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.

Fantasy Football Receiver Targets
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009Top Performers Time Frame
Monday, March 9th, 2009The “Top Performers” report is an excellent source of player stats and fantasy scores for your league, as discussed here on this blog last summer. Now we’ve added even more flexibility to this report to allow you to select the specific time frame of weeks that you want to display. There is a new “Start Week” and “End Week” selection list at the top of the report, compared to the previous choice of selecting a specific week, or year-to-date, or the past 3 or 6 weeks. So now you can fine tune your starting and ending week when viewing player scores and stats. It will still default to the year-to-date option by automatically selecting week 1 as the starting week and the current week as the ending week, so the basic functionality hasn’t changed. Some examples of ways that you can refine the report now:
- You can separate the first half of the season from the second half, and generate a report for each half as needed.
- You can view the past two or three weeks, or any other number of past weeks as needed.
- You can view just the regular season weeks 1 through 17 even if your league uses the NFL playoff weeks.
Hopefully the new time frame flexibility will help you with your player research for your upcoming draft as well! Watch for more changes and improvements with the various stat reports in the future.
