Chiefs Need help with a stat: “wide receiver usage.”

Direckshun · 11-19-2022, 02:06 PM

This stat sounds interesting to me.

I heard Trevor Sikkema on a podcast discussing something called “wide receiver usage rate,” which is the % of times a player who is running a receiving route gets targeted by the QB.

He had said that Austin Ekeler leads the NFL, I believe, with 30% usage.

Do we know what these stats are for the Chiefs? I believe it’s a PFF stat.

My early guess is that McKinnon leads the team in usage rate. He gets targets on the regular and he only runs routes some of the time.

Among WRs and TEs, Kelce seems the most obvious person for #2. After that… Hardman? He gets manufactured touches and when healthy only plays like 50% of the snaps or something.

Anyway, if anybody had access to this stat, feel free to share.

According to the site I'm getting these numbers from

Ekeler is at 34.3%

Sounds like something else to worry about, I'm in.

Apparently Jamar Chase is getting targeted over 25% of the time he runs routes.
