Week 5
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is still first at 35.2% of the Seahawks' targets after eight for 102 yards against the 49ers, which makes 50 for the season. Puka Nacua had the week's most targets, 24 of the Rams' 54 for 138 yards against the Bills, and went from 48th to 23rd at 21.4%, level with Davante Adams. Malik Nabers went from 20th to seventh at 28.2% on 20 targets for 121 yards against the Commanders, and Amon-Ra St. Brown from seventh to second at 30.3% on 11 against the Cardinals. Garrett Wilson went from eighth to third on 11 targets against the Browns, and George Pickens from 29th to 20th on 13 for 130 yards against the Buccaneers. CeeDee Lamb went from second to 10th, 31.9% to 27.4%, on five targets against the Buccaneers, Carnell Tate from sixth to 13th on five against the Texans, and Michael Wilson from fifth to 12th. DeVonta Smith went from 15th to 35th without a target. Three receivers are at 30% or better, against four after Week 4, and 226 yards is now the line for the 50. Eight of last week's top ten are still in it, and with eight names in and eight out, the order below the top ten is still moving every week.
Week 4
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is still first at 36.5% of the Seahawks' targets, 42 of them, after six against the Chargers. CeeDee Lamb had the week's most targets, 21 against the Texans for 189 yards and 49% of the Cowboys' looks, and went from 16th to second at 31.9%. Tetairoa McMillan went from 27th to 12th on 16 targets for 192 yards against the Lions, and Tee Higgins from 24th to 16th on 16 against the Jaguars. Isaiah Likely appears at third after 12 targets against the Cardinals, and Carnell Tate enters at sixth. DeVonta Smith went from second to 15th, 33.3% to 25.5%, without a target against the Rams, and Parker Washington from fourth to 13th on three targets against the Bengals. Four receivers are at 30% or better, against five after Week 3, and 190 yards is now the line for the 50. Seven of last week's top ten are still in it, and with 11 names in and 11 out, four games is not yet enough for the order below the top five to settle.
Week 3
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is still first at 38 percent of the Seahawks' targets, 36 of them, after 14 more against the Commanders; his share went from 44 percent to 38 because a third game widened the denominator faster than his targets grew. DeVonta Smith went from sixth to second at 33 percent after eight targets against the Bears on Monday night, Chris Olave went from 12th to sixth on 13 targets against the Raiders, and Garrett Wilson went from 24th to seventh on 13 targets against the Lions. Justin Jefferson went from fourth to 14th, his share from 36 percent to 25, on two targets against the Buccaneers. Drake London enters at 11th off 194 yards on 10 targets Thursday against the Packers, and Michael Wilson appears in the top ten after 17 targets against the 49ers. Five receivers are at 30 percent or better, against six after Week 2, and 132 yards is now the line for the fifty. Six of last week's top ten are still in it, and at three games a two-target afternoon still moves a receiver ten places.
Week 2
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is first at 44 percent of the Seahawks' targets, 22 of them through two weeks, and Bijan Robinson, who led this board after Week 1 at 53 percent on 10 targets, is ninth at 28 percent on 14. Parker Washington is second at 36.7 percent and Trey McBride third at 36.5 percent. Six receivers are at 30 percent or better, against 11 after Week 1: the denominator doubled, which is why Zay Flowers, who has played once and still has his six targets, went from 22nd to 49th as his share went from 25 percent to 11. Davante Adams enters at eighth and CeeDee Lamb at tenth; 16 names are new and 16 are gone, among them Puka Nacua and Malik Nabers, seventh and eighth a week ago, because this board is the fifty leading receivers by yards and 86 yards is now the line. Five of last week's top ten are still in it, and a share needs a season before the denominator stops moving the order more than the receivers do.
