Therein lies the deceptiveness of statistics. Most of those marks would be uncontested receives from Fletcher, and a good portion of those possies would be horizontal chip passes or handballs to a bloke under pressure.

I'm usually a fan of stats, but those statistics are useless.

Yep. And the same thing can be said for Stanton. He gets a heap of the ball without having any penetration in his disposal or carry.
