How this works

Coverage is charted by PFR per target and published by nflverse 1–3 days after games. Estimates shrink toward the league corner average; in our 2023–25 tests yards per target allowed did not hold up from one half of a season to the other, so read it as what happened, not what will.

Charting data: FTN Data via nflverse, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0; our derived charting figures are shared under the same licence. Coverage allowed by defender: Pro Football Reference via nflverse. Coverage type (man/zone, shells): nflverse participation data. Play-by-play: nflverse.
