We often look at efficiency numbers for wide receivers that explore how effective they are after the ball comes their way. Drawing targets is a skill in itself, though. To be targeted at a high rate, a receiver must consistently separate from their defender and earn the trust of his quarterback by showing him that he can come down with the pass even if the separation isn’t there.
These were the players who excelled in those areas, drawing targets on the highest percentage of their routes in 2019.
Note: The minimum route threshold used was 25% of the maximum routes run in the group being examined.
