How this works
Windows end at the selected week: that week alone, the team’s last 3 games, or the season to date. Shares divide a player’s total by his team’s total over the team’s games in the window, so a missed game counts as zero (G shows games played out of team games). Team totals are summed from every player’s row for that game. Fantasy points are calculated from the stored stat lines in the format you pick (PPR by default), per game played in the multi-week windows.
Noise filter: a player is listed in a window only with 10+ offensive snaps per team game and at least one target. Δ Wk is the change in target share from the player’s previous team game; the up/down chips mark moves of 5 percentage points or more. Red zone means a play starting inside the opponent’s 20; goal line inside the 5.

Frequently asked questions
What is target share?
The percentage of his team’s pass targets that went to a player. Twenty percent or more is a featured receiver; 25% and up is elite.
What is air-yard share?
The player’s share of the team’s air yards: how far downfield the passes thrown his way travelled, completed or not. High air-yard share with low production often means positive regression is coming.
Why is a quarterback not on this board?
Quarterbacks are not targeted; see the snap counts board for them.
Why are some players missing?
Players need at least 10 offensive snaps per team game in the window to be listed, with at least one target.
