Share of the team's passes: wide receivers ranked

The portion of his team's pass attempts that were thrown to him, in the games he was targeted. It shows whether he is the focus of the offense.

Why the box score misses it: Targets and receptions do not say how big the offense's passing game was.

Best so far: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA), 33%. A typical wide receiver is 16%. Players need at least 12 targets to qualify, so nobody is ranked on a handful of plays.

How to read this table

The number on the left is the league rank among wide receivers, 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.
