Who led the NFL in target share in 2025?

Target share is the percentage of his team's total targets that one pass catcher absorbs. It is the most durable thing to know about a receiver, because volume survives bad weeks and bad quarterback play in a way that yardage does not. A receiver at thirty percent is being schemed to; a receiver at fifteen is taking what the defense leaves.
