How each defense spends its dropbacks, and how every receiver produces against each coverage. Click a column to sort.
NFL coverage tendencies for all 32 defenses: the man vs zone split plus how often each plays Cover 1, Cover 3, and two-high zone, as a share of each team's dropbacks this season and last. Sort by any coverage to find the heaviest man defenses or the most zone-reliant ones, then match receivers who beat that coverage to the defenses that live in it. The Receivers vs Coverage tab ranks every receiver, tight end, and back by targets and yards per route against man, zone, Cover 0, Cover 1, Cover 3, Cover 2/4/6, and 2-Man.

Man vs zone rates and Cover 1, Cover 3, and two-high zone usage for all 32 defenses, plus every receiver's production vs each coverage, this season and last. Subscribers also get our model's odds, edge, and verdict on every NFL player prop, projections, TD matchups, and the daily report.
Start your free 7-day trialSort the grid by the Man column and the defenses that live in man coverage rise to the top, with the exact share of their dropbacks. Sorting by Zone or by a specific coverage such as Cover 3 answers the same question for any coverage type.
Receivers win differently against different coverages. A separator who beats press thrives on man-heavy defenses, while a zone-beater who finds soft spots profiles better against zone teams. Matching a receiver's strength to the defense's coverage diet sharpens receptions and yardage prop reads.
It combines every two-high safety zone look: Cover 2, Cover 4 (quarters), and Cover 6. Cover 1 is single-high man and Cover 3 is single-high zone. Man and Zone show the overall split, and the few remaining plays (such as Cover 0 and 2-Man) are not broken out, so a row does not add up to exactly 100.
Open the Receivers vs Coverage tab and pick a coverage. Every receiver, tight end, and back is ranked by yards per route run against it, with targets per route next to it. Filter by team or position, and raise the minimum routes to hide tiny samples. Then check which defenses lean on that coverage in the Defense Coverage tab.
Weekly during the season, so the numbers are season to date. Early in the year each defense has fewer dropbacks behind it, so treat the percentages as tendencies rather than exact play calls.
