Most fantasy owners favorite NFL stat is the target, as it shows the quarterback’s dedication to getting a player the ball. A high number of targets usually results in more catches, yards, and of course touchdowns.

The table to the right is a fantasy completion percentage breakdown of all wide receivers and tight ends over the first two weeks of the NFL season. I removed all players who made less than 4 catches to get more refined data.

If you click on the Comp. % category you will see there are a handful of sure-handed players who have caught everything that has been thrown their way.

Highest Completion % Target Rec Comp. % Jerricho Cotchery 8 8 100.0 Percy Harvin 8 8 100.0 Owen Daniels 10 9 90.0 Devin Hester 7 6 85.7 Julius Thomas 13 11 84.6 Martellus Bennett 18 15 83.3 Gary Barnidge 6 5 83.3 Cole Beasley 6 5 83.3 DeSean Jackson 11 9 81.8 Niles Paul 15 12 80.0 Julian Edelman 15 12 80.0

Seeing names like Percy Harvin, Julian Edelman, and even DeSean Jackson should be reassuring for fantasy owners. Jerricho Cotchery only has 78 yards after two weeks, but he is a clutch target for the Panthers.

Lowest Comp. % Target Rec Comp. % Mike Brown 9 3 33.3 Justin Hunter 14 5 35.7 Jordan Matthews 8 3 37.5 Jeremy Maclin 21 8 38.1 Denarius Moore 13 5 38.5 Allen Hurns 15 6 40.0 Torrey Smith 10 4 40.0 Jordan Cameron 5 2 40.0 Nate Washington 12 5 41.7 Eric Ebron 7 3 42.9 Robert Meachem 7 3 42.9 Victor Cruz 16 7 43.8 Coby Fleener 9 4 44.4 Michael Floyd 13 6 46.2 Jason Witten 13 6 46.2 Rob Gronkowski 17 8 47.1 Kelvin Benjamin 16 8 50.0 Demaryius Thomas 18 9 50.0 TY Hilton 22 11 50.0 Eddie Royal 16 8 50.0 Vincent Jackson 16 8 50.0 Larry Fitzgerald 14 7 50.0 Justin Brown 8 4 50.0 Dwayne Bowe 6 3 50.0 Mike Williams 6 3 50.0 Jarius Wright 6 3 50.0 Riley Cooper 10 5 50.0 Kenbrell Thompkins 10 5 50.0

The Lowest Completion percentage is filled with high profile players, and their lack of ability to haul in grabs is mainly why I created this article.

Justin Hunter was dubbed a boom or bust wide receiver as a big play down the field threat. With only 5 receptions on 14 targets, something has got to give. The same could be said about TY Hilton. Hilton is 5th in targets in the NFL after two weeks.

Yet hands down one of the more alarming stats, despite a touchdown in each of his first two games, is Jeremy Maclin. Nick Foles hasn’t been as sharp as he was in 2013, yet to blame him for the high ratio of missed targets to catches is not completely fair. If the Eagle combo can get on the same page, Maclin could be in for a huge season. His 142 yards and 2 touchdowns are quite impressive considering the Eagles first half problems.
