What has Auburn's target disparity looked like so far in 2023?

The Auburn Tigers now have four games under their belt. The year has already seen its share of ups and downs on both sides of the ball.

There are still a decent amount of questions surrounding the team, but target disparity in the passing game is not among them.

Quarterback Payton Thorne has spread the ball around a good amount. 14 different Tigers have caught a pass this season. Seven wide receivers, three tight ends and four running backs have made a catch.

Jay Fair is Auburn's leading receiver so far this season. He leads the team in receptions with 15, in yards with 184 and in touchdowns with two.

Head coach Hugh Freeze has been known to use tight ends in his offense and that has been the case in his first season with the program.

Rivaldo Fairweather, an FIU transfer, has already been a difference-maker in his first season with the program. He has caught 11 passes for 101 yards and was able to bring in the game-winning touchdown in the Cal game.

Shane Hooks, the transfer from Jackson State, has been Auburn's best newcomer at the wide receiver position so far this season. Hooks has caught 8 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown.

The running backs have not played a particularly big role in the pass-catching game so far this season, but that could change as Auburn continues to search for an identity offensively.
