    In recent years, Fantasy analysis has become focused on more advanced metrics. Advanced stats seem to be especially prevalent when analyzing pass-catchers, as every route can be analyzed. Targets are far from the only valuable indicator at the WR position -- to name a few, air yards, red zone targets, and end zone targets are at the forefront of the evaluation process for most Fantasy players. As the Fantasy, sports betting, and daily Fantasy spaces have become more competitive, the use of advanced analytics has only increased.

    Fantasy expert Jacob Gibbs believes that yard per route run data belongs at the top of the list when it comes to any discussion about the most important metrics for WR evaluation. Gibbs uses a data-driven approach that has helped him consistently provide accurate rankings at every position. He has proven to be one of the nation's most accurate Fantasy rankers in recent years -- posting the eighth-most accurate results over the past three seasons, according to Fantasy Pros.

    Through the lens of this overlooked metric, Gibbs has highlighted 10 players who appear to be on the precipice of a breakout in 2023.

    So which players do the yards per route run data suggest are undervalued in Fantasy drafts? And which players does Gibbs expect a big step forward from in 2023? ... Join SportsLine here to see the complete data and which players Gibbs is focused on in 2023 drafts!
