Pass receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is one of those players who could allow a team to rack up more wins in the next campaign, unlike what they did the previous season.
According to the NFL Network and its analytics, if he joins the New York Giants, the 24-year-old could put them in a 1.11 extra win.
This is explained by the fact that the quarterbacks of the New York formation maintained a passer rating of 82.3 when targeting a receiver who lined up in the “slot”, that is to say. say between the wide receiver and the offensive line, which turns out to be the second worst score among the league’s 32 teams.
For his part, Smith-Schuster took a position there during 75% of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive tries in 2020. He caught eight of his nine touchdown passes when he took his place there.
Aaron Jones, the biggest potential to make a change
Still according to the statistics of the American network, Aaron Jones is the one who could have the biggest positive impact on his next team, if he decides to sign an agreement with the New York Jets.
The running back would allow the Jets to get 1.48 more wins. Last season Jones racked up 167 more yards than expected when he was running an indoors run, the third-highest total in the league. For their part, the Jets had the third worst yardage per reach average on the Goodell home circuit in the same situation.
Other signatures that would potentially pay off? If quarterback fighter Bud Dupree and the Las Vegas Raiders join forces, the Nevada side could see a 1.24 win increase, according to statistics. For their part, the Eagles would benefit greatly from a wide receiver like Kenny Golladay, who would also give the Pennsylvania team an additional 1.24 wins.
