Since targets have become a stat, fantasy junkies have fallen in love with it, including us! But just because your favorite WR gets thrown to 12 times each week, that does not guarantee anything! That is why we calculated their Catch % for you!

Running Back Targets Leaders
If Darren McFadden gets 18 targets a game, he is pretty much a lock for the top fantasy RB this year in PPR leagues.
Ray Rice owners, dont panic with the 4 targets, the Ravens destoryed the Bengals and he got plenty of rest on the sideline. Be grateful he can score twice on such limited touches!
Wide Receiver Targets Leaders
This list is pretty much exactly what we all thought it would be, except for Kevin Ogletree but he just might be the best addition to any fantasy football team this year!
Tight End Targets Leaders
Owners who took a chance on Kyle Rudolph were paid back and will be all season long, but more so in PPR leagues. Also, Dennis Pitta is on this list and Ed Dickson is not. I am not sure what to make of that yet, but with the way the Ravens manhandled the Bengals, it is hard to judge anything.
