Player Usage Movers After Week 3 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 increases in snap count goes far enough. In reality, I am trying to use another metric (total involvement) to help identify players that are 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.

Week 4 Ranking Preview

Total Involvement

There is probably another name for this metric, and 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 games 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

Kenyan Drake on a bad team but it’s encouraging to see him get more playing time. It probably helps they weren’t getting blown out early.
Jamaal Williams benefited from an injury to Aaron Jones and has a tough matchup this week against the Eagles.
Joe Mixon is a good play this week given the performance of Mason Rudolph, assuming CIN’s defense shows up.

Wide Receiver

Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins are both benefitting from injuries to the Eagles WR. Alshon Jeffery should be back this week which might hurt Mack Hollins. Both drop too many passes.
Preston Williams had a ton of targets last game (12), the problem is, he plays for the Dolphins.
Phillip Dorsett had significantly more targets last game, likely the result of Edelman getting injured. If Edelman is out, his value increases

Tight Ends

Dawson Knox had a significant boost in playing time last week. If Tyler Kroft is out; he is startable.
