One of the close stats I keep my eyes on when accessing wide receiver and tight ends is targets. How many times is their quarterback looking their way? Remember, in fantasy opportunities are everything. I normally look at the weekly numbers, but three weeks in I wanted to look at the top players on the list year-to-date:

Randy Moss (NE) - 40 targets/142 total passes (28%)

Steve Smith (CAR) - 35 targets/108 total passes (32%)

Nate Burleson (SEA) - 33 targets/121 total passes (27%)

Santonio Holmes (PIT) - 30 targets/109 total passes (28%)

Andre Johnson (HOU) - 30 targets/107 total passes (28%)

Reggie Wayne (IND) - 29 targets/96 total passes (30%)

Larry Fitzgerald (ARI) - 29 targets/130 total passes (22%)
