Receivers: the playoff slate

Weeks 15–17, 2020 last season's final profiles, while this season has fewer than three games

QB RB WR TE

Each offense's three opponents in weeks 15 to 17 and the average of what those defenses have allowed a game to receivers this season, the softest slate first. What a defense has allowed is history. Across the whole league it has said little about the next game; at the two ends it has said more, and each block below gives that record.

1	Lions	@ 166	199	170	178.4
2	Buccaneers	@ 165	@ 190	165	173.2
3	Falcons	199	@ 121	@ 199	172.7

Yards and targets allowed are from each defense's final games this season. Every rank is over usual: what the defense allowed each game against that offense's own average in its other games, 1st the biggest margin, over each row's games. Shares are of the team's carries or targets over the player's last four games. Data from nflverse (CC BY 4.0). The definitions and the record are on How we count.
