Snap To It: Week 9 Snap Count Review

You Can’t Handle the Truth

Devonta Freeman saw 59% of the snaps for the Ravens in week 9. That’s the 2nd highest snap rate of any Ravens RB so far this season.
Despite his abysmal fantasy production this season, Robby Anderson lead the Panthers WRs in snaps.
Joe Mixon got 64% of the Bengals snaps. This was Samaje Perine’s highest snap rate (34%) when Mixon has been healthy.
Nick Chubb sat around his usual 56% area in week 9.
With the exception of week 1 (tied) and week 4 (1 snap difference), Melvin Gordon III has lead the Broncos backfield in snaps every week.
After ceding top snap WR to Tim Patrick last week, Courtland Sutton lead the Broncos in week 9 with 84%.
After a 1 week hiatus, David Johnson reclaimed the #1 RB in Houston, for whatever that may be worth.
Nyheim Hines saw the 2nd highest % of snaps he’s had this season with 46%.
After seeing 72% of snaps in week 8 for the Jags, Dan Arnold dropped to 57% in week 9. He’s getting time in line off the line, but we’ll have to see if his snap rate is closer to 50% or 70%.
I wouldn’t recommend starting a Chiefs WR2, but if you must, it’s been Mecole Hardman and Byron Pringle who have seen the 2nd and 3rd most snaps over the last couple weeks.
All 3 Chargers TEs split snaps in week 9 fairly evenly, and it was actually Stephen Anderson that lead the way. Use Parham or Cook at your own risk with snaps being equally divvied up.
Over the last 3 weeks, the Rams trio of WRs are pretty much on the field for the same amount of snaps (Kupp and Woods at 199 and Jefferson at 192).
With Henry Ruggs no longer going to be a part of the Raiders WRs, it was Zay Jones (96%), Bryan Edwards (93%), and Hunter Renfrow (65%) that took the snaps.
Myles Gaskin saw a season high 73% of the snaps. The Gaskin has held and provided fantasy teams with steady, even if unspectacular, production.
For the first time in 4 games, Damien Harris failed to lead the Pats RBs in snaps. In week 9, it was Brandon Bolden that took the honor.
Alvin Kamara (68% and 70%) has seen his 2 lowest snap rates of the season since the addition of Mark Ingram.
After back to back weeks above 70% snap rates, Michael Carter fell back to 59% in week 9.
I don’t understand the Eagles either. Kenneth Gainwell down to 19% this week with Jordan Howard getting 40% and Boston Scott 44%. Quez Watkins lead all WRs in snaps at 96%. About the only thing that made sense was Goedert playing 93%.
Pat Freiermuth has seen 81% and 71% of the snaps in the last 2 weeks for the Steelers.
For back to back weeks, Brandon Aiyuk has lead the 49ers WRs in snaps.

We Back (from injury) Baby

With Chase Edmonds going down, it was James Conner (77%) that saw the bulk of the work with Eno Benjamin (24%) spelling him.
Without DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green, Christian Kirk lead the Cardinals in snaps at 96%. Rondale Moore came in second with 81% and Antoine Wesley was third at 77%.
Despite Olamide Zaccheaus’s big day, he was a distant 3rd in snaps among Falcons WRs with no Calvin Ridley.
Zack Moss left the game in week 9 early and Devin Singletary got 72% of the snaps in his absence.
It was all Tommy Sweeney without Dawson Knox available for the Bills in week 9.
In his return from injury, CMC got 49% of the snaps and Ameer Abdullah was 2nd with 37%.
David Montgomery got 85% of the snaps in week 9 as he returned from injury.
With ‘Zeke dealing with a contusion, he played 55% to Tony Pollard’s 40%.
As Amari Cooper continues to deal with his hamstring, he played only 60% of the snaps in week 9, and it was actually Cedrick Wilson that lead the WRs in snaps for the Cowboys.
With everyone in the GB WR corps as healthy as they’ve been in weeks, it was Davante Adams (92%) and Randall Cobb (84%) that lead the way with MVS (54%) and Randall Cobb (52%) next in line.
With the exception of his injury weeks, Dalvin Cook has seen over 70% of the snaps each game.
Tre’Quan Smith has seen his snap rate climb each week and finally lead the Saints in snaps in week 9, passing Marquez Callaway.
With no Sterling Shepard, Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, and Kadarius Toney had exactly the same amount of snaps in week 9.
With Derrick Henry out, Jeremy McNichols played 45%, Adrian Peterson played 33% and D’onta Foreman got 21%.
