With Saquon Barkley out, the Giants rolled with Matt Breida on
82% of the snaps. However, the offense was anemic which resulted
in a 4-17-1; 3 (targets)-3-1-0 line for Breida. Gary Brightwell
played 18% of the snaps.
With the 49ers playing on a short week, Elijah
Mitchell (33.7%) got involved but Christian
McCaffrey (61.4%) still dominated touches 23 to 14.
With Brandon Aiyuk out, Deebo Samuel (81.9%) and TE George Kittle
(83.1%) were the stars of the receiving show. The two combined
for 21 targets with Deebo seeing a 35.3% target share.
Joshua Kelley (72.7%) dominated snap share at RB for the Chargers
but their running game struggles without Ekeler. Isaiah Spiller
(24.2%) was the second back through ahead of Elijah Dotson (1
snap).
Mike Williams
(66.7%) will be out for the season, meaning we’ll see more of
Josh Palmer
(60.6%) and rookie Quentin
Johnston (24.25) moving forward. Palmer has been running ahead
of Johnston through three weeks.
Keenan Allen saw an insane 41.7% target share on way to his 20-18-215-0
line.
The Bills blowout (37-3) allowed backups to see more snaps than
usual.
The negative game script for Washinton allowed Antonio Gibson
(61.1%) to see his highest snap share of the season but he ended
up with just 5 touches. Brian Robinson Jr. (37%) had 10 touches…
all runs.
With Logan Thomas out, Cole Turner (57.4%) and John Bates (57.4%)
split the tight end work evenly. However, Turner had 7 targets
while Bates had 2.
Bijan Robinson (80.6%) saw an outsized snap share over Tyler Allgeier (29.9%) but the Falcons threw the ball more than they
typically do with just 17 carries combined for the two RBs.
TE Kyle Pitts
saw a 23.7% target share and played 77.6% of the snaps and saw
9 targets with a 5-41-0 result.
Caught in another negative game script, the Titans used Tyjae Spears (56.2%) more than Derrick Henry (37.5%), however Henry
had 11 touches (all runs) compared to 8 touches for Spears.
Jerome Ford (56.3%) had some help in the backfield this week,
with Kareem Hunt (19.7%) and Pierre Strong Jr. (11.3%) both seeing
action. Ford had just 13 touches.
Elijah Moore (76.1%) saw a 29.0% target share this week and is
clearly the 2nd option in the passing game behind Amari Cooper
(80.3%).
HOU @ JAX
Offensive Snaps Texans: 56
Jaguars: 73
Dameon Pierce (53.6%) has yet to top 20 touches in a game and
is averaging 2.5 yards per carry through three weeks.
Tank Dell (60.7%) has solidified himself in three WR sets alongside
Nico Collins (66.1%) and Robert Woods (76.8%). Dell’s 24.1%
target share led all Texans receivers.
Travis Etienne played 71.2% of the snaps and logged 23 touches.
He remains a solid lead RB.
Ezekiel Elliott (37.5%) saw his biggest workload of the season
with 17 touches despite trailing Rhamondre Stevenson (65.3%) in
snap share. The two RBs combined for 35 carries.
The Jets offense is in bad shape with Zach Wilson at quarterback.
Garrett Wilson (96.8%) and Allen Lazard (96.8%) played virtually
all of the snaps with Wilson clocking a 32.1% target share.

Hall (49.2%) has 16 carries for 27 yards. Dalvin
Cook (25.4%) has 12 carries for 25 yards.
DEN @ MIA
Offensive Snaps Broncos: 62
Dolphins: 73
Marvin Mims continues to make big chunk plays on very little
usage. His snap share the first three weeks: 26.6%, 24.2%, 24.2%
and continues to play behind Courtland Sutton (95.2%), Jerry Jeudy
(75.8%) and Brandon Johnson (59.7%).
Adam Trautman played 87.1% of the snaps for the Broncos.
Both Raheem Mostert (50.7%) and Devon Achane (41.1%) ripped up
the Broncos defense, totaling… 8, eight, VIII touchdowns
combined. Both backs saw over 20 touches in the 70 to 20 beatdown
and combined for 375 rushing/receiving yards.
IND @ BAL
Offensive Snaps Colts: 84
Ravens: 72
This overtime game allowed both teams over 70 snaps.

managed 32 touches and 145 yards in Week 3. Trey Sermon was called
up from the practice squad and played 21.4% of the snaps.
Michael Pittman Jr. played every snap. Alec Pierce (96.4%) wasn’t
far behind. Pittman has double-digit targets in every game.
Another week, more injuries for the Ravens. Gus Edwards (44.4%)
left with a concussion, leaving Melvin Gordon (40.3%) and Kenyan Drake (15.3%) as the two healthy running backs.
Rookie Zay Flowers played the most snaps of any Ravens receiver
ahead of Rashod Bateman (69.4%) and Nelson Agholor (72.2%). Bateman
left with a hamstring injury.
CAR @ SEA

Seahawks: 75
The Panthers only use two running backs. Miles Sanders (64.6%)
and Chuba Hubbard (34.2%). Sanders has seen at least 5 targets
in each game.
Old man Adam Thielen (92.4%) is the dominant receiver in this
offense for now. He’s seen a 29.0% and 24.6% target share
the last two weeks.
The rotation between Najee Harris (50.0%) and Jaylen Warren (45.2%)
tightened this week but Najee still out-touched Warren 19 to 11.
Calvin Austin played 72.6% of the snaps as the Steelers third
wideout.
The Raiders passing game only has eyes for Davante Adams (97.2%)
and Jakobi Meyers (86.1%). The two combined for a 72.8% target
share and 20 catches.
PHI @ TB
Offensive Snaps Eagles: 80
Buccaneers: 47
D’Andre Swift
(53.8%) and Kenneth
Gainwell (46.2%) were the only running backs to play a snap
for the Eagles. Gainwell (15 touches) played in two-minute situations
which puts a cap on Swift’s upside. Swift was very efficient with
17 touches.
Rachaad White played on 91.5% of the snaps. Sean Tucker (8.5%)
was the only other running back to see a snap.
Trey Palmer (72.3%) was operating as the third receiver for the
Bucs but only saw 1 target compared to Deven Thompkins (21.3%)
who saw 4 targets.
LAR @ CIN
Offensive Snaps Rams: 55
Bengals: 77
The Rams struggled to move the ball against the Bengals but we
got another insane usage game from RB Kyren Williams who played
every snap. He played 95% of the snaps last week and now has 17
targets in the last two games.
The Rams tight receiver rotation continues with Puka Nacua (96.4%),
Tutu Atwell (87.3%) and Van Jefferson (92.7%). Atwell led the
group with a 28.1% target share.
