This week's Beyond the Stats takes a look at which players are performing well on a consistent basis. Stats don't tell the whole story, but they can definitely paint a picture and provide some clarity on which players are successful and how they compare to other players at the same position. For Example, Case Keenum and Josh McCown have more 3-touchdown passing games than Drew Brees this season. Or Cam Newton has six 40-yard rushing games, where the next closest is Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson with only three games. Travis Kelce has four 100-yard games, while the next closest tight end is Jared Cook with two 100-yard games. Nobody else has more than two.
