Advanced NFL Snap Counts Report Week 8

November 1, 2022 Scott Atkins

Snap counts tell us who is playing but they don’t always paint a clear picture of who is producing for our fantasy football lineups. By digging deep into the NFL Snap Counts Report Week 8, we are able to pull […]

NFL Snap Counts Frequently Asked Questions

What are NFL snap counts?

Snap counts represent the total number of offensive plays a player participated in during a given week.

Why should I care about NFL snap counts?

The number of times a player is on the field for a player can be incredibly useful. It helps track usage, and how players are used and provide fantasy football managers with the ability to look beyond the usual on-field production by adding context to those more traditional statistics.

How are your NFL snap-count numbers compiled?

NFL snap counts are tracked by the NFL Game Statistics and Information System (GSIS). For the last two years, each player has had a chip inserted in his shoulder pads so that radio transmitters in stadiums can track his every move on the field. This is how the GSIS compiles snap counts (and other on-field information).

How can I use NFL snap counts to leverage my success in fantasy football?

Understanding playing time can be a key factor in setting your weekly lineup. In particular, understanding and identifying trends that might give you an early jump on acquiring free agents or making trades for players who might quietly be gaining playing time.

What are the possible drawbacks to using NFL snap counts as part of my fantasy football lineup strategy?

As FantasyPros recently noted, studying snap counts and the percentage of snaps played is one of the easiest ways that we can determine one of the most basic, but important questions for potential fantasy success: Is this player even on the field often enough to make a difference? That said, NFL snap counts only outline playing time, and being on the field is only the first step to fantasy relevance. It’s not the only step. Don’t emphasize snap counts over production.

The Snap Counts report and tool is invaluable in breaking down what’s happening behind the numbers.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 9

October 31, 2022 Jody Smith

We are now officially into the second half of the 2022 fantasy season. The playoffs are rapidly approaching, making these mid-season tilts must-win games. Our Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 9 will help you improve those odds during this brutal […]

It’s hard to believe how quickly the 2022 season is flying by. Further complicating matters is the arrival of those pesky bye weeks. That places added importance on the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 9.

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 9, with FAAB recommendations.

Week 9 byes: Browns, Cowboys, Broncos, Giants, Steelers, 49ers

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

 

Devin Duvernay (WR) Baltimore Ravens (10% FAAB) – Despite having five total touchdowns so far in 2022, Duvernay is still un-rostered in close to 70% of ESPN leagues. Although volume is a concern, that is mitigated somewhat by the news that Rashod Bateman re-injured his foot and could miss a month. That makes Duvernay Baltimore’s unquestioned No. 1 wideout. Also, it makes adding him to your roster the top priority ahead of this week’s matchup with New Orleans.

Josh Palmer (WR) Los Angeles Chargers (6% FAAB) – Mike Williams is expected to miss at least four weeks. That means Palmer will be the No. 2 wide receiver in a Chargers’ offense that ranks 4th in passing. No. 1 WR Keenan Allen hasn’t been fully healthy since Week 1. If Allen is still limited, Palmer could be used in as simliar fashion as he was prior to LA’s Week 8 bye. In that game, Palmer snagged 9-of-12 targets for 57 yards.

Kenyan Drake (RB) Baltimore Ravens (5% FAAB) – After Gus Edwards exited Week 8 with a hamstring injury, Drake acted as Baltimore’s feature back. Edwards is questionable heading into Week 9. Consider Drake a solid insurance policy or a nice flex option if Edwards sits.
