Now the folks at BSPN are pretty good when it comes to stats.

They’ve got rooms full of young gremlins charting everything one could imagine. Many of these gremlins are naughty interns, but that’s another story.

Pat “Vacation Man” Yasinskas, of BSPN, their resident NFC South reporter, tapped the stats gremlins to get their data on wide receiver production in the division.

Guess who’s bringing up the rear. That would be Michael Clayton.

This comes from ESPN’s Stats & Information. Out of 109 receivers charted by our stats people, Meachem ranks No. 6 in the league with a 76.3 catch percentage. What that means is Meachem has been targeted 38 times and has 29 catches. He also doesn’t have a drop this season.

That’s by far the best catch percentage in the NFC South. Here’s a list of the NFC South receivers on that list:

Hands Team

Receiver	Targets	Catches	Drops	Percentage
Robert Meachem	38	29	0	76.3
Devery Henderson	59	40	3	67.8
Marques Colston	80	50	5	62.5
Michael Jenkins	65	40	4	61.5
Muhsin Muhammad	64	38	2	59.4
Maurice Stovall	33	18	0	54.5
Roddy White	124	65	4	52.4
Sammie Stroughter	52	27	2	51.9
Steve Smith	100	49	4	49.0
Dwayne Jarrett	25	12	0	48.0
Antonio Bryant	58	27	5	46.6
Michael Clayton	43	14	4	32.6

A news lowlight during a quiet Wednesday at One Buc Place yesterday was Clayton telling the media he’s hopeful about returning from his knee injury on Sunday against the New York Jets.

Please, Michael, take your time. We’ll be OK without you.
