How this works

Season totals are summed from weekly coverage rows; completion % and passer rating are recomputed from the totals. “Est. cmp %” is empirical-Bayes shrunk toward the league corner average with a prior strength fitted on 2023–25, so a corner with 15 targets moves little from average. Corners are listed with 10+ targets; the side is the latest depth chart’s LCB, RCB or nickel label.

Frequently asked questions

How much do cornerback coverage stats mean?

Less than they look. In 2023–25, a corner’s yards per target allowed in odd weeks did not predict his even weeks (reliability 0.05), and it barely carried over year to year. Completion % allowed held up a little better (reliability 0.38, grade C), so our “estimated completion %” shrinks each corner toward the league average by how much data he has.

Where do these numbers come from?

Pro Football Reference charts the defender in coverage on each target; nflverse publishes it weekly, 1–3 days after games. Left, right and slot (nickel) sides come from the latest depth chart.

Is this shadow coverage?

No. We show each receiver’s likely matchup from alignment and the depth chart, not who actually covered whom on each play.
