JSN's season-opening 8-122-1 boom was built on his usual world-class route-running ability and some electric YAC. Only Christian Watson (+51) had more YAC above expected on a single play than JSN (+35)

JSN's +35 YAC above expected leads WR2 ranking despite Darnold absence.

JSN ranked WR2 for Week 2 at Arizona. His Week 1 boom (8-122-1) was built on world-class route-running and elite yards-after-catch production; only Christian Watson (+51) had more YAC above expected on a single play than JSN's +35. The absence of Sam Darnold is not a concern given his underlying efficiency metrics.
