Yards allowed per target: linebackers ranked
The yards the receiver he is covering gets each time he is targeted. Fewer is better.
Why the box score misses it: Coverage is not in the box score.
Best so far: Nate Landman (LAR), 3.2. A typical linebacker is 7.4. Players need at least 10 tackle chances to qualify, so nobody is ranked on a handful of plays. Lower is better.

How to read this table
- The number on the left is the league rank among linebackers, even when the list is filtered to one team.
- “Against the league” draws each player on the same strip: the ends are the 10th-best and 90th-best player, the shaded stretch is the middle half, and the tick is the median. Right is always better.
- “Lately” is the change in grade between a player's last 2 games and the games before them. The tag says whether the change is bigger than what a few plays could cause.
- Tick “Show the box score” to put the traditional totals next to the advanced number and sort by either.
