Fantasy Football Receiver Targets

We’ve recently added a new stats columns to the “Top Performers/Player Stats” report in your fantasy football league.  Now as part of the Top Receivers report, you’ll see “Targets” as a column, such as this example from our sample league.  The column is labeled “Tgt” and as always you can click on the column header to sort by that stats.  So what is the target stat all about?  It’s the number of times a player was the intended receiver on a passing play.  It can be helpful to get a feel for which receivers (or tight ends or running backs) were most active in the passing game.  Even a player only had a couple of receptions, he may have had two or three times as many targets, which could point to some potential if/when they can turn those targets into catches.  Just another stat to help you make better lineup decisions.  Enjoy!  Note that you’ll also see this column now on the Player Profile page, such as this example.
