Player Usage Movers After Week 2 2019

What Is This Even About?

In this article, I am going to post the players that have an increase in snap count from their three-game average and also have an increase in their total involvement per snap compared to their three-game average.

I don’t feel like evaluating only increases in snap count movers doesn’t go far enough. In reality, I am trying to use another metric (total involvement) to help drill into people that might be worth a look in fantasy.

I am excluding QBs from this analysis because their usage isn’t as relevant. You know who the starters are going to be each week.

We have some other posts you might enjoy.

Total Involvement

There is probably another name for this metric; it is the player's total targets + rushing attempts. I use this to get the involvement per snap which is calculated by taking (targets + rushing attempts)/offensive snap count.

What Are These Metrics?

I had to abbreviate the names to make the table look nice on our blog.

Snap Count Per - Offensive snap count percentage
TGA Snap Count Per - Three game average snap count percentage
Snap Count - Offensive snap count
Inv Per Snap - Involvement per snap
TGA Inv Per Snap - Three games average involvement per snap
Total Inv - Receiving targets + rushing attempts
TGA Total Inv - Three game average receiving targets + rushing attempts
PPR Pts - PPR points scored

Running Backs

Peyton Barber is a polarizing player; his value is heavily tied to him being the feature back. It appears has a hold of RB1. Ronald Jones's usage tanked last week.
Raheem Mostert looks to benefit the most from Tevin Coleman’s injury, especially in PPR formats. Jeff Wilson is also in the table below. Wilson did vulture two TDs.

Wide Receiver

Nelson Agholor is a good play if Jackson and Jeffery are both out.
If Bennie Fowler keeps being used more and Jones develops a good rapport with him, he could pay dividends.
Demarcus Robinson had a huge game last week. If he keeps this up, he’ll be great value while Hill is out.
Damiere Byrd has 7 targets in both games this season. He could be good value in PPR if he continues to be involved in the “AIR RAID” offense

Tight Ends

Gerald Everett doesn’t get targeted enough to be worth a look
Vance McDonald could get a value boost from Rudolph. He had a large differential in snap count usage from last week.
