For the first time this year, we have a non-WR take the top spot of the TASER rankings. Charles Clay has gotten a lot of targets this year – his mark of 60 ranks eighth among TEs on the year and only 22 behind top-targeted TE Gronk – but very little in the red zone. In fact, Clay ranks 65th among TEs (tied with a bunch of people) with just one single red zone target (which he turned into a touchdown). This is certainly affected by the Bills offense, but to get 60 non-red zone targets and then only one in the red zone is way unsustainable, especially since TEs are such big, nice targets in that area!
Amari Cooper is still up on the list but slowly going down. I’ve written extensively on him this year, so I won’t add more words; in general, the dude is a beast and will see many red zone targets in his career. Marques Colston has risen up the rankings in recent weeks and is now at #3. He isn’t see the huge volume of targets as some of these other top guys and this is largely a function of Colston getting a steady dose of targets outside of the red zone and then Brees looking to other guys like Cooks, Ingram, or Watson once he’s in the red zone.
Sammy Watkins is a peculiar case – he’s a number-one WR that hasn’t gotten a single red zone target in 2015. He’s gotten more targets of late – he had seven on Thursday night (although he turned them into only three receptions and 14 yards) bringing his yearly total to 33. The Bills have invested too much money into Watkins to ignore him, so I’d expect this to regress. However, with two Bills in the top 10, the question will be, who gets the regression first?
Here’s the updated table. Have fun and good luck in Week 11!
