Alright, here's your pointless curiosity for the day. When a pass is thrown to one receiver, it bounces off of him, and is then caught by a different receiver who was not particularly close to to the intended receiver (see: Jayden Reed's TD for the Packers on Sunday) ... does that target go to the intended receiver, or to the guy that caught the ball?
- Common sense says the target goes to the intended receiver. If you want to know who was "targeted", that is your man.
- But it also seems statistically weird to think of a stat line showing more receptions than targets, which makes me think the target might actually go, nominally, to the receiver who actually caught the ball.
Not getting any results from searching the internet. Anybody know?
