NFL's most targeted WRs by situation: Raiders' Davante Adams, Dolphins' Tyreek Hill dominate in the red zone (Making their home in the slot - Of the 63 receivers that qualified for this list, just seven were targeted on over 25% of their routes from the slot. Of those, just CeeDee Lamb and Amon-Ra St. Brown did so with 300 or more snaps from the slot.  Lamb earned PFF’s highest receiving grade from the slot (90.2) this past season, producing league-leading marks in receptions (69), yards (907) and touchdowns (eight). The Dallas Cowboys star brings first-class explosion to the slot, where he secured 26 receptions of 15-or-more yards, 10 more than any other player at the position in 2023.  The Detroit Lions inked St. Brown to a massive deal in large part due to the trust they place on him to win in the slot against all odds. St. Brown embodies the Detroit attitude, bringing a physicality to the slot that you might not expect based on his build. He secured the most contested catches (8) when lined up inside last season.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-most-targeted-wrs-by-situation-2024

PFF Running Back Rankings: Top 32 ahead of the 2024 NFL season (9. JAHMYR GIBBS, DETROIT LIONS - Gibbs stepped into the NFL with a big weight on his shoulders after the Lions drafted him with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he delivered with an excellent rookie season. His 74.5 grade ranked 25th among running backs, as he rushed for 945 yards and 10 touchdowns at an excellent 5.2 yards-per-carry clip.  Only Henry and McCaffrey totaled more rushes of 15-plus yards than Gibbs in 2023, and his 3.12 yards after contact per attempt tied for 16th among running backs. With 52 catches under his belt in his first year, too, Gibbs will remain a focal point of the Lions' offense. 23. DAVID MONTGOMERY, DETROIT LIONS - After two less efficient years in 2021 and 2022 with the Bears, Montgomery was back to his best with the Lions in 2023, carrying the ball 219 times for 1,015 yards and 13 touchdowns. His 13 touchdowns and 4.6 yards per carry were both career highs, and Montgomery earned an 80.0 grade for his efforts. The former Bear forged an excellent one-two punch with Jahmyr Gibbs and provided real relief between the tackles and as a goal-line back. Montgomery is just as shifty, too, averaging 3.05 yards after contact per attempt and forcing 48 missed tackles — the second-highest number of his career.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-running-back-rankings-top-32-2024-nfl-season
