in fantasyfootball •  6 years ago 

For all my PPR players, I have compiled a list of the top 15 leaders in targets last year.

2017 Target Leaders:

  1. Deandre Hopkins (174)
  2. Antonio Brown (162)
  3. Larry Fitzgerald (161)
  4. Jarvis Landry (161)
  5. Keenan Allen (159)
  6. Michael Thomas (149)
  7. Julio Jones (148)
  8. Adam Thielen (143)
  9. AJ Green (143)
  10. Demaryius Thomas (140)
  11. Mike Evans (136)
  12. Dez Bryant (132)
  13. Travis Kelce (122)
  14. Alshon Jeffry (120)
  15. Golden Tate (120)

When looking at the year to year outlooks for receivers (both WRs and TEs), one of the most important factors I look at is how many targets they see--- both on a weekly basis and year long basis. It's the stat that best shows you how involved a player is in his respective offense, as well as the rapport and trust a QB has in his receiver

The biggest flaw to this stat is that some targets are just throwaways by the QB and/or non catch-able passes that fly out of bounds. However this is still the stat that best reflects how involved a receiver is in his respective offense.
