Snaps Per Minute Week 1_2

Snaps Per Minute Week 1_2 2017
Snaps Per Minute Weeks 1_ 2 covers players like running backs, wide receivers and tight ends in a team’s lineup. A majority of snaps are going to what players and which ones are in line to produce statistically weekly in fantasy football. The Snaps per Minute of Possession report will help you identify the early leaders for such production.
Team Level Snaps Per Minute
This is a data “snapshot” of each teams activities and speed of play. The Avg Team Snaps/Minute give insight into the team’s speed. A highly involved player on a fast team is worth knowing!
ARI, DAL, NE, BUF, CLE, HOU and NO are the Fastest NFL teams through week 2. Again key players in those teams are being given more opportunity. The slowest teams )NYJ, MIA, DET, BAL, LAR, ATL, OAK, and CAR certainly have key players but they must be more efficient to overcome the slow team pace. Players from slower teams that are highly ranked may be worth more than thought. Dynasty players take note here!
The Snap Report can be a positive indicator because it’s easier for players to score more when given the opportunity.
Conversely, the weekly ‘Snap Report’ can identify when players fall out of favor or when game flow or player movement occurs due to injuries.
It’s useful to compare the weekly snap leaders to rushing attempt leaders and target leaders to get a feel for how a player is used for fantasy football purposes. See other reports

Running Backs
RB Tops are Elliot, Montgomery, Ajayi and Miller! Clear targets for trades etc. The reverse are those RBs in the rear of this metric! Those are drop candidates
Tight Ends
Witten leads the pack. He has had a great last two weeks. 2.44 Snaps/Min vs Rudolph at 2.11. Big difference. If Witten can keep this up he can end up in the top seasonal TEs. Note Kittle for SFO! A surprising name in the top 4 TEs
Wide Receivers
Interesting group of top 4 WRs. Fitz and Bryant are future Hall of Famers but have underachieved so far. Search this list for bargains in trades and wavier wires etc.
