WR Usain Bolt: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4785142

Previous thread I can't reply in since it's >60 days old. But a lot has happened since then including 3 seasons of leading WL in WR receiving yards.
https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=5325428

I figure coming off a 9 catch, 324 yard, 3 TD game in WL which ended in this overtime TD to get the win, it's as good of a time as any to bring back this important conversation. OT TD: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=3123492&pbp_id=740803


CAREER THUS FAR:

Before he met his soulmate OC:
S92: Perhaps underutilized by his former OC, 13 catches for 305 yards, half of which came vs a CPU team...

Career on the Stillwater Woodpeckers:
S93: Led EPL in blowout adjusted Receiving Yards (1563), Receiving TD's (24) and had 123 catches.

S94: Won EPL oMVP (First WR to do so in awhile in GLB history in Natty Pro+ I think). Led WPL in Receivng Yards (2331), and Receiving TD's (26). But most importantly he led the Woodpeckers to three competitive playoff victories, topping 115 yards in all 3 playoff games over the Miami Red Hawks, WLE Odyssey, and Stalingrad, helping to get his team a WL promotion.

S95: In World League, had 69 catches for 1323 yards and 11 TD's. That's the 2nd most receiving yards (most by a WR). 7.79 yards per target is still pretty good, but definitely the low if his career, still leading a struggling team and struggling offense that went winless in an unfortunate season.

Career on Tyrrhenian Sea Wasps
S96: 47 catches for 1087 yards and 10 TD's. Was 2nd in WL in TD's, and led WR's in receiving yards. Also had a much healthier 9.1 yards per target as a star receiver on the #1 WL offense (41.8 PPG compared to #2 at 32 PPG).

S97: Through the first 11 games, a bit of a rampage. 50 catches for 1317 yards and 8 TD's, currently leading WL all receiving categories, on top of having a godlike 14.97 yards/target and currently the favorite to win offensive MVP, leading receiving on an 8-3 team with the #1 offense in WL (46.9 ppg, compared to #2 at 29 PPG)

======

RECAPPING BOLT'S WL CAREER THUS FAR:
43 games
377 Targets (8.8 targets/game)
166 Catches (3.9 catches/game)
3727.5 Yards (86.7 yards/game)
29 TD's (0.7 TD's/game)
And perhaps his best stat: 9.89 yards per target in WL.

Surely is a good dot but throwing most of your attempts to him plays a big part. I remember two specific games against Odyssey secondary and wasn't that great.

EDIT: This season is excellent but don't know how many targets per game has compared to other receivers

I mean, I'd hazard to say there aren't any other WR's in WL that could average as many yards per target over any volume of targets. It's not like people getting targeted more magically makes them better.

Anyhow...
This season he has 88 targets on 412 attempts which is a reasonable 21% target rate, the 2nd highest on TSW.
Last season he had 119 targets on 636 attempts, which is an 18.7% target rate, 3rd highest on TSW

For reference in WL there are only 4 teams with >7.0 yards per attempt (8.3 due to Bolt, 7.7, 7.6, 7.5)
https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team_stats.pl?league_id=280&conference_id=0

The Woodpeckers, bless their heart, did not have the same level of talent in a lot of spots, so my passing strategy was a lot more "spray and pray with Bolt". Whereas on TSW with the skill of all surrounding dots, Bolt is able to excel in a role where he isn't one of the only sources of offense.

This thread was more fun when Red and others trolled me that I was wrong about Bolt being GLB's WR1. Now that Bolt is so irrefutably amazing, nothing to talk about really.

I suppose his greatness wasn't present in that game, only 8 plays.
