As always, I found using the free tools I made as a side project: Target Sorter and Target Analyzer.
[*]If we relax that 10 target minimum to 9... DeSean Jackson leads the league with 9 accurate targets per game. (Point for Wentz). When does DJax come back again?
[*]Leaders in INACCURATE targets per game? (Min 10 targets)
[*]Leaders in accurate targets of 21+ air yards - five players tied for the lead with 5 each
[*]Marquise Brown is tied with Mike Evans for TOTAL targets of 21+ air yards (11), but sadly, only 3 of Brown's deep targets have been accurate throws.
[*]Leaders in accurate targets per game of 11+ air yards...
[*]Miles Sanders is the only RB with min 10 targets who has more air yards (56) than YAC (28). Unsurprisingly, he leads RB's in Median Target Depth at 5.5 - which is higher than Cooper Kupp's median target depth of 5.0
[*]I could probably post 5x as much as the above, but again... the day job calls.
- Greg Olsen's target share fell from 30.4% last week to a dismal 12.5% this week - did the Texans decide to take away Allen's favorite target, or was this simply because I started Olsen at the flex this week?
- Alshon Jeffery only had 3 catches on 9 targets, but... 5 of those targets were INaccurately thrown balls. Do we have a Jeffery problem or a Wentz problem?
- Of players with at least 10 total targets on the season...
Darren Waller is tied with Keenan Allen for 2nd place in ACCURATE targets per game, at 8.3
- Michael Thomas leads the league in Acc Tgts per game, at 8.5
- Cooper Kupp is 4th with 8.0 Acc Tgts per game.
- Austin Hooper is a well-utilized weapon. Not only is he 5th in Acc Tgt per gm at 7.0, but...
This week he had as many accurate targets (9) as short-catch-specialists Christian McCaffery and David Johnson
- But the median depth of Hooper's targets was a WR-like 9.0, as compared to -1.5 and 0.0 for CMac and DJ.
