Unlocking the Unstoppable: Meet the 2025 NFL Superstars Dominating the Game in Unexpected Ways
NFL Superlative All-Stars: Wide Receivers
Top Touchdown-Maker: Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams
A burn occurs when a receiver “wins” his matchup against a defender on a play in which he is targeted, regardless of whether the pass from the quarterback was catchable or not. No one won his matchup for a touchdown more than Adams as his 19 touchdown burns led the NFL, well ahead of Chris Olave of the New Orleans Saints and Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 14 each.

The Most Quarterback-Friendly Target: Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens
Flowers finished with both the league’s best burn rate at 70.3% and open percentage (how often a receiver is open on throws in which he’s targeted) at 85.6 among WRs with at least 75 targets. He also had an NFL-best 81.0% open rate on throws of 15 or more air yards – well ahead of Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s second-best 68.8%.
