      • Washington, a college WR listed at 217 pounds, took over as the top TE and played 21 of 25 snaps (84%) in the fourth quarter.
  • Meyers played every snap on offense en route to 6-83-1, his first time above two-thirds snap share since Week 11 (he's dealt with a concussion and shoulder injury the past month).
    • The TD
  • Bourne was targeted on nine of 21 routes and put up 6-100-1 but was only the No. 3 receiver in terms of playing time.

  • Nick Vannett and Marcus Johnson ran two routes apiece and Kenny Golladay ran one. Other than that, the four guys listed above handled all the WR/TE work, with the Giants going three-wide and leaning heavily on five skill-position players (including RB Saquon Barkley) again.
  • Hodgins saw five more targets (11) than his previous season high of six, and scored his third in the past four weeks (also his third game with 15-plus PPR points in that time).
  • James got three more targets (12) than his previous season high of nine, and topped 61 receiving yards (easily, 90) for the first time all year.
  • Daniel Jones attempted 42 passes, his second most of the year, completing 30 for 334 yards.
  • This was the sixth straight game with Slayton, Hodgins and James operating as the top three WRs and all handling full workloads. Their stats in that stretch:
    • Slayton: 28-478-1 on 44 tgts (20%)
    • James: 30-302-3 on 38 targets (18%)
    • Hodgins: 29-309-3 on 36 targets (17%)
      • The past three weeks, however, have seen James at 25%, Hodgins at 20% and Slayton at 16%... possibly just a sample size thing, but there might be something there.

  • Hockenson made it official that he, not Thielen, is the No. 2 option in Minnesota's passing game.
    • Hockenson has 22.3% target share (73 targets) and a 53-444-3 receiving line in eight games since joining the Vikings, while Thielen has only 15.2% target share (50 targets) and a 32-341-3 receiving line since the talented TE joined Minnesota.
      • Osborn has a 27-289-2 receiving line and 14% target share (46 tgts) since the Hock trade, though with more than half his fantasy points in a single, memorable game.
        • So much for my theory that he'd see more looks after his huge 10-157-1 outing. Osborn was targeted four times on 40 routes, while Hock and JJ saw 16 apiece.

  • Zylstra scored three TDs but on only 50% route share and 43% snap share while sharing work with Wright and Mitchell again.
    • Zylstra could get more work because of it but likely remains in a timeshare of sorts.

  • Cooper had a long gain to convert a fourth down in the first half, only to drop a wide-open TD while slipping in the end zone a couple minutes later. He nearly had a big day despite the brutal weather, while DPJ and Njoku simply got shut down.
  • Bell was targeted only twice but did finish with career highs for both snap and route share.

  • Rodgers had a 37-yard catch that was key to the rally, but he was a distant fourth in routes behind Dorsett, who also was efficient with his limited chances.
  • TE Teagan Quitoriano suffered a knee injury in the first half and missed the rest of the game, which allowed Akins to take on 64% route share (up from 40% the week before)

  • The four listed above were the only WR/TEs on the team to run more than two routes. The Commanders have kept a tight rotation most of the year, and that was especially true the past couple weeks in games crucial to the wild-card hunt.
  • Dotson ran five more routes than Samuel and saw four more targets, again working as the No. 2 receiver and this time putting up 7-76-1 on a team-high nine looks.

  • Schultz was targeted only four times but topped 80% route share for a second straight week.
  • Hilton ran only five routes in his Cowboys debut but caught a 52-yard pass on 3rd-and-30, ICYMI. He could take more snaps from Brown down the stretch here, or perhaps in the playoffs.

  • Adams has joined Stefon Diggs in slumping at the worst possible time amidst an otherwise fantastic season. 2-15-0 on nine targets... yikes.
  • Waller made the most of his chances but split work with Moreau again, running a route on only 46% of Derek Carr's dropbacks (down from 66% the week before).
  • Renfrow scored his first TD of the season and saw his second most targets of the year.

  • Freiermuth's snap/route shares rebounded and he led the team with targets, after only 56% snap share and 70% route share the week before when he saw zero targets.
    • In this one the TE ran 36 routes, only two fewer than Johnson.
  • Pickens scored the crucial TD and caught each of his five targets for 57 yards.
  • Sims was the No. 3 receiver again, and again was lightly targeted (once on 23 routes).
  • Johnson now has four games in a row with at least five catches for 60-plus yards, and three in a row with 9.1 YPT or better.

  • While some teams are tightening their rotations as they fight for wild-card spots, the Packers instead had eight different WR/TEs running more than a handful of routes, deploying a four-man timeshare at TE.
  • Christian Watson was targeted eight times on 18 routes in the first half, then missed the second half with a hip injury.
    • Doubs took 83% of snaps after halftime and caught two of three targets for 34 yards.

  • This was a strange game where Tua Tagovailoa had only 25 pass attempts but 310 yards and three interceptions (very Madden-esque, apart from the normal-ish 64 percent completion).
    • That'll happen when you have Hill and Waddle making explosive plays; in this one Waddle scored a 78-yard TD with about 50 yards of YAC and the speedy Hill keeping pace to block.
  • Workloads were the same as the past couple games, essentially. The big news is that Tua Tagovailoa is back in concussion protocol and may not be available for a difficult Week 17 road matchup at New England.

  • Sutton handled 88% route share in his first game back from a hamstring injury.
    • He played 91% of snaps through three quarters, before the Broncos eased up on him late in the blowout.
    • Jeudy, on the other hand, stayed involved deep into garbage time en route to 6-117-0.
      • Jeudy has three straight games with at least six catches and 73 yards since returning to a full-time role after his ankle injury.
  • Dulcich played 86% of snaps through three quarters but then suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter and missed the rest of the game.
    • Dulcich missed the first month of the season with a hammy, FWIW
    • Saubert wasn't targeted but got more playing time in the fourth quarter after taking only nine snaps (26%) through three quarters.
  • Swain worked as the No. 3 WR with Kendall Hinton (hamstring) out again, drawing two targets on 30 routes.

  • QB Baker Mayfield completed 24 of 28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns, with Cam Akers adding three additional TDs.
    • Higbee scored both TDs and was targeted on half his routes. All three of his TDs this season have come in the past two games, and he's now averaging 5-44-1 on 6.3 targets in Mayfield's three starts.
  • Hopkins, the No. 2 TE, was the other guy with a big game, while the WRs were held to short gains and only saw 10 targets total.

  • Otton finished with only 12 yards, but he ran 37 routes while Tampa's other tight ends combined for six (four for Cameron Brate).
  • Not that the Bucs have the luxury of chasing stats this year... but Evans needs 83 yards over the final two weeks to maintain his streak of 1,000-yard seasons (8-for-8 so far).
  • Gage played ahead of Jones, who returned after missing the previous game with a knee injury and had a late TD wiped out by an illegal motion penalty.
    • Gage put up 5-65-0 on six targets, after 8-59-2 on 12 looks the week before.

    • Dortch played 75% of snaps, after 10 snaps and zero targets over the previous two games combined.
      • Three games prior, however, he took 93% of snaps and caught nine of 10 targets for 103 yards. And back in the first three weeks of the season he put up 7-63-0, 4-55-1 and 9-80-0. 
      • The 24-year-old journeyman can play; maybe this will convince the Cardinals to keep him as their slot man for Weeks 17-18 (and beyond?)
  • Trace McSorley connected with Hopkins once on 10 targets.... and it was pretty much all McSorley's fault.

  • Allen and Austin Ekeler were the only Chargers with more than four targets, while Williams got by on efficiency (4-76-0).
  • Allen has seen exactly 14 targets in three of his past four games and is now averaging 11.0 per week since returning from the hamstring injury.
    • 8.2 YPT would be his best mark since 2018 if he sustains it.

    • Woods had a huge game last time Granson was out, while MAC barely played. Woods did better again this time, but with a much more even split of snaps/routes.
