Scouting report
Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Jaylin Baker's strongest measure is touchdowns per game at 0.3, 199th of 485 (the average is 0.3). His weakest is yards per target at 4.4, 479th of 485 (the average is 8.2).
Season production
Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His receiving yards per game, 21, ranks 424th among 485 ranked wide receivers.
Against every wide receiver
Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of wide receiver he is. Among ranked wide receivers he sits, on average, in the 19th percentile for volume, 14th for efficiency and 54th for impact.
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, Jaylin Baker's best came in week 2 at New Hampshire and his quietest in week 4 at Ohio.
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. Jaylin Baker is 310th of 503 FCS wide receivers and 14th of 35 in the NEC. Next up nationally is Malik Redd of Wagner, 0.00 ahead on the index.
Wide receivers like him
Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Cameron Weir of North Dakota.
