Highest-graded receivers by route type: A.J. Brown dominated on slant routes, Deebo Samuel continues to shine on screen passes - PFF
Slant routes (minimum 10 targets). 1) A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles: 97.0. 2) Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns: 93.7. 3) Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills: 93.2. A.J. Brown has the combination of size (6-foot-1 and 226 pounds) and speed that allows him to slip through tackles with apparent ease. The Eagles used this to their advantage by featuring Brown on slant routes last year, and he was a nightmare to cover. The fourth-year wideout saw 34 targets on slants last year — 10 more than any other player at the position — and he caught 26 of them for a position-leading 386 yards.
