, intermediate and deep throws over their last 17 games (8th, 8th, 8th). There's no obvious soft spot for Smith-Njigba to lean on.
  2. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.
