Most targets without a drop this season Trey McBride 61 Michael Wilson 54 Puka Nacua 52 B Via @PFF on X

What happened: PFF credited Michael Wilson with 54 and Puka Nacua with 52 targets without a drop in the 2026 regular season. Brock Bowers followed at 40, with DeVonta Smith and Ja'Marr Chase at 38.

Why it matters: Sure hands on that volume keep drives alive and shape late-game trust. The same Trey McBride who leads the NFL in short targets tops this reliability list.

By the numbers: Trey McBride 61; Michael Wilson 54; Puka Nacua 52; Brock Bowers 40; DeVonta Smith 38; Ja'Marr Chase 38 — all targets without a drop this season.

What to watch: Week 7 tests whether the leaders protect zero-drop records.
