Each week I will break down each team’s running back and wide receiver snap share percentages and the amount of touches/targets they receive that week. Although these numbers do not always lead to fantasy football results, they are worth monitoring for multiple reasons. Opportunity is the best way to determine a player’s floor in fantasy football. The more snaps and volume a player receives, the more likely they will produce more points weekly. Conversely, a player who is not receiving as many snaps or touches but has been highly efficient is a good breakout candidate in future weeks. Below I mention some key takeaways as well as each team’s usage rates.
Key Takeaways
- Ray Davis is the RB handcuff to own in Buffalo
- Chase Brown continues to trend up in snap share
- Tank Bigsby took a backseat to D’Ernest Johnson this week
- Tyler Allgeier needs to be rostered
- Michael Wilson is the WR1 for the Cardinals if Marvin Harrison Jr. misses any time
- The Browns backfield gets more crowded with the return of Nick Chubb
- Dell, Schultz, and Diggs all trending up after Nico Collins injury
- Patriots pass catchers are usable in fantasy, take a look at Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte
- Isaac Guerendo would be the beneficiary of touches if Jordan Mason misses week 7
- Alexander Mattison is the RB1 for the Raiders
- Jets and Bills likely trade impact
- Browns: Jeudy and Moore UP
- Raiders: Myers and Tucker UP
- Bills: Coleman, Samuel, Hollins DOWN
- Jets: Lazard and Williams DOWN
