NFL Catch Rate Leaders 2025

Tyjae Spears (RB, TEN) led the NFL in catch rate in 2025 at 90.0%. 155 players with 40+ targets qualified.

Catch rate is receptions divided by targets. On its own it flatters short-area receivers, so it is worth reading beside average depth of target: a high catch rate on a high aDOT is the genuinely rare combination.
