What Are Perimeter WR Receptions Allowed?
Perimeter WR receptions allowed counts the catches a defense conceded to wide receivers lined up outside. Boundary throws are contested more often than slot throws, so completion rates here are lower for every defense, and the teams that suppress this number are usually the ones with a corner who can play press without safety help. Compare defenses to each other on this board rather than against their own slot figures -- the two alignments are different jobs and the league-wide baselines are not the same.
