What happened: Xavier Hutchinson has 6 catches on 14 targets and D.K. Metcalf has 8 on 18. Jameson Williams sits at 6-of-12 and Ted Hurst at 5-of-10.

Why it matters: Catch rate separates target volume from actual production for regular receivers. Continued low conversion shrinks the usable route tree and shifts targets toward higher-percentage options.

By the numbers: Terry McLaurin 4/13, 30.8%; Xavier Hutchinson 6/14, 42.9%; D.K. Metcalf 8/18, 44.4%; Jameson Williams 6/12, 50.0%; Ted Hurst 5/10, 50.0% (min. 10 targets).

What to watch: Watch target distribution and third-down usage for McLaurin and Hutchinson in Week 3.
