The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 10 games, Onterrio Smith Jr.'s best came in week 2 at Fresno State and his quietest in week 1 against Mississippi Valley State.
When it matters
Why it matters. Plenty of players produce in easy situations; the ones who keep it up on third down and against good teams are the ones coaches trust.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.
National and conference
Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Onterrio Smith Jr. is 340th of 485 FBS wide receivers and 26th of 48 in the Mid-American. Next up nationally is Ricky Johnson of Utah, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Wide receivers like him
