2022 NFL Opponent Starting Field Position Leaders

The average yard line, counted from the receiving team's own goal line, where it took over after a punt, including the return. A touchback counts as the 20. Blocked punts are left out.

Lowest comes first: a 24.0 means opponents began, on average, at their own 24. It folds distance, placement and returns into one number. In 2022, Logan Cooke (20.4) topped NFL punters in opponent starting field position, ahead of Mitch Wishnowsky (20.8) and Tommy Townsend (21.0). 33 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts).
