Pretty neat

What strikes me most is that we had five clear-cut top targets last year (those with >10% target percentage)…

…and we’re only losing one of those five (Bert Reed).

Rashad Dominated passing downs.

38.9% on passing downs?

Come on C Green that is freaking atrocious and will get you passed on the depth chart.

Also O’Leary’s several drops in limited playing time killed his numbers. (Though 80% on passing downs is somewhat redeeming.)

Regarding the targets and catches

Does it differentiate between drops and passes that might have been deflected, defended, or so poorly thrown that the receiver had no chance to make the catch?

“Targets = receptions plus incompletions targeting a given receiver. (NOTE: there is no target data for passes that were intercepted or for some throwaways. In the end, about 85-90 percent of passes have target data. I thought about adjusting for that in some way, but since it is the same for every team, I did not. Just keep that in mind.”
