Surprises Among Your Target Leaders Through Week 7

Four players have averaged 10 targets per game: Wes Welker, Brandon Marshall, Aaron Hernandez and Demaryius Thomas, though Thomas has appeared in only one game.

Darren Sproles sits alone in eighth place among the most-targeted receivers in 2011 with 59. Teammate Jimmy Graham is fourth with 66.

Seven of the top 24 most-targeted players are tight ends and running backs, including Kellen Winslow, Brandon Pettigrew, Jason Witten and future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez. Matt Forte is the second running back on the list.

Talk about efficiency! Greg Jennings has caught 72.4% (42-of-58) of the passes thrown to him by Aaron Rodgers.

Jabar Gaffney has been targeted as often as Santana Moss in Washington (43 times).

Visanthe Shiancoe is the most-targeted Minnesota receiver with 39.

Austin Collie has caught only 15 of the 40 passes thrown to him this season.
