Trey McBride leads among the listed players with 42 receptions.

What is the difference between receptions and targets?

A reception is a completed catch recorded for the receiver. A target is a pass intended for that receiver, whether caught or incomplete. Receptions measure completed opportunities; compare them with targets and receiving yards. Catch totals alone do not show the difficulty or distance of those passes.

Equal values share a rank. INT in passing means interceptions thrown; defensive interceptions are a separate category. Sacks taken or allowed are separate from defensive sacks. Yardage columns total the supplied season/week window unless their label specifies a rate. — = not supplied.
