How this ranking is measured

These 25 are drawn from 41 NFL players ranked in the 2026 regular season. A minimum of 72 routes is applied. Right-aligned target rate allowed is the percentage of routes a defender covered on the OFFENSE's right -- the defense's left side of the field -- that ended with a pass thrown his way. Figures are as of October 30, 2026 & are recalculated on StatRankings after each game's play-by-play is processed.
