Typically, Brady's top four targets have accounted for 65%-75% of all receptions, receiving yards and receiving TDs - and those top four targets have included a TE, an RB and only two WRs. Brady's "2nd-tier" target group (accounting for nearly all the remaining targets, receptions, receiving yards & receiving TDs) has also typically included a TE, an RB and the #3WR. This pattern extends back through at least the Watson-Faulk era.
