Highest offensive grade among rookie WR this preseason (min 5 targets) De'Zhaun Stribling 90.0 J. Michael St Via @PFF on X

What happened: PFF applied a five-target minimum to the preseason comparison. J. Michael Sturdivant placed second at 85.8, ahead of Camden Brown (85.4), Ja'Mori Maclin (84.6) and Jordan Hudson (80.0).

Why it matters: The grade adds another strong marker for De'Zhaun Stribling ahead of final roster and role decisions. Regular-season target shares will provide a tougher measure of whether that preseason efficiency holds.

By the numbers: The five grades average 85.2, with a median of 85.4 and a 10.0-point gap between first and fifth. Just 5.4 points separate first from fourth.

What to watch: Week 1 depth charts and target shares will show which rookies earned immediate roles.
