What is a target in NFL receiving statistics?

A target records a pass intended for a receiver, whether caught or incomplete. Compare targets with receptions and receiving yards to separate passing-game involvement from production. These are recorded totals for the displayed period, not projections or a player’s share of team targets.

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.
