Malike Nabers Best in the NFL at Getting Open

Per our friends at ESPN advanced analytics.

I need Jayden Daniels to come back to earth...

...so I can win my futures bet on Nabers as Offensive Rookie of the Year. Given the beating each of them are taking, it may come down to which of them lasts the season.

I don't know how that can be accurate

He's off to a great start as a rookie but I don't think he's any better at this stage then say Tyreek Hill or Chase at getting open.
I'd pump the brakes on that at this point.

You don't believe that, but ESPN Advanced Analytics does.

Wonder what's driving this?

Nabers is 62nd in YPC, so he's not running a lot of medium and long patterns. So, maybe we're seeing a lot more zone coverage?

He actually has the most number of routes ran against man coverage in the league.
