Welcome back to the weekly Targets Per Route Run Report. It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Championship Week. And also Christmas, if you are into that sort of thing. With games running from Thursday to Monday, managers have a lot of timely decisions to make, so let’s jump in and see who has earned the right to start for a champion.

Quick refresher: TPRR = targets ÷ routes run. It’s an on-field efficiency signal that often leads production by a week or two. Throughout this series, if you see a percentage after a player’s name, that is his TPRR unless otherwise indicated.

As a general guideline, anything below ~20% is risky; 25–30% is excellent, and anything above 30% is elite territory.

Week 16 TPRR Leaders

Week 16 TPRR

Data: pff.com

Looking to Week 17

  • This week’s list is peppered with the usual suspects, and you don’t need me to tell you the benefits of starting Puka Nacua in your championships. Therefore, we won’t spend time on anyone who is started in the overwhelming majority of leagues.
  • Mike Evans, aka Him, topped the list in Week 16, and he’s posted back-to-back weeks of a TPRR over 34%. For the 44% of teams not starting Evans yet, he’s back. Emeka Egbuka (13% TPRR) has had a poor run of results in recent weeks and is finding volume hard to come by in a suddenly crowded Tampa Bay offense with Chris Godwin (23% TPRR) back in the mix.
  • There’s something about those seventh-round draft picks that makes me want to root for them. I love Konata Mumpfield, who has a chance to be a relevant piece in the Rams offense in Week 17 with Davante Adams likely to miss another game. Mumpfield’s other blip on the radar came back in Weeks 6 and 7, as he took advantage of his opportunity when Puka was sidelined. He’s definitely a desperation play for a title game, but he should be on the field and earning targets. That’s a good recipe in this Rams offense.
  • Mack Hollins and Stefon Diggs sit back-to-back in the Week 16 TPRR rankings, with both earning a target for every four routes run. Despite TreVeyon Henderson‘s likely upcoming absence, the Patriots should continue to lean heavily on the run against the Jets. That being said, this is a division game, and the Pats are in the hunt for the top seed, so anything could happen. Diggs saw 11 targets in his Week 11 matchup against the Jets, so he comes in with his usual upside.  I’m not brave enough to trot out Hollins, but Diggs is in my lineup if I’m short on receiver.

That’s it for me. Best of luck to all of you champs-to-be, and thanks to all who joined the TPRR report in 2025, whether it was for a week or the whole season. Merry Christmas!
