NFL Target Share Leaders 2025

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR, SEA) led the NFL in target share in 2025 at 35.8%. 392 players with 6+ games qualified.

Target share is the slice of a team's passing targets that went to one player. It travels better than raw catches because it holds up when a team throws more or less than usual, which is why it is the first number to check when a receiver's role changes.
