Receivers: the playoff slate

Weeks 15–17, 2024 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.

2	49ers	168	@ 157	181	168.6
3	Falcons	@ 146	172	@ 186	167.8

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.
