Smith's 29% target rate when Brown off field matches elite WR1 company.

A.J. Brown had at least a 28% target share in every one of his four seasons in Philadelphia, and those targets have to go somewhere; Smith is the only wide receiver in the NFL to average at least 8.5 yards per target in each of the past five seasons, and when Brown has been off the field since 2023, Smith has been targeted on 29% of his routes—a neighborhood that includes only Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Rashee Rice, and Ja'Marr Chase.
