What Is Catchigami? New NFL Receiving Lines Since 1999

A catchigami is a single-game combination of catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns that no NFL player had recorded in any earlier game since 1999. If a player finishes with a receiving line that hasn't appeared in any game since 1999, he has created a catchigami.

Drake London's nine catches for 194 yards and no touchdowns against Green Bay on September 24, 2026?

Catchigami.

Davante Adams' eight catches for 195 yards and two touchdowns three days earlier?

That was one, too.

MockSlate's new NFL Catchigami tracker lets you explore every receiving line in the records, including the common ones seen thousands of times, the rare ones that have appeared once and the combinations no player has reached since 1999.

From Scorigami to Catchigami: Catches, Yards and TDs Since 1999

Catchigami borrows its name and basic idea from Scorigami, the concept created by sportswriter and video producer Jon Bois.

A scorigami happens when an NFL game ends with a final score that has never happened before. Catchigami applies that same idea to an individual player's receiving performance, the way Rushigami does for rushing.

Instead of comparing the two teams' final scores, Catchigami combines three statistics:

• Catches
• Receiving yards
• Receiving touchdowns

A player who finishes with eight catches for 100 yards and one touchdown has produced an 8–100–1 receiving line.

If another player had already recorded that exact combination since 1999, it is a repeat.

If no one had done it in any game since 1999, it is a catchigami.

How to Read the Catchigami Chart: Five Touchdown Tabs, 0 to 4

Because a receiving line has three numbers, the Catchigami chart works a little differently from the Rushigami chart.

First, select the receiving-touchdown total:

• 0 touchdowns
• 1 touchdown
• 2 touchdowns
• 3 touchdowns
• 4 touchdowns

Within each touchdown chart, receiving yards run across the horizontal axis and catches run down the vertical axis.

• Navy lines have happened at least once since 1999.
• Gold lines are new this season.
• Blank spaces haven't happened since 1999.

Point to a line, or tap it on a phone, to see how many times it has happened and who had it last.

Switching between the touchdown charts shows how quickly the open spaces multiply. Every tab covers the same range of catches and yards. Through September 26, 2026, the zero-touchdown chart held 1,499 different lines. The three-touchdown chart held 189, and the four-touchdown chart held 11.

Why Catchigamis Are Common: 4,189 Receiving Lines Since 1999

A rushing line combines two numbers: yards and touchdowns.

A receiving line adds catches as a third variable. That creates far more possible combinations.

Two players can both finish with 120 receiving yards and one touchdown but reach that total in very different ways. One might need five catches. The other might need 12.

Those are two different receiving lines:

• 5 catches, 120 yards and 1 touchdown
• 12 catches, 120 yards and 1 touchdown

Either one could be a catchigami even if the other had already happened.

As of September 26, 2026, MockSlate's records held 4,189 different receiving lines from 101,847 player-games with at least one catch.

Many of the ordinary combinations have happened hundreds, or even thousands, of times. The most common was one catch for six yards and no touchdowns. That line had occurred 2,305 times.

But move toward the outer edges of the chart, with more catches, more yards or multiple touchdowns, and new combinations are still appearing.

Catchigami Examples, 2024 to 2026: From 14-193-1 to 1-77-1

A catchigami does not have to come from the biggest receiving performance of the week.

Some are obvious statistical explosions:

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba: 9 catches, 155 yards and 3 touchdowns at Arizona, Week 2 of 2026
• Chris Olave: 10 catches, 182 yards and no touchdowns at Detroit, Week 1 of 2026
• Davante Adams: 8 catches, 195 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Giants, Week 2 of 2026
• Amon-Ra St. Brown: 14 catches, 193 yards and 1 touchdown against Buffalo, Week 15 of 2024
• Puka Nacua: 12 catches, 225 yards and 2 touchdowns at Seattle, Week 16 of 2025

Others are unusual for a completely different reason.

Ryan Miller's one catch for 77 yards and one touchdown at San Francisco in Week 2 of 2026 was also a catchigami. So was Tyler Warren's six-catch, 21-yard, one-touchdown game at Kansas City the same week.

That is part of the fun. Catchigami is not simply a leaderboard for the most yards or catches. It looks for combinations.

A receiver can reach an empty space with a dominant 200-yard game. A tight end, or a receiver with one long catch, can do it with a much stranger line.

Catchigamis by Season: 415 New Lines in 2000, 45 in 2025

The 1999 season establishes the starting set of receiving lines in MockSlate's records. Those lines are marked as first seen in 1999 but are not counted as catchigamis.

Beginning in 2000, a receiving line counts as a catchigami only if it hadn't appeared in any earlier game since the start of 1999.

That first counted season produced 415 new receiving lines. The total declined as more of the chart filled in, though not every year: 2013's 120 came after 93 in 2012.

There were:

• 247 new lines in 2002
• 185 in 2004
• 120 in 2013
• 84 in 2016
• 68 in 2020
• 45 in 2025

There were 11 more through September 26, 2026.

New catchigamis remain much more common than new rushigamis because catches give receiving lines another way to differ. In 2000 there were 415 new receiving lines and 90 new rushing lines. In 2025 there were 45 and five. Through September 26, 2026, there were 11 and one. The trend is the same: the more football that gets played, the harder it becomes to produce a combination no one has reached since 1999.

Davante Adams' 26 Catchigamis: The Most by an Active Player

Through September 26, 2026, Davante Adams had recorded 180 different receiving lines in 191 games with a catch. Twenty-six of those performances were catchigamis.

That is the most among players with a catch in 2025 or 2026, and the most by any player since the start of the 2011 season. Tyreek Hill is next among active players with 21. Counting from 2000, Marvin Harrison leads with 47. Counting from 2004, Calvin Johnson leads with 31.

Adams' new combinations included:

• 13 catches, 132 yards and 2 touchdowns against Chicago in 2016
• 10 catches, 132 yards and 2 touchdowns against San Francisco in 2018
• 14 catches, 156 yards and 2 touchdowns against Minnesota in 2020
• 11 catches, 142 yards and 3 touchdowns against Tennessee in 2020
• 11 catches, 206 yards and 1 touchdown against Cincinnati in 2021
• 9 catches, 198 yards and 2 touchdowns against Jacksonville in 2024
• 8 catches, 195 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Giants in 2026

The unusual part is how rarely Adams has repeated himself. Only 11 of his 180 receiving lines came up twice in his career, and none came up three times.

His Catchigami player page shows all 191 of his games with a catch, the 180 different lines he produced and every catchigami credited to him.

Catchigami Player Pages: 746 Players With 50+ Games Since 1999

The main Catchigami tracker shows the league-wide picture. Individual player pages let you examine one career at a time.

At launch, MockSlate included pages for 746 players with at least 50 games containing a catch since 1999: 349 wide receivers, 188 running backs, 180 tight ends, 28 fullbacks and one player listed as an offensive tackle.

Each player page shows:

• Total games with a catch
• Number of different receiving lines
• Catchigamis created
• Lines posted only once
• Most frequently repeated line
• Every qualifying regular-season and playoff game

The pages offer a different way to compare receivers. Two players may have similar career totals but very different patterns. One may repeatedly finish near the same statistical range. Another may produce a different receiving line almost every week.

What Counts as a Receiving Line: Every Game With a Catch Since 1999

MockSlate includes every regular-season and playoff game since 1999 in which a player recorded at least one official reception.

A few important details:

• Any player with a catch counts, regardless of position.
• Negative receiving yards count.
• Regular-season and playoff games both count.
• A player must record at least one reception to produce a qualifying line.
• Yards and touchdowns after a lateral on a pass play count toward the line, but a lateral isn't a catch.
• If two players create the same new line in games that kicked off at the same time, both receive credit for a shared first.
• Seasons are listed by the year they began, so a January game counts toward the season before it.

The tracker uses weekly player statistics from nflverse and updates after game days when the latest statistics become available. Stat corrections for the current season show up at the next update.

Following Catchigami Live: New Receiving Lines in the 2026 Season

A familiar receiving total can become completely new when all three numbers are considered together.

Two catches for 11 yards and one touchdown had happened 82 times through September 26, 2026. Two catches for 11 yards and two touchdowns hadn't happened once since 1999. One more trip to the end zone, one late reception or a few extra yards can move a player into an untouched part of the chart.

That gives fans another question to follow during every NFL game:

Did that player just finish with a receiving line that hasn't happened once since 1999?

Now there is a place to check.
