Overall
During the offseason, we wondered who would emerge as UB's pass catchers in a crowded receiving corp.
Over the past three games, passes thrown to receivers, (omitting passes to RBs, and including Devin Campbell as an RB for now) have shown there are four clear WR targets: Ron Willoughby, Matt Weiser, Collin Lisa and Marcus McGill.
That said, each receiver has been better in certain situations than others summarized below:
| 1st Quarter | 2nd Quarter | 3rd Quarter | 4th Quarter | |
| UB down 10 | Weiser | Weiser | McGill | Lisa |
| UB within 9 | Willoughby | Weiser | McGill | Lisa |
| UB Leading | Willoughby | RUN | RUN | Willoughby |
| 1st down | 2nd down | 3rd down | |
| Long yardage | RUN | Willoughby | Willoughby |
| Medium Yardage | McGill | McGill | Lisa |
| Short yardage | Weiser | McGill | Willoughby |
