Pass-snap share
Pass-snap share is the percentage of his team's dropbacks a player was on the field for. Tre Tucker of the Raiders led 2025 receivers at 96.5% across 579 pass snaps.
Take the plays where the quarterback dropped back, count the ones a player was on the field for, divide by his team's dropbacks. It is the passing-game half of snap share. It is not routes run — some of those snaps he spent blocking.
Why it matters
This is the denominator behind every per-opportunity receiving question: a receiver on the field for 96.5% of dropbacks has a structurally different job from one at half that, whatever their target counts say. Dividing receiving yards into it gives yards per pass snap — Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seahawks led at 3.70 on 485 pass snaps, and among backs Dylan Sampson of the Browns led at 1.73. Backs and tight ends carry blocking snaps in that denominator, so their rate reads lower than their receiving skill.
The counter
Blocking snaps sit in the denominator, which understates backs and tight ends against receivers.
