So, Football Outsiders do a quick run down of the best and worst players according to their stats each week. They're the best of the advanced stats out there, in my opinion, and do a pretty respectable job of adjusting for opposition. In past years I've tended to find our players by running up from the worst to best, finding our guys in the 20s somewhere. This week?

1. Blake Bortles
Bortles definitely picked his spots against Houston. Only eight of his passes traveled more than 6 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. But he made those plays count, with six completions and a DPI totaling 223 yards and two touchdowns. He also got a lot of help from his receivers, with a league-high 9.6 yards after the catch per completion this week.

And those receivers?

2. Keelan Cole
Only four of Cole's receptions produced first downs, but those four plays came on gains of 31, 42, and 73 yards, plus a 9-yard touchdown.

3. Jaydon Mickens
Mickens came into this game with one career catch for 11 yards. He had 5- and 14-yard touchdowns against Houston, plus a gain of 41, and a 13-yard DPI to convert a third-and-11. Not bad for a guy who was sleeping in his car earlier this year.

For the record, Cole was just one point behind the number one WR/TE (Rob Gronkowski).

Other players of note:
24. T J Yates
Yates gained 89 DYAR due to opponent adjustments, most of any quarterback this week. With 6 minutes and change left in the third quarter, he completed a pass for a 9-yard gain on third-and-4. That would be his last completion of the day. From that point forward, he went 0-for-8 with two sacks. On third downs, he went 5-of-11 for 77 yards with three conversions, four sacks, one fumble, and one interception. On throws to his backs and tight ends, he went 3-of-9 for 4 yards. No, that is not a typo.

33. Blaine Gabbert
Gabbert gained 54 DYAR due to opponent adjustments ... and still finished in last place. On five separate drives in the red zone, he went 1-of-8 for 9 yards with no touchdowns, one interception, and two sacks. He had four plays with 1 or 2 yards to go for a first down, and only converted one of them, going 1-of-3 for 8 yards, plus an aborted snap.

Cole almost scored another TD but got tackled at like the 2 yard line.
