Most Targets Per Game In 2016: Wide Receivers

Target The Targets

As a wide receiver, talent can only take you so far. Just ask DeAndre Hopkins. You need to have a quarterback that is willing to throw in your direction enough to provide you opportunity.

When planning your draft strategy it’s crucial to be aware that your player is getting opportunity. Looking at targets per game can help you build a true ROI(Return on Investment) for players like Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins. This list is all of the wide receivers that had at least 5 or more targets per game last year.

Keep in mind, this list is targets per game they actually played in. This is the true scope of how many times these wide receivers are being thrown to per game.
