Highest grade this season vs man coverage Garrett Wilson 93.7 Mike Evans 92.4 Tee Higgins Via @PFF on X

What happened: Mike Evans ranks second at 92.4, with Tee Higgins third at 92.1. Brock Bowers sits fourth at 91.8 and DeVonta Smith fifth at 91.5.

Why it matters: Man-coverage grades isolate wins against tight coverage, the snaps that decide third downs and red-zone possessions. Five qualifiers above 91.5 marks a tight top tier in the 2026 regular season.

By the numbers: Wilson 93.7; Evans 92.4; Higgins 92.1; Bowers 91.8; Smith 91.5. Gap from first to fifth is 2.2 points; second to fifth is 0.9 points.

What to watch: Upcoming games against man-heavy defenses will test whether the order holds.
