Target share

The percentage of a team's passing targets that go to one player.

Target share is the percentage of a team's throws aimed at one player. It is the cleanest read on how involved a receiver actually is, because it strips out how often the team throws at all.

A receiver with a large share on a low-volume offense can out-produce a small share on a pass-happy one, and the reverse is just as true.
