DK Metcalf (89.9%) exploded for 6-134-3 but it was Jaxon Smith-Njigba
(66.7%) who led the Seattle receivers with a 28.9% target share.
Metcalf, JSN and Tyler Lockett (88.4%) played the majority of
the snaps.
Tony Pollard (77.5%) handled 23 touches but was largely inefficient
in the run game averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Rico Dowdle (18.0%)
had 6 touches.
CeeDee Lamb (92.1%) and Brandin Cooks (89.9%) are the main producers
in the passing game, although Cooks saw just a 10.0% target share
while Lamb had a dominant 42.5% target share.
Jake Ferguson (74.2%) had a 20.0% target share and finished with
a 6-77-1 line.
DEN @ HOU
Offensive Snaps Broncos: 60
Texans: 68
Javonte Williams (65.0%) continues to lead the Broncos three-headed
backfield which saw a little more usage from Jaleel McLaughlin
(15.0%) this week. Still, it’s Javonte or nobody from this
group.
Courtland
Sutton (85.0%) now has 9 TDs this season on just 50 receptions
and is the only fantasy viable receiver on this team. Jerry
Jeudy (70.0%) has 1 TD on 40 catches. Marvin
Mims (30.0%) played behind Lil'Jordan
Humphrey (41.7%).
Dameon Pierce (38.2%) ripped off a 22-yard run early in this
game which allowed him to get extra carries on Devin Singletary
(45.6%). Pierce out-touched Singletary 15 to 9. I don’t
think this usage is sticky.
The Texans lost stud rookie receiver Tank Dell (13.2%) to a broken
fibula. He will miss the remainder of the season. Nico Collins
(80.9%) saw a huge 46.2% target share. Expect Robert Woods (47.1%)
and Noah Brown (80.9%) to get more work to finish the season.
With Dalton Schultz out, Brevin Jordan played 75.0% of the snaps
and finished with a 3-64-0 line on 4 targets.
LAC @ NE
Offensive Snaps Chargers: 61
Patriots: 64
Neither team found the endzone in this game… in fact the
Patriots posted a goose egg.
RB duties for the Chargers were split between Austin Ekeler (57.4%)
and Joshua Kelley (42.6%). Ekeler had 16 touches for 27 yards.
TEs Gerald Everett (63.9%) and Donald Parham (62.3%) were utilized
with the Chargers being thin at receiver. The two combined for
9 targets.
The Bailey Zappe led Patriots were predictably inept on offense.
He completed 52.0% of his passes for 141 yards.
Rhamondre Stevenson (26.6%) left early with an ankle injury and
is expected to miss a couple weeks. Ezekiel Elliott (68.8%) will
move into a lead back role.
The Lions liked the matchup the had at TE as Sam LaPorta (81.0%)
saw a 36.0% target share.
Derek Carr (62.7%) left with a concussion in this game which
allowed Jameis Winston (13.4%) to see some action.
Alvin Kamara (58.2%) got 22 opportunities and scored two rushing
TDs.
TE Taysom Hill played 41.8% of the snaps and saw 15 touches (13-59-1
running) and threw 2 passes.
Chris Olave
(61.2%) got off to a slow start but did finish with a 29.2% target
share. A.T. Perry
(61.2%) and Lynn
Bowden Jr. (71.6%) were the other featured receivers but only
saw 4 combined targets.
James Conner (76.5%) got 25 carries against his former team and
finished with 105 rushing yards and 2 TDs. Michael Carter (19.1%)
worked as the No.2 running back.
The Cardinals passing game is running through TE Trey McBride
(95.6%) who led the team with a 39.1% target share.
The Steelers lost QB Kenny Pickett (49.2%) to an ankle injury
in this game. Mitchell Trubisky (49.2%) will be under center the
next few weeks.
A lot of folks were on Jaylen Warren (42.6%) in daily fantasy
this week but Najee Harris (59.0%) saw 18 touches compared to
10 for Warren.
Diontae Johnson (72.1%) found the endzone in garbage time, saving
his fantasy day. He and George Pickens (80.3%) both had a 18.5%
target share.
Pat Freiermuth (3-29-0) played just 59.0% of the snaps just a
week after his 120-yard game against the Bengals.
ATL @ NYJ
Offensive Snaps Falcons: 68
Jets: 68
Bijan Robinson (75.0%) operated as the lead back ahead of Cordarrelle
Patterson (30.9%) and Tyler Allgeier (16.2%). Bijan had 21 touches.
Drake London (85.3%) saw a 20.0% target share and continues to
be the only fantasy viable Falcons wide receiver.
The Falcons trotted out four tight ends including Kyle Pitts
(66.2%), Jonnu Smith (39.7%), MyCole Pruitt (29.4%) and Parker Hesse (26.5%). Pitts saw a high 32.0% target share but finished
with just a 4-51-0 line.
Trevor Siemian (33.8%) replaced Tim Boyle (66.2%) as the Jets
look for answers to fix their broken offense.
The Jets decided to give more work to Dalvin Cook (26.5%) this
week which resulted in a 9-35-0, 1-11-0 line. Breece Hall (67.6%)
was inefficient on his touches finishing with a 13-16-0, 6-29-0
line.
Garrett Wilson played every snap and finished with a 3-50-0 line.
IND @ TEN
Offensive Snaps Colts: 71
Titans: 85
As expected, Zack Moss (94.4%) got a big workload with Jonathan Taylor out. Moss had 21 touches but was very inefficient (19-51-0,
2-6-0).
Michael Pittman Jr. (95.8%), and Alec Pierce (98.6%) were basically
full-time players as usual. Josh Downs (67.6%) took a backseat
to Pierce for a change but Pittman is the alpha in this offense
with a 39.0% target share.
Derrick Henry (40.0%) left this game with a concussion which
allowed Tyjae Spears (67.1%) to see some increased work. 20 touches
for Spears in this game.
Devon Achane (60.7%) saw most of his work in the 2nd half but
did see 20 touches finishing with a 17-73-2, 3-30-0 line. Raheem Mostert (37.7%) got most of his work in the first half and managed
to find the endzone again.
Tyreek Hill (50.8%) continues to be a freak of nature, scoring
twice this week on five receptions. Jaylen Waddle (60.7%) saw
8 targets for the third-straight game. These two could’ve
had bigger games if the Commanders would’ve pushed them
on the scoreboard.
Brian Robinson Jr. (21.8%) left this game with a hamstring injury.
The Commanders have a bye next week. Chris Rodriguez Jr. (21.8%)
would see increased work if Robinson misses Week 15.
Washington couldn’t get anything going in the passing game
this week as Terry McLaurin (81.8%) didn’t record a catch
on 3 targets. Curtis Samuel (58.2%) continues to work as the third
receiver but led the group with a 22.7% target share along with
Jahan Dotson (81.8%).
TE Logan Thomas (61.8%) also failed to record a catch but did
have a 2-point conversion.
CAR @ TB
Offensive Snaps Panthers: 72
Buccaneers: 62
Chuba Hubbard (65.3%) had his best fantasy day of the season
(25-104-2) while Miles Sanders (31.9%) had 9 touches.
Bryce Young has less than 200 yards passing in five-straight
games. Adam Thielen (88.9%) and Jonathan Mingo (95.8%) are the
starting wideouts. Mingo led the Panthers with a 38.5% target
share.
He’s not great, but Rachaad White (87.1%) has one of the
best RB roles in the league.
Mike Evans (82.3%) separated himself from Chris Godwin (83.9%)
this season despite them playing a similar number of snaps. Evans
had a 44.4% target share in this game and already has 10 TDs on
the season while Godwin has 2.
CLE @ LAR
Offensive Snaps Browns: 71
Rams: 64
Jerome Ford (50.7%) and Kareem Hunt (35.2) continue to share
running back duties with both getting a similar number of opportunities
(12,13).
Amari Cooper (32.4%) left this game with a concussion. Elijah Moore (73.2%) had a 29.23% target share as a result. Cedric Tillman
played 93.0% of the snaps but had just six targets.
TE David Njoku (83.1%) had six targets but just 2 receptions
for 17 yards.
It was the Kyren Williams show for the Rams as he played 93.8%
of the snaps and had 27 touches. Royce Freeman played just 4 snaps.
Puka Nacua (62.5%) left this game with a shoulder issue but later
returned. He’s No.1 in the WR pecking order above Cooper Kupp (98.4%).
SF @ PHI
Offensive Snaps 49ers: 59
Eagles: 72
The best running back role in the league belongs to Christian McCaffrey (88.1%), who not only gets the volume (20 touches) but
has talent. Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason combined for 8 snaps.
The Deebo Samuel
(83.1%) show made a stop in Philadelphia scoring three times and
racking up 138 total yards. Brandon
Aiyuk (86.4%) had a 28.0% target share.
Jalen Hurts (93.1%) left briefly to be checked for a concussion
but returned with the game already out of hand.
D’Andre Swift
(41.7%) was barely used in this game (12 opportunities) as the
Eagles were down big. That resulted in Kenneth
Gainwell playing 54.2% of the snaps.
A.J. Brown (86.1%) and DeVonta Smith (100.0%) continue to soak
up the majority of work in the Eagles passing game. It’s
likely we’ll see Dallas Goedert in Week 14.
The Chiefs WR group continues to be a mess with Mahomes lacking
chemistry with most of his receivers. Rashee Rice (68.7%) is the
only fantasy viable option.
TE Travis Kelce (88.1%) had just a 16.7% target share.
With Aaron Jones out, AJ Dillon played 62.5% of the snaps and
handled 19 touches. Patrick Taylor () worked as the No.2 RB but
only saw 2 touches.
Christian Watson (73.4%) led the Green Bay receiving corps with
a 25.7% target share. He seemed to injure his hamstring late in
the game so keep an eye on practice reports this week.
CIN @ JAX
Offensive Snaps Bengals: 73
Jaguars: 69
For a game at least, the Bengals got great play from their backup
QB. Jake Browning completed 86.5% of his passes and ended up as
the QB4 on the week.
The Bengals finally got rookie Chase Brown (15.1%) involved at
running back (9 carries, 61 yards). He only had 2 carries prior
to this game. He’ll be worth a pickup if you have the bench
space. Joe Mixon (71.2%) handled 25 touches in this overtime game
and posted a 19-68-2, 6-49-0 line.
Tee Higgins
(78.1%) returned to action but was relatively quiet (3-36-0) considering
Browning threw for 354 yards. Ja’Marr
Chase (95.9%) was the focal point of the receiving game with
a 33.3% target share. Tyler
Boyd played 75.3% of the snaps and threw an INT on a trick
play.
Another week, another QB injury. Trevor Lawrence (76.8%) left
with a sprained ankle. No word yet on how much time he will miss.
Travis Etienne
(62.3%) handled just 15 touches (11-45-1, 4-34-0). He came into
the game with a chest injury. D'Ernest
Johnson (36.2%) had 6 touches for 9 yards.
Christian Kirk (1.4%) left this game on the first offensive play
with a groin injury. That didn’t help Calvin Ridley (85.5%)
who finished with a 4-26-0, 3-7-0 line on 8 targets. Zay Jones
played 92.8% of the snaps and should benefit if Kirk misses significant
time. Parker Washington (59.4%) also got into the mix and saw
6 targets.
TE Evan Engram (84.1%) had his best fantasy day of the season
(9-82-1) and had a 23.1% target share.
