With Aaron Jones out, AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor handled the
bulk of the running back work for the Packers. Dillon was the
clear lead back with 17 touches.
Jayden Reed (73.2%), Romeo Doubs (85.7%) and Christian Watson
(87.5%) dominated snaps at the receiver position. Reed led the
group with a 26.7% target share.
With the Lions playing from behind, Jahmyr Gibbs played 71.4%
of the snaps compared to 27.4% for David Montgomery. However,
Montgomery did see 16 opportunities with 19 for Gibbs.
Brian Robinson Jr. (44.9%) and Antonio Gibson (46.2%) were back
splitting playing time but Robinson continued to see the bulk
of the work out-touching Gibson 17 to 9.
The Commanders used six wide receivers once again with Terry McLaurin (84.6%) Jahan Dotson (84.6%) and Curtis Samuel (55.1%)
seeing the bulk of the action. Samuel led the group with a 27.3%
target share and finished with a 9-100-0 line.
Tony Pollard played 75.9% of the snaps and saw 19 touches. Rico Dowdle played 22.2% of the snaps and saw 4 touches.
The Cowboys continue to scorch the league with their passing
game. CeeDee Lamb (92.6%) saw a 28.1% target share. Brandin Cooks
(79.6%) the only other full time receiver. Michaal Gallup (33.3%)
has lost playing time to Jalen Tolbert (37.0%) and other secondary
receivers.
SF @ SEA
Offensive Snaps 49ers: 66
Seahawks: 56
Christian McCaffrey (77.3%) scored twice on 24 touches. Elijah Mitchell played 25.8% of the snaps and remains the clear handcuff
to McCaffrey.
As we know, the bulk of the receiving work gets done by Brandon Aiyuk (89.4%) and Deebo Samuel (75.8%). This was Deebo’s
day who saw a 30% target share.
With Kenneth Walker out, Zach Charbonnet played 87.5% of the
snaps and was the clear lead back handling 18 touches. DeeJay
Dallas played 12.5%.
The top trio in Seattle remains consistent with DK Metcalf (85.7%),
Tyler Lockett (94.6%) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (75.0%). Metcalf
led the group with a 33.3% target share.
MIA @ NYJ
Offensive Snaps Dolphins: 70
Jets: 58
With Devon Achane Inactive, Jeff Wilson got in the action, playing
32.9% of the snaps and getting 14 touches.
Raheem Mostert (60.0%) had 21 opportunities and scored twice.
Tyreek Hill (62.9%) tweaked his ankle early the game but didn’t
miss much time. Jaylen Waddle (65.7%) and Hill soaked up 20 targets
combined.
The Jets were once again incompetent on offense. Breece Hall
(65.5%) and Dalvin Cook (32.8%) were the only two running backs
to get a carry. Hall handled 14 touches including 7 receptions.
Garrett Wilson (94.8%), Jason Brownlee (98.3%) and Xavier Gipson
(72.4%) were the top receivers for the Jets. Wilson (27.8% target
share.) is the only consideration in this subpar offense.
JAX @ HOU
Offensive Snaps Jaguars: 76
Texans: 60
D'Ernest
Johnson (39.5%) operated as the No.2 running back for the
Jaguars behind Travis
Etienne (61.8%). Etienne had 26 opportunities.
Back-to-back good games from Calvin Ridley (93.4%) who posted
a 5-89-1 line. Christian Kirk (76.3%) led the wide receiver group
with an 18.9% target share.
Ja’Marr Chase
(88.4%) caught two tipped balls which was extremely lucky. He
finished with a 4-81-0 line.

receivers, with Tee Higgins inactive.
There was a very even split between Najee Harris (53.5%) and
Jaylen Warren (47.9%). 16 touches for Warren, 15 for Harris.
Diontae Johnson (73.2%) caught half of his 8 targets for 50 yards.

spot behind Mike Evans (91.7%) and Chris Godwin (83.3%). Evans
led the group with a 30.0% target share.
The Colts used Zack Moss (41.1%) more in this game but Jonathan Taylor (57.5%) still out-touched him 15 to 10. All of Taylor’s
touches were runs.
Michael Pittman Jr. (95.9%), Alec Pierce (94.5%) and Josh Downs
(68.5%) remain the top three receivers in the Colts offense. Downs

NE @ NYG

CLE @ DEN
Offensive Snaps Browns: 73
Broncos: 67
Jerome Ford (69.9%) played well ahead of Kareem Hunt (26.0%)
but the Browns fell behind and were forced to pass much of the
day.
Amari Cooper (74.0%) left this game with a rib injury. Elijah Moore (86.3%) led the wide receivers with a 23.1% target share.
TE David Njoku also had a 23.1% target share. He has at least
6 catches in his last three games.
Jaleel McLaughlin (3.0%) only had 2 touches in this game as the
Broncos stuck with Javonte Williams (70.1%) and Samaje Perine
(26.9%). Williams finished with 21 touches but Perine got the
TD.
Kyren Williams (61.2%) returned to action and saw 22 touches
(16-143-0, 6-61-2). Royce Freeman (34.3%) worked as the No.2 back
and got 13 carries, zero targets.
James Conner (42.3%) lost some playing time and opportunities
to Michael Carter (38.0%) who saw 8 touches. Emari Demercado (19.7%)
was also in the mix. Conner’s value will take a hit if this
usage continues.
Marquise Brown (87.3%), Rondale Moore (74.6%) and Greg Dortch
(76.1%) were the top three wideouts for the Cardinals. Brown led
the group with a 27.3% target share. His 88 yards were the most
since Week 4.
BUF @ PHI
Offensive Snaps Bills: 95
Eagles: 66
95 plays by the Bills led to 51 pass attempts by Josh Allen.
James Cook (43.2%) and Latavius Murray (44.2%) played a similar
number of snaps.
Gabriel Davis (95.8%) busted out his mini-slump and posted a
6-105-1 line on 12 targets. Stefon Diggs (91.6%) saw 11 targets.
Khalil Shakir played 80.0% of the snaps and has secured the No.3
receiver role.
TE Dalton Kincaid (61.1%) saw just 6 targets on 51 attempts from
Allen.
Down a couple receivers, the Chiefs used Rashee Rice (66.7%),
Justin Watson (56.7%), Skyy Moore (56.7%) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling
(53.3%). Rice led the group with a 31.3% target share. He’s
the only Chiefs wideout that is fantasy viable.
The Raiders continue to pound the ball with Josh Jacobs (75.9%).
He busted off a 63-yard TD run. Ameer Abdullah (20.7%) is the
backup.
Keaton Mitchell (46.5%) played the most snaps of any Ravens running
back and saw 11 touches. Gus Edwards (26.8%) and Justice Hill
(28.2%) makeup the three-headed RBBC with Edwards second in line.
TE Isaiah Likely played 73.2% of the snaps and saw a 20.0% target
share. If this usage keeps up, he’s a solid TE1.
The Chargers turned the ball over 4 times, leading to a loss.
Austin Ekeler (80.3%) played well ahead of Joshua Kelley (19.7%).
Another disappointing game for Quentin Johnston (43.9%) who left
with an injury but could’ve come back in but was held out.
Jalen Guyton (80.3%) had a 12.2% target share.
Keenan Allen (98.5%) saw 16 targets for the second game in a
row.
It was an ugly night for both offenses as only 1 TD was scored
(T.J. Hockenson).
Roschon Johnson (74.3%) was the lead back for the Bears handling
15 touches including 5-40-0 in the passing game. Khalil Herbert
(21.4%) had 8 touches while D’Onta Foreman was inactive.
We’ll see how sticky Roschon’s lead back status is
once Foreman returns from injury.
Equanimeous St. Brown (48.6%) had a clear handle on the No.3
receiver role but only D.J. Moore (92.9%) is viable in the Bears
passing game. Moore had a 40.6% target share.
As expected, the Vikings split the running back work between
Alexander Mattison (56.4%) and Ty Chandler (32.7%). 12 touches
for Mattison, 5 for Chandler.
Jordan Addison (96.4%) saw a 33.3% target share and is the only
WR fantasy viable in the Vikings offense. K.J. Osborn (85.5%)
and Brandon Powell (65.5%) are desperation plays.
