Breece Hall (71.2%) and Israel Abanikanda (26.0%) handled all
of the running back work for the Jets. Dalvin Cook didn’t
get a snap. Breece caught all 9 of his targets for 42 yards and
a TD. He now has 25 targets and 21 receptions in his last two
games.
Saddled with Trevor Siemian at quarterback, there wasn’t
much productivity for Garrett Wilson (98.6%) who saw 10 targets
but caught only 5 for 50 yards. Jason Brownlee (97.3%) was virtually
and every-down player with Xavier Gipson (69.9%) working as the
No.3 wideout.
Tyler Conklin played 79.5% of the snaps and caught all five of
his targets for 45 yards.
The Joe Flacco
show continued in Week 17 which allowed the Browns to jump out
to a big lead. As a result, Cleveland used all three of their
running backs including Jerome
Ford (40.0%), Kareem
Hunt (36.7%) and Pierre
Strong Jr. (23.3%). Ford totaled 121 yards and 2 TDs on 14
touches.
Amari Cooper was inactive due to a heel injury and Elijah Moore
(53.3%) left with a concussion. TE David Njoku (81.7%) was the
beneficiary of Flacco’s success, posting a 6-134-0 line
on 8 targets. He now has 8 or more targets in seven out of his
last eight games.
DET @ DAL
Offensive Snaps Lions: 69
Cowboys: 65
As usual, David Montgomery (39.1%) and Jahmyr Gibbs (62.3%) handled
all of the running back duties for the Lions. Montgomery found
the endzone while Gibbs struggled to find running room (15-43-0).
TE Sam LaPorta (100.0%) had a couple big catches late to help
his fantasy day (7-84-0).
More of the same from Tony Pollard (84.6%) who turned 17 touches
into 49 yards. Rico Dowdle was inactive which allowed Deuce Vaughn
(12.3%) to get 3 touches and 12 yards.
This night belonged to CeeDee Lamb (95.4%) who finished with
a 13-227-1 line on a whopping 17 targets. Lamb’s 17 targets
represented a 45.9% target share. Brandin Cooks (78.5%) was able
to find the endzone and had a 21.6% target share.
Raheem Mostert was inactive which gave the running back work
to Devon Achane (47.8%) and Jeff Wilson (49.3%). Chris Brooks
got in for 5 snaps. Achane was the clear lead back, handling 18
touches for 137 yards and 1 TD while Wilson got just 6 touches.
Gus Edwards (54.4%) and Justice Hill (35.1%) did the heavy lifting
at running back for the Ravens. Edwards got 16 touches (all runs),
while Hill had just 8 touches including 5 targets.
The Ravens only needed 57 plays to pile up 56 points. Rashod Bateman (71.9%) led the WR group with a 27.3% target share but
Zay Flowers (56.1%) turned 3 targets into 106 yards and a TD.
We’ve seen this season that when the Titans get behind
on the scoreboard, Tyjae Spears (61.8%) gets more snaps than Derrick Henry (41.8%). That happened here as Tennessee lost 26-3 to Houston.
Henry got 12 touches while Spears had 10 touches including 6 targets.
Neither back was productive.
DeAndre Hopkins (85.5%) led the WR group with a 28.0% target
share. Treylon Burks (81.8%) and Chris Moore (76.4%) were on the
field a lot but aren’t fantasy considerations.
TE Chigoziem Okonkwo (74.5%) finished with a 3-34-0 line on 4
targets.
Devin Singletary (62.3%) continued in the lead back role for
Houston, handling 19 touches while Dameon Pierce (19.7%) got nine
touches.
Nico Collins (62.3%) led the WR group with a 25.8% target share.
Both Noah Brown (11.5%) and Robert Woods (63.9%) got injured in
this game. John Metchie stepped in to play 60.7% of the snaps.
The Texans used some two-TE sets with Dalton Schultz (78.7%)
and Brevin Jordan (50.8%) but the two combined for just 6 targets.
NE @ BUF
Offensive Snaps Patriots: 53
Bills: 69
Ezekiel Elliott (81.1%) took 15 touches for 45 yards and 1 TD
while Kevin Harris (20.8%) had 4 touches for 69 yards.
Stefon Diggs (65.2%) had a 25.0% target share but has fallen
to a WR2 as the season has progressed. Gabriel Davis (91.3%) and Khalil Shakir (79.7%) were in their normal roles.
Dalton Kincaid (55.1%) and Dawson Knox (43.5%) continue to share
tight end duties. Kincaid turned 7 targets into a 4-87-0 line.
LAR @ NYG
Offensive Snaps Rams: 62
Giants: 74
The Kyren Williams (93.5%) show included 22 touches and 3 TDs.
Ronnie Rivers (6.5%) has taken over the No.2 RB role over Royce Freeman who didn’t play a snap on offense.
Darius Slayton
(86.5%), Wan'Dale
Robinson (82.4%) and Jalin
Hyatt (77.0%) continue to dominate snaps at WR for the Giants.

SF @ WAS
Offensive Snaps 49ers: 70
Commanders: 46
Brian Robinson Jr. returned to action and played 54.3% of the
snaps, handling 13 touches for 76 yards. Antonio Gibson (43.5%)
only got 6 touches.
Sam Howell got the start and the Commanders could only run 46
plays. Pass catchers in this offense aren’t really playable
unless Jacoby Brissett is under center.
Terry McLaurin (89.1%) led the WRs with a 23.1% target share
and did find the endzone. Curtis Samuel (50.0%) and Jahan Dotson
(84.8%) were not fantasy factors on such low play volume.
Christian McCaffrey (54.3%) left early with a calf injury which
allowed Elijah Mitchell (37.1%) to handle 17 carries for 80 yards
and 1 TD. Mitchell will be in play for Week 18 if McCaffrey sits.
Both Brandon Aiyuk (87.1%) and Deebo Samuel (84.3%) found the
endzone and both had over a 22% target share.
Arizona’s nice win against the Eagles included a big game
from James Conner (65.8%) who handled 27 touches for 133 yards
and 2 TDs. Michael Carter (17.1%) and Emari Demercado (11.8%)
also saw the field.
We have a Michael Wilson (85.5%) sighting! He had a 19.4% target
share and found the endzone. Greg Dortch (81.6%) and Rondale Moore
(65.8%) were also used with Dorth having a 22.6% target share.
The bad body language continues for the Eagles who only got off
49 plays.
D'Andre Swift
(46.9%) and Kenneth
Gainwell (53.1%) handled the running back work with Swift
getting 14 touches. Gainwell had 6.
DeVonta Smith (87.8%) played most of the game, but did come up
lame with an ankle injury. Julio Jones (40.8%) scored twice on
2 targets while A.J. Brown (93.9%) was left out in the cold for
much of the 2nd half.
TE Dallas Goedert (93.9%) had a 26.1% target share and finished
with a 5-47-1 line.
NO @ TB
Offensive Snaps Saints: 70

a 3-26-0 line on 6 targets. Rashid Shaheed (54.3%) only had 3
targets.

target share! He finished with an 8-90-1 line and has now scored
a TD in three-straight games. Taysom Hill (34.3%) had 2 pass attempts
(11 yards), 2 rushing attempts (-3 yards) and 2 receptions (30
yards, 1 TD).

the running back work for the Bucs. White had 15 touches for 66

since Week 8. Tank Bigsby (27.0%) got some garbage time run.

share which turned into a 4-39-0 line.

into a 6-60-0 line.
ATL @ CHI

a 4-56-0 line on 10 targets.
TE Kyle Pitts (72.9%) and Jonnu Smith (78.0%) combined for 1
reception and 5 yards on 9 targets.

had 10.

in the lead back role, handling 25 touches. Ameer Abdullah (40.0%)

a 45.7% target share! Jakobi Meyers (94.7%) and Tre Tucker (69.3%)
combined for 15 targets while Hunter Renfrow (16.0%) is the No.4
wideout.
Mo Alie-Cox (60.7%) and Kylen Granson (62.5%) handled most of
the snaps at tight end for the Colts but aren’t fantasy
relevant.
PIT @ SEA
Offensive Snaps Steelers: 72
Seahawks: 49
Najee Harris (52.8%) and Jaylen Warren (54.2%) rolled all over
the Seahawks including 27 carries for Najee. The two RBs combined
for 220 yards and 3 TDs.

75 yards and a TD before he left. Zach Charbonnet (57.1%) had
just 7 touches (5 receptions) for 41 yards.
Austin Ekeler (72.3%) had 50 yards on 14 touches as the Chargers
offense was stuck in mud with Easton Stick at quarterback.
The Chargers were thin at receiver with Quentin Johnston (90.8%),
Alex Erickson (93.8%) and Keelan Doss (75.4%) working as the top
three options. Erickson and Doss both had a 21.6% target share.

he was about 70% healthy. He finished with 3-41-0 on 7 targets.
Tee Higgins
(40.5%) left early in the game with a hamstring injury but later
returned. Tyler
Boyd (68.9%) was in his typical role.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon were both out for this
game which left Isiah Pacheco (92.6%) in a complete workhorse
and he delivered 165 yards and 1 TD on 25 touches. La'Mical Perine
(7.4%) didn’t have a touch.
Two more drops from Marquez Valdes-Scantling (70.4%) who is playing
himself out of the league. Rashee Rice (77.8%) finished with a
5-127-0 line on 6 targets. Justin Watson (44.4%), Richie James
