RB Attempts and Touches Week 10
- Updated: November 17, 2018

By John Bush
RB Attempts and Touches Week 10
RB Attempts and Touches Week 10 report give s view of the RBs activity to this point in the season. Compare and contrast the data and envision this week’s game scripts by using all your resources including this one.
We are getting close to moving into the playoffs. These data can spot “new” RBs on the scene or coming back from injury. Stashing favorable handcuffs/next RB up players is a good idea. The improving RBs are a good source of potential acquisitions.

Team Rushing Attempts and Seasonal Averages_Highs vs Lows
This table presents each the Team’s average rushing attempts per player. The grand seasonal average is on the right column. Green vs Red for weekly highs to lows. The seasonal averages are colorized blue to red (high to low). The team names are colorized by the information in table 2 below which focuses us on the last 4 games rushing attempts. Recent data have a strong impact going forward than early season data.
- The top teams are in green: IND, NO, TEN, HOU, LAR, and CIN
- The bottom teams are MIA, KC, JAX, OAK, NE, and BAL. Concerns are present for these teams!
Last 4 Games Rushing Attempts vs DIFF (Recent vs Seasonal Averages).
I present an annotation of each team as to their rushing attempts in the last 4 recent games as well as the DIFF metric to find the improving teams (blue) vs declining (red).
I wish to think about why improving or declining? This quick table gives each team’s overall defenses fought against in the last 4 games. Does that explain the table’s data above?
BAL and CLE (Declining?) but they had the toughest last 4 games in the league.
NE, NYJ, LAC, and PHI (Declining?) but they had one of the easy defense averages to fight
Note NO, PIT and TEN had tough last 4 games yet improved in rushing attempts. I expect that trend to continue.
Team | DEF LAST 4 | Team | DEF LAST 4 | Team | DEF LAST 4 | ||
IND | Very Easy | DAL | Avg | LAR | Tough | ||
NYJ | Easy | MIN | Avg | PIT | Tough | ||
