Tied players share a rank, so a cut can hold one or two more players than its number.

How this is counted

Data

Weekly player statistics for every regular season from 1999 to 2025. Playoff games aren't included. Statistics from nflverse (nflverse-data), CC BY 4.0.

Scoring and ranks

LMD's scoring table, the same one the weekly rankings use. Players are ranked against their own position only, and ties share a place.

Not included

Kickers and defenses. Kick and punt return touchdowns aren't scored.

Where the numbers come from

Every answer is counted by the same query engine behind LMD's analysis of top-12 WR weeks. Nothing on this page is estimated or projected.
