What Are Left-Aligned WR Targets Allowed?
Left-aligned WR targets allowed counts how many passes a defense conceded to wide receivers lined up on the OFFENSE's left -- the defense's own right side of the field. About a third of starting outside corners travel with a receiver rather than sticking to a side of the field, but most defenses run enough side-based coverage rules that a real gap between left and right volume is common and worth reading. This is a volume number, so pair it with Left-Aligned Target Rate Allowed before drawing a conclusion -- a defense that faces a lot of overall attempts will concede left-side targets whether or not that side is genuinely a weakness.
