Opportunity Knocks: NFL Shares to Watch – Week 11

Dynasty / By

Opportunity is king in fantasy football. Tracking player volume and snaps each season helps managers get ahead of coaching trends while making advanced moves on the trade market and waiver wires. In this recurring weekly series, we will look at all 32 teams’ most notable market shares (percentage of team output) in targets, opportunities, and rushing/receiving production. With Week 10 in the rearview, let’s dive into some exciting usage data around the NFL as we prepare for the upcoming slate of games.

Arizona Cardinals

  • Rondale Moore recorded a career-high target share of 35.1 (13 TGT), leading the Cardinals with 97.0% of the offensive snaps (66).
  • DeAndre Hopkins saw one more target than Moore, recording a 37.8% target share on 94.0% of the offensive snaps (64).
  • Kyler Murray was sidelined with a hip injury, allowing Colt McCoy to get his first start of the 2022 season. McCoy completed 26/37 [ass attempts for 238 yards and one touchdown.
  • James Conner saw a season-high 21 rushing attempts, totaling 69 yards and two touchdowns.
  • In a surprise move, the Cardinals released running back Eno Benjamin. The former Arizona State product was acquired by the Texans via waivers.
  • Zach Ertz suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 10.
  • The return of Marquise Brown is imminent and fast approaching. The issuance of opportunities will surely look different than they have in recent weeks.

Atlanta Falcons

  • Cordarrelle Patterson was removed from injured reserve, making an immediate impact with two touchdowns in Week 9. The Falcons were much more conservative with Patterson on a short turnaround for Thursday Night Football in Week 10. Patterson played 38.0% (24) of the offensive snaps, garnering five carries (22.7 RSH%) for 18 yards. Patterson caught his lone target for a two-yard gain.
  • Rookie running back Tyler Allgeier topped Patterson with a 48.0% snap share (30), tallying 20 rushing yards on eight attempts (36.4 RSH%).
  • Kyle Pitts led the Falcons with eight targets (26.7%) but netted just two receptions for 28 yards
  • Drake London mirrored Pitts with a similarly disappointing yardage total (38 REC YDS), catching five of six targets (20.0%). London was, however, able to find the endzone for his third touchdown of the year. three passes for 23 yards.
  • Damiere Byrd led the Falcons with 58 receiving yards on three receptions. Byrd saw four targets (13.3%) on a 48.0% snap share (30).

Baltimore Ravens (BYE WEEK)

Buffalo Bills

  • Josh Allen has thrown multiple interceptions in three consecutive contests. Allen and the Bills fell short of defeating the Vikings in a game-of-the-year candidate in Week 10. The Bills quarterback completed 29/43 pass attempts for 330 yards and one touchdown while leading the team in rushing with 84 yards on eight attempts.
  • Stefon Diggs led the Bills with an absurd total of 16 targets (37.2%), catching 12 for 128 yards.
  • Gabriel Davis led the wide receivers with a 93.0% snap count (70). Davis recorded a 20.9% target share (9 TGT). He managed a well-rounded receiving slash of six receptions for 93 yards and one touchdown.
  • Devin Singletary dominated the Bills’ backfield usage with a 72.0% snap share (54) and a 65.0% rushing share (13 RSH), tallying 47 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Singletary also saw two targets (4.7%), catching one for a net gain of zero yards.
  • Dawson Knox played 81.0% of the offensive snaps, recording six targets (14.0%). Knox is a boom-or-bust streaming option that is dependent on touchdown production for fantasy relevance.

Carolina Panthers

  • P.J. Walker completed 10/16 pass attempts for 108 yards, adding 14 rushing yards on three carries. Walker will miss the Panthers’ next contest with an ankle sprain, clearing the way for Baker Mayfield to get the start at quarterback.
  • D’Onta Foreman rushed for 118 yards in back-to-back contests but fell flat in Week 9, tallying 23 yards on seven attempts (46.7 RSH%). Foreman bounced back in a big way in Week 10, posting 130 rushing yards and one touchdown on 31 carries (73.8 RSH%).
  • Chuba Hubbard is nothing more than a supplementary option at this juncture. Hubbard played just 12 snaps (18.0%), earning five carries (11.9 RSH%) with no targets. 
  • D.J. Moore and Terrace Marshall played equal snaps with 59 (89.0%) apiece. Moore tripled Marshall’s target total, earning six targets (37.5%) compared to Marshall’s two targets (12.5%). 
  • Laviska Shenault found the endzone on a 42-yard touchdown run. Shenault played 39.0% of the offensive snaps (26), earning four targets (25.0%).

Chicago Bears

  • Justin Fields showcased his game-altering athleticism against a middling Lions defense. The Bears’ second-year quarterback rushed 13 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns, cementing himself in the top-10 single-game rushing performances for a quarterback for the second straight week in a row. The rising star now owns the seventh and first overall spot for quarterback rushing output in a regular season game. Fields still needs to develop as a passer, completing 12/20 attempts for 167 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Week 10.
  • Let this be your weekly reminder that Khalil Herbert is better than David Montgomery but the Bears do not seem to care. Montgomery was gifted an undeserving snap share of 66.0% (40) with a 47.5% rushing share (9 RSH). The Bears starting back recorded 37 rushing yards and seven receiving yards.
  • Herbert was given 23 snaps (38.0%) with ten carries (52.6 RSH%), recording more rushing attempts than Montgomery for the first time this season. The Bears were getting wise to the dreadful inefficiencies of Montgomery but it appears to be too late.
  • Unfortunately, Herbert will no longer have an opportunity to verify the above sentiments as he was recently placed on injured reserve, missing a minimum of four games.
  • Darnell Mooney led the Bears wide receivers in snap percentage (87.0%) and target share (20.0%). Mooney finished with four receptions for 57 yards.
  • Chase Claypool was surprisingly phased out of the game plan, playing fewer snaps with fewer targets than in Week 9. Claypool was given a 31.0% snap share (19), earning just two targets (10.0%).
  • Cole Kmet led all members of the offense with a 93.0% snap share (57), earning a team-high 35.0% target share (7 TGT). He caught four passes for 74 yards and two touchdowns, marking the best game of his young career.

Cincinnati Bengals (BYE WEEK)

Cleveland Browns 

  • Donovan Peoples-Jones recorded his best game of the 2022 season in Week 10, earning a team-high nine targets (25.7%) with five receptions for 99 yards. Peoples-Jones also led the team with an 88.0% snap share (59), playing one more snap than Amari Cooper (58).
  • Cooper was shut down by the Dolphins’ secondary, earning just three targets (8.6%). Cooper caught all three of his opportunities for 32 yards.
  • Rookie wide receiver David Bell recorded season-highs in both snap percentage (52.0%) and target share (14.3%). Bell caught three passes for 24 yards in the Browns’ loss.
  • Nick Chubb has long-surpassed Kareem Hunt in what used to be a backfield-by-committee. Chubb played 48.0% of the offensive snaps (32), recording a 64.7% rushing share (11 RSH) and a surprising 11.4% target share (4 TGT).
  • Hunt, on the other hand, played just 24 snaps (36.0%) with six carries (35.3%) and one target (2.9%). Hunt managed a mere 19 scrimmage yards (9 RSH YDS/10 REC YDS) with his opportunities.

Dallas Cowboys 

  • Tony Pollard is a plug-and-play, high-upside, guaranteed RB1 whenever he is the starter. Pollard tallied 128 scrimmage yards (115 RSH YDS/13 REC YDS) on 25 touches (22 RSH/3 REC) with one touchdown in Week 10. The Cowboys running back played 81.0% of the offensive snaps (72) with an 81.5% rushing share (22 RSH) and 13.0% target share (6 TGT).
  • CeeDee Lamb went ballistic against a very difficult matchup against the Packers. Lamb caught 11 of his season-high 15 targets (32.6%) for 150 yards and two touchdowns, finishing as the WR1 overall in Week 10.
  • Michael Gallup has finally surpassed Noah Brown in the pecking order. Gallup backed Lamb with an 83.0% snap share (69) and 15.2% target share (7).
  • Dalton Schultz has fought through adversity this season, returning to relevance with multiple high-end TE1 performances since reuniting with Dak Prescott. Schultz caught six of eight targets (17.4%) for 54 yards and one touchdown while playing 74.0% of the offensive snaps (63).

Denver Broncos

  • The only thing Russell Wilson is capable of cooking is the hopes and dreams of Broncos fans. Wilson completed 21/42 pass attempts for 286 yards with one interception to match his lonely touchdown.
  • Jerry Jeudy was held out of the contest due to injury, allowing Courtland Sutton to take over as the leading wide receiver. Sutton caught six of 11 targets (26.2%) for 66 yards.
  • Kendall Hinton surprisingly led the Broncos in snaps sans Jeudy. Hinton recorded a 96.0% snap share (77), earning five targets (11.9%).
  • Jalen Virgil took his first and only target of the 2022 season to the house for 66 yards and six points.
  • Greg Dulcich did not meet the expectations proposed by his positive matchup in Week 10. Nevertheless, the rookie tight end continues to boast encouraging usage stats. Dulcich played 89.0% of the offensive snaps (71), marking a new career high for the young tight end.
  • The Broncos’ backfield is a mess of aging irrelevance. Latavius Murray (9 RSH/3 TGT/25 Snaps), Melvin Gordon (7 RSH/6 TGT/43 Snaps), and Chase Edmonds (2 RSH/2 TGT/18 Snaps) from a three-headed committee.

Detroit Lions

  • The Lions are protecting D’Andre Swift with bubble wrap, slowly nursing him back to health with limited exposure to danger. Swift played a mere 19 snaps (31.0%), earning six carries (23.1 RSH%) and three targets (11.5%).
  • Jamaal Williams and Justin Jackson shouldered the early-down workload. Williams played 40.0% of the offensive snaps (25) with a 51.5% rushing share (16 RSH). Jackson recorded 17 snaps (27.0%) with four rushing attempts (15.4 RSH%), matching Swift with three targets (11.5%).
  • Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymonds each played 82.0% of the offensive snaps (51). St. Brown led the Lions with 11 targets (42.3%), catching all but one (10 REC) for 119 yards.
  • No other member of the Lions’ offense recorded more than three receptions, three targets, or 50 receiving yards.

Green Bay Packers

  • The Packers walked away with the first victory of their last five contests, trumping a talented Cowboys team in a nail-biting overtime win. 
  • Aaron Rodgers looked like his former MVP-winning self for the first time this season, completing 14/20 pass attempts for 224 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, leading the Packers back from a two-score deficit.
  • Christian Watson was the leading wideout and a major contributor to the Packers’ comeback. The Packers’ second-round rookie receiver broke out in a big way in Week 10, catching four of eight targets (40.0%) for 107 yards and three touchdowns. Watson played a career-high 54 snaps (85.2%) with a team-high 86.4% route participation rating.
  • Allen Lazard played second fiddle to the rookie, earning four targets (20.0%) despite a 98.0% snap share (63).
  • Aaron Jones has left A.J. Dillon in the dust as he pulls away with the lion’s share of the Packers’ backfield opportunities. Jones played 70.0% of the offensive snaps (45), garnering a 64.9% rushing share (24 RSH) with two targets (10.0%). Jones tallied 156 scrimmage yards (138 RSH YDS/18 REC YDS) with one touchdown.
  • Dillon played just 24 snaps (38.0%) with 13 carries (35.1%) and no targets. Dillon’s rushing opportunities led to 65 yards.

Houston Texans

  • Dameon Pierce continues to be the focal point of the Texans’ offense, recording 122 scrimmage yards (94 RSH YDS/28 REC YDS) on 19 touches (17 RSH/2 REC).
  • Brandin Cooks returned after a one-game absence but appears to have lost his leading role to Nico Collins. Cooks earned seven targets (18.9%) on a 64.0% snap share (41).
  • Collins, on the other hand, recorded a team-high 78.0% of the offensive snaps (50) with a career-best 10 targets (27.0%).
  • Both receivers fell behind Jordin Akins (3 REC/72 REC YDS) and Chris Moore (3 REC/70 REC YDS) in terms of production. 

Indianapolis Colts

  • Jeff Saturday was made the interim head coach in a head-scratching hire after the organization fired Frank Reich. Saturday silenced the critics by beating the Raiders in his first game calling the shots.
  • Matt Ryan was named the starter under Saturday’s reign, completing 21/28 pass attempts for 222 yards and one touchdown. 
  • Jonathan Taylor looked in peak condition, posting 147 rushing yards and one touchdown on 22 carries (84.6 RSH%) and 61 snaps (94.0%).
  • Michael Pittman led the team with a 97.0% snap share (63), tying Parris Campbell with nine targets (32.1%). Pittman caught seven passes for 53 yards.

  • Mo Alie-Cox played 40 snaps (62.0%) but was not targeted.
  • Kylen Granson played only 30 snaps (46.0%) but was targeted four times (14.3%), catching all of his targets for 57 yards.

Jacksonville Jaguars

  • Travis Etienne surpassed 100 scrimmage yards for five consecutive contests but fell short of that mark in Week 10. He earned a 78.0% snap share (50), 91.7% rushing share (11 RSH), and 7.5% target share (3 TGT), tallying 73 scrimmage yards (45 RSH YDS/28 REC YDS) on 14 touches (11 RSH/3 REC).
  • Christian Kirk led the Jaguars with 12 targets (30.0%), catching nine for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Zay Jones led the team with a 94.0% snap share(60), earning ten targets (25.0%). Jones totaled eight receptions for 68 yards.
  • Evan Engram has been hot and cold all season. Engram played 88.0% of the snaps (56), earning four targets (10.0%). He managed 14 yards on three receptions.

Kansas City Chiefs

  • JuJu Smith-Schuster was riding a wave of three consecutive games as a top-10 wide receiver in PPR scoring coming into Week 10. Smith-Schuster had that streak ended by a brutal collision that knocked him out of the contest. His question for Week 11 is questionable as he remains in concussion protocol. 
  • Kadarius Toney saw an increase in usage and production following Smith-Schuster’s departure. Toney played 44.0% of the offensive snaps (28), earning five targets (14.3%). Toney recorded four receptions for 57 yards and one touchdown.
  • Travis Kelce’s usage surprisingly remained unaffected by the injury to his teammate. Kelce led the team with six receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown but did not lead the Chiefs in targets. Kelce tallied seven targets (20.0%) in Week 10.
  • Jerrick McKinnon unsuspectingly led the Chiefs with eight targets (22.9%) out of the backfield with a 38.0% snap share (24).
  • Clyde Edwards-Helaire played a season-low 17 snaps in Week 9. In Week 10, the former LSU product was phased out of the game plan entirely,
  • Isiah Pacheco has seemingly cemented himself as the Chiefs leading back, recording 35 snaps (56.0%) and a season-high 16 carries (94.1%) for 82 yards.

Las Vegas Raiders 

  • The Raiders’ record fell to 2-7 after yet another tough loss, this time at the hands of the Jeff Saturday-led Colts
  • Derek Carr had a respectable outing on paper, completing 24/38 pass attempts for 248 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Davante Adams was the go-to target, recording nine receptions for 126 yards with one touchdown on a team-high 36.8% target share (14 TGT).
  • Mack Hollins led the team with a 96.0% snap share (67), earning six targets (15.8%).
  • Josh Jacobs was afforded his usual workload, amassing 21 carries (91.3 RSH%) and eight targets (21.1%). Jacobs posted 106 scrimmage yards (78 RSH YDS/28 REC YDS).
  • Foster Moreau filled in as the starting tight end for an injured Darren Waller. Moreau played 96.0% of the offensive snaps (67) with four targets (10.5%). Moreau caught three passes for 42 yards and one touchdown.

Los Angeles Chargers

  • Justin Herbert’s rib injury from Week 2 has been hindering him much more than the Chargers organization is leading us to believe. Herbert completed 21/35 pass attempts for 196 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
  • Austin Ekeler has become Herbert’s favorite target with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams sidelined. Ekeler saw a team-high 12 targets (32.4%), tallying 63 scrimmage yards (24 RSH YDS/39 REC YDS) on 13 touches (6 RSH/7 REC).
  • Josh Palmer is acting as the Chargers’ defacto WR1 due to the previously mentioned injuries. Palmer earned eight targets (21.6%) on a team-high snap count (95.0%).

Los Angeles Rams

  • John Wolford got the start at quarterback as Matthew Stafford was held out of the game with a concussion. Wolford completed a woeful 24/36 pass attempts for 212 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
  • Cooper Kupp was placed on injured reserve after a severe high-ankle sprain that requires reparative surgery. Kupp saw five targets (13.5%) with three receptions for a net loss of negative one yard.
  • Ben Skowronek replaced Kupp, topping the wide receiver depth chart with seven targets (18.9%) and 59 snaps (98.0%). Skowronek manages just two receptions for 14 yards despite a season-high in usage.
  • Tyler Higbee was utilized as the team’s leading pass-catcher, tallying eight receptions on eight targets (21.6%) for 73 yards.
  • Allen Robinson remained stagnant in his secondary role, playing 55 snaps (92.0%) with six targets (16.2%).
  • Managers cannot trust any member of the Rams’ backfield for consistent production at the running back position.

Miami Dolphins

  • Tua Tagovailoa diced up the Browns’ defense, completing 25/32 pass attempts for 285 yards and three touchdowns. Tua completed passes to eight different receivers without targeting any one player more than six times.
  • Tyreek Hill led the team with six targets (18.2%) on a 71.0% snap share (49), catching five passes for 44 yards and one touchdown.
  • Jaylen Waddle caught four of five targets (15.2%) for 66 yards while playing 74.0% of the offensive snaps (51).
  • Durham Smythe (37 Snaps) and Mike Gesicki (32 Snaps) split time at tight end. Gesicki was the only one to record any receiving stats, catching two passes for 31 yards on three targets (9.1%).
  • In Week 10, Jeff Wilson shouldered 61.0% of the offensive snaps (42), earning 5 targets (15.2%) and 17 carries (60.7 RSH%).
  • Raheem Mostert, on the other hand, saw 28.0% of the offensive snaps (19) with 8 carries (28.6 RSH%) and 4 targets (12.1%).

Minnesota Vikings

  • The Vikings improved to 8-1 and now sit atop the NFC, tied with the Eagles for the best record in the NFL.
  • Kirk Cousins attempted 50 passes in the Vikings’ overtime win, completing 30 attempts for 357 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.
  • Justin Jefferson played 100.0 of the offensive snaps (83), topping all members of the offense with 16 targets (32.0%). He recorded ten receptions for 193 yards and one touchdown. Jefferson put a stamp on his emphatic performance with one of the greatest one-hand catches you will ever see.
  • Adam Thielen saw ten targets (14.0%) on a 94.0% snap share (78). Thielen caught five passes for 49 yards.
  • T.J. Hockenson has been utilized as a premier receiving threat since being traded to the Vikings from the Lions. Hockenson made an instantaneous impact on the offense in Week 9, catching all nine of his targets (22.0%) for 70 yards. He continued that high-output role in Week 10, catching seven of ten targets (14.0%) for 45 yards.
  • K.J. Osborn saw a season-high 11 targets (22.0%) on a 78.0% snap share (65). Osborn caught four passes for 35 yards.

New England Patriots (BYE WEEK)

New Orleans Saints

  • Andy Dalton received his seventh start as a member of the Saints, throwing for 174 yards on 17/27 passing attempts with one touchdown and two interceptions on a disastrous day against a weak Steelers defense.
  • Dalton will reportedly continue his reign as the starting quarterback despite his incompetence and fellow quarterback Jameis Winston clearing the injury report.
  • Taysom Hill saw snaps under center, at running back, slot receiver, out wide, tight end, and on special teams against the Steelers. Hill attempted one pass that went incomplete. He rushed three times for 1 yard and did not receive a single target in the passing game.
  • Alvin Kamara played 79.0% of the offensive snaps (37), earning four targets (14.3%). Kamara rushed eight times (88.9 RSH%) for 26 yards, adding 19 yards on three receptions.

  • Chris Olave earned five targets (17.9%) on a 77.0% snap share (36). The Saints’ rookie recorded three receptions for 40 yards.
  • For the second week in a row, Juwan Johnson scored the team’s only touchdown. Johnson played 66.0% of the offensive snaps, earning a team-high seven targets (25.0%). He caught five passes for 44 yards and a score.

New York Giants

  • Saquon Barkley smashed through the Texans’ defense with a season-high 35 carries (85.4 RSH%) for 152 yards and one touchdown. Barkley played 80.0% of the offensive snaps (55).
  • Darius Slayton has propelled himself into a role as the Giants leading wide receiver. Slayton earned four targets (23.5%), catching three for 95 yards and one touchdown. He led the Giants receivers with an 80.0% snap share.
  • Rookie wideout Wan’Dale Robinson played 75.0% of the team’s snaps but saw only two targets (11.4%). Robinson secured both his targets for 20 yards but lost five yards on his only rush attempt.
  • Daniel Jones completed an efficient 13/17 pass attempts for 197 yards and two touchdowns while adding 24 yards on five carries.

New York Jets (BYE WEEK)

Philadelphia Eagles

  • The heavily favored Eagles lost their first game of the season, dropping to 8-1 after an unsuspecting defeat at the hands of the Commanders in a battle between NFC East rivals.
  • Jalen Hurts completed 17/26 pass attempts for 175 yards and two touchdowns, adding 28 rushing yards and another touchdown on six carries. Hurts committed one turnover.
  • A.J. Brown exited briefly with a hamstring injury only to be used as a decoy from there on out. Brown caught one of four targets (15.4%) for seven yards on a 78.0% snap share (39).
  • DeVonta Smith caught six of his eight targets (30.8%) for a lowly 39 yards and one touchdown while leading the wide receiver group with an 89.0% snap share (58)
  • Miles Sanders recorded 54 rushing yards on 12 carries (85.7 RSH%).
  • Dallas Goedert was placed on injured reserve following the loss.

Pittsburgh Steelers

  • The Steelers’ offense did not need much production in order to beat the Saints in Week 10.
  • Kenny Pickett completed 18/30 pass attempts for 199 yards with no touchdowns while absorbing six sacks.
  • Najee Harris garnered 99 rushing yards on 22 carries (69.0 RSH%) but continues to concede valuable playing time to Jaylen Warren (36 Snaps/9 RSH/3 TGT).
  • Diontae Johnson was the team’s leading wideout against the Saints, catching four of five targets (16.7%) for 63 yards (16.7%) on a 92.0% snap share (77).
  • George Pickens has not increased his playing time even though Chase Claypool is no longer in the fold. Pickens played 75.0% of the offensive snaps (63) with four targets (13.3%).
  • Pat Freiermuth is the Steelers’ top receiver, evident by his team-high seven targets (23.3%) despite playing just 69.0% of the offensive snaps (58).

San Francisco 49ers

  • Elijah Mitchell surprisingly handled more carries than Christian McCaffrey. Mitchell took 18 carries (56.2 RSH%) for 89 yards compared to McCaffrey who saw 14 carries (43.8%) for just 38 yards. McCaffrey did, however, earn a 21.4% target share (6 TGT) and was the benefactor of a late touchdown.
  • Brandon Aiyuk is coming into his own as the 49ers’ top receiving threat. Aiyuk led the team with seven targets (25.0%), catching six for 84 yards. His only missed target was an inexcusable dropped touchdown that hit both of his hands.
  • Deebo Samuel matched McCaffrey with six targets (21.4%) but only caught two passes for 24 yards.
  • George Kittle played 100.0% of the offensive snaps but was utilized in his blocking role rather than as a receiver. Kittle caught his only target for an angry 21 yards.

Seattle Seahawks

  • Kenneth Walker III shocked the world with an impressive showing in the receiving department. The Seahawks rookie running back had more receiving production (6 REC/8 TGT/55 YDS) in Week 10 than in his first two years at Wake Forest combined. The downside to that production was that Walker managed just 17 rushing yards on ten carries (1.7 YPC).
  • D.K. Metcalf led the team with nine targets (27.3%), catching six for 71 yards on a 90.0% snap share (47).
  • Tyler Lockett saw an identical snap share to Metcalf (90.0%), earning five targets (15.2%) in the Seahawks’ loss. Lockett caught three passes for 42 yards and one touchdown.
  • Geno Smith completed 23/33 pass attempts for 275 yards and two touchdowns. Smith led the Seahawks in rushing, needing just 22 yards on four carries to accomplish the lowly feat.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Tom Brady and the Buccaneers defeated the above-mentioned Seahawks on foreign soil, toppling their NFC conference rivals 21-16 in Germany.
  • Brady completed 22/29 pass attempts for 258 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
  • The changing of the guard in the Buccaneers’ backfield was foreshadowed in Week 9 when Rachaad White received more rushing opportunities than running back cohort Leonard Fournette. Those past assumptions manifested in Week 10 where the rookie handled 22 carries (57.9%) for 105 yards (10.5 PPR PTS) as opposed to Fournette’s 15 total touches (14 RSH/1 REC) for 58 scrimmage yards (57 RSH YDS/1 REC YDS) and one touchdown.
  • White played 64.0% of the offensive snaps (48) whereas Fournette saw a season-low in playing time, recording 29.0% of the offensive snaps (22) before exiting with an injury.
  • The surprising stat in Week 10, or lack thereof, was White’s goose egg in the receiving columns. A premier pass-catcher, White was surprisingly utilized as the every-down rusher, earning zero targets in the passing game. The Buccaneers’ rookie running back has the potential to be a league-winning asset if his ever-growing opportunity share bleeds into Fournette’s receiving work. 
  • Chris Godwin found the endzone for the first time this season, catching six of eight targets (26.7%) for 71 yards and one touchdown.
  • Julio Jones shockingly scored a touchdown as well, playing a season-high 38 snaps (51.0%) with five targets (16.7%).
  • Mike Evans was sandwiched between his two teammates with a mediocre target share of 20.0% (6 TGT) and 73.0% snap share (55).

Tennessee Titans

  • Derrick Henry was bottled up by the Broncos’ defense in Week 10. The King touted 19 rushing attempts (95.0 RSH%) for 53 yards on a 58.0% snap share (36).
  • Ryan Tannehill returned from a two-game absence, completing 19/36 attempts for 255 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was the recipient of both touchdowns, catching five of eight targets (22.2%) for 115 yards and his aforementioned pair of scores.
  • Robert Woods played 81.0% of the offensive snaps, earning seven targets (19.4%). Woods managed just two receptions for ten yards despite his opportunities.
  • First-round rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks was activated from injured reserve in Week 10. Burks played 56.0% of the offensive snaps, catching three of six targets (16.7%) for 24 yards.

Washington Commanders

  • Taylor Heinicke made his fourth start of the 2022 season, completing 17/29 pass attempts for 211 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception while displacing the Eagles from their undefeated throne.
  • Terry McLaurin recorded his best game of the 2022 season, catching eight of 11 targets (37.9%) for 128 yards.
  • Curtis Samuel caught two of his four targets (13.8%) for 28 yards.
  • Rookie wideout Jahan Dotson returned from injured reserve but played just 41.0% of the offensive snaps (34) and saw only one target (3.4%).
