OVERVIEW
Pass Targets to RB - 18%
Pass Targets to WR - 69%
Pass Targets to TE - 13%
Top 3 Red-Zone Touches: Ward (49), Jacobs (44), Boss (20)
-
Besides Ward, only 33 targets were by running backs with Madison Hedgecock leading with 15.
-
Steve Smith was targeted at least 3 times in every game of the year.
-
In the last six games, Hixon led the team in targets with a min. eight in each.
-
Kevin Boss had 86% of the total tight end targets.
-
60% of red zone touches were to running backs, 28% to wideouts and 12% to tight ends.
-
84% of running back red zone touches were to Ward or Jacobs and with Ward gone, look for Jacobs to be even more valuable this season.
-
Hixon led the Giants in targets from week 12-17 but only had 2 red zone targets during that same span.
-
Smith had 12 red zone touches in the first 9 weeks and 3 in the final 7 weeks
