Week 9 Snaps Report

Week 9 Snaps Report. The use of this report for fantasy is multi-fold:

Team Speed vs. Passing or Rushing
Team Positional Usages (Teams variation in RB/TE/WR)
Player Snaps by Week
Changes in Player Snaps (Improve or Declines)
All this information aids in your Line-Ups and DFS plays in week 10

Week 9 Snaps Report Team Average SNAPs vs. Average Targets

Week 9 Snaps Report. The metrics below focus on a team’s speed and target production. I have seen trends of more targets in faster teams and fewer targets from slower teams.

I presented all team average snaps vs. their team targets and sorted the list by team speed. High Speed – Green while Low Speed – Red. Additionally, I tracked the team targets’ level using green X high targets vs. red Z low targets.

The top 7 fastest teams, DAL/CIN/PHI/LAR/LAC/ATL/ARI (Avg Snaps), contain 5/7 of the top targeting teams.

The rule-breaker teams of interest for further research. CAR/HOU/WAS seemed to be rule breakers with high targets but slower in speeds.

The faster teams should be a focus for acquiring deeper players, especially in PPR leagues, while slower teams are deep player avoidance. Rule of Thumb!

=================================

Targets vs. Team Snaps/Sec

Week 9 Snaps Report. The visual graph tracks the team speed and their team level targeting. The green line maps the average snaps per each team while the red line plots the team targets. The highest targeting teams are plotted to the left, moving to lower targeting teams to the right.

The pink line displays the league average in team average targets 4.1. As we look across the landscape, A majority of the fast teams also have higher targets as well. The slower teams on the left side have 5 teams low in targets (orange stars). MIN/CLE/MIA/NYG/BAL

I use these metrics to acquire deeper WRs in faster higher targeting teams!

Team Positional SNAP Usages, Speed, and Ratio of TE/RB and WR/RB.

Week 9 Snaps Report. I use these metrics to check the usage of all my players by positions. Am I ignoring the data and instead of using name recognition or last year’s result bias? Look to the extreme? Confirm with the Bar Graph to see the landscape of positional usages.

Additionally, I tracked the TE and WR Ratios vs. RB usages and highlighted the high ratios by green colorization and low by red. Remember, this is a beginning in your weekly process, and always notes the scoring levels.

Collect these team usage extremes and scan through your players. Trade for higher used players. DFS plays for week 10 should be modified using these metrics.

The Blocks of 4 Teams (Alphabetical) contain:

TEAM
POS RB/TE/WR
% of TEAM POS Snap Usages
Average of Snaps/Second of Offensive Play
The Ratio of %Usages vs. the RB Positions TE vs. RB and WR vs. RB. Stained for top 20% and bottom 20% League Average Ratios with Green and Red Shading and Numbering
Bar Graph for Visual Learning of all Team Positional Usages

———————————————————–

For example, Ratio Extremes in

BAL TE HIGH
ARI TE LOW
BUF RB HIGH
BUF TE WR LOW

I colorized these spots in the following Bar Graphs by green/red colorization and numbering.

Great for DFS in week 10 plays. Also, any kind of streaming to be used should include these metrics for final decisions.

Move to higher usages and away from lower usages. These are across the season and give a broad view of a team. Compare of course to last week’s data as well.

Player Level Snaps Weeks 4 to 9 Within Their Teams.

Week 9 Snaps Report. These tables contain:

Team
Position
Player
Weeks 4 to 9 Snaps – Green to Red
Season Snap Average – Blue to Red
LATE vs. EARLY – Weeks 7/8/9 vs. Weeks 4/5/6 Snaps vs. (Improve Positive Snap Increases? Decline Negative Numbers?) – Purple to Yellow
DIFF Snap Change in Last 2 Games Played – Purple to Yellow

Actionable metrics for trades, DFS plays, and Waiver Acquisitions or Drops. Moving to the higher used players is the suggested trend.

———————————————————–

DHOP still top in SNAPs

———————————————————–

Gurley > Hill – Handcuff

Gage is killing me Zacch seems to be > Gage when ridley is gone!

Players Recent Difference and Late vs Early Season Diffence Snaps

Week 9 Snaps Report. Use to confirm the player’s worth across the league within the position. Extremes in Recent Usages? and Late vs. Early?

Sorted by Position and Late vs. Early Differences. Key Improvement! I use it for DFS and Line-Ups. These differences are not so obvious. Consider these players if available.

These Blocks Include:

Team
Position
Player
Average Snaps 4 to 9 Weeks
Last 2 Weeks Played DIFF
Late 3 Weeks vs. First 3 Weeks DIFF

Team Level Player Snaps vs. Scoring Efficiency

Week 9 Snaps Report. These team level tables contain

Team
Position
Player
Scoring Efficiency Week 4 to 9 recent activity

Use to focus on scoring players with good snaps! However, note good snaps do not equal scoring in many cases. Dig deep! Metrics First Then Deep!

Use these metrics to value players for trades, add or drops, and DFS plays this week!
