Each Monday morning, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together. As a reminder, these are not takes. This is just data. More context is always important.

This is the Week 6 data dump.
Dallas Goedert had a 34% target share against the Giants on Thursday night. He's now been above the 30% target share mark twice in five games this year. In 2024, his highest target share in a single game was 30.6%. He was above the 30% mark just that one time.
AJ Brown has seen 8 or more targets in every game since Week 1.
Saquon Barkley has two games this year with fewer than 10 PPR points. That only happened three times all of last year. His rushing yards over expected per rush last year, per Next Gen Stats, was +1.6. This year, it's -0.1.
With Tyrone Tracy back and active, Cam Skattebo saw 73% of New York's running back rushes in Week 6, which was actually higher than his 71% share in Week 5. Skattebo's snap share was 73%, up from 69% in Week 5.
Wan'Dale Robinson had a route participation rate of 97% against the Eagles. With Darius Slayton sidelined, Lil'Jordan Humphrey ran just one fewer route than Robinson, playing as New York's WR2.
Jaxson Dart has averaged 55.7 rushing yards per game in his three starts. For some context, Josh Allen (pre-Monday Night Football, obviously), is averaging 42.4 this year. Justin Fields is at 46.5 in his completed games this season.
Courtland Sutton had an 11.5% target share against the Jets. He's now been below a 15% target share in half of his games this year. (He's also oddly alternated good target share weeks with bad ones.)
Troy Franklin had a 69.7% route share against the Jets. That was his lowest route share by about 10 percentage points since Week 1.
JK Dobbins' highest target share in a game this year is just 8.7%. He's been at 2.4% and 2.8% over his last two games. RJ Harvey has been at or above 12% in three of his last four.
Mason Taylor's target shares over his last four:
Week 3: 17.1%
Week 4: 25.9%
Week 5: 27.3%
Week 6: 6.3%
Breece Hall has seen running back rush shares of 93% and 92% over his two games (without Braelon Allen). That's resulted in 14 and 22 carries.
According to Next Gen Stats, Justin Fields' Week 6 was the second-worst performance by EPA per drop back among all quarterbacks this season. It was only better than Jake Browning in Week 3 against the Vikings.
Bam Knight led the Cardinals backfield with 37 snaps played, per PFF data, against the Colts. Michael Carter was at 32. Carter ran 21 routes to Knight's 13, though, which resulted in 4 targets to Knight's 1.
Jacoby Brissett had 320 passing yards and 2 touchdowns against the Colts. Kyler Murray's done that just 7 times in his career, and he hasn't done it since Week 8 of 2022.
Jonathan Taylor had a season-high 85% route participation rate against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Josh Downs' average route share, Weeks 1-3: 57%
Weeks 4-6: 68%

He's now seen target shares of 27% and 23% over his last two games.
Kimani Vidal out-snapped Hassan Haskins 43 to 20 against the Dolphins, running 12 more routes. That resulted in a 75% running back rush share and a 10.5% target share.
The Miami Dolphins have now allowed a 20+ PPR point running back performance in four of their six games played this year.
Keenan Allen PPR PPG, Weeks 1-3: 18.8
Keenan Allen PPR PPG, Weeks 4-6: 8.7

He's been below a 20% target share in two of his last three, when he was above a 23% target share in each of his first three.
Malik Washington, once again, ran fewer routes than Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, this time against the Chargers.
Darren Waller saw his worst target share of the season (10%) against LA, but he ran a route on 81% of Miami's drop backs, a season high. He's gone from 36% to 68% to 81% in route share over his three contests.
Jaylen Waddle has seen target shares of 26.5% and 26.7% in his two games without Tyreek Hill this year.
Stefon Diggs has still only had one game where his route participation rate has reached 80%. He was at a 71% route share in Week 6, and he saw a 12.5% target share, a three-week low.
Rhamondre Stevenson played 46 snaps to TreVeyon Henderson's 19 in Week 6. Stevenson ran 11 more routes.
Chris Olave is averaging a 32.6% target share per game rate, and he's yet to fall below a 25% share in a game this year. He's been at 37% and 39% over his last two games.
Kendre Miller's backfield share stayed mostly the same week-over-week. His snap share fell by 3 percentage points, and his route share was nearly identical.
Quinshon Judkins saw a 71% running back rush share against the Steelers, his lowest since his Week 2 debut. He also had a season-low 2.0% target share. Thanks to game script, Judkins played the same number of snaps as Jerome Ford.
Jerry Jeudy hit a 20% target share for just the second time this season in Week 6 against the Steelers (25.5%). He hasn't scored 10+ PPR points in a game since Week 1 (11.6).
Steelers running back snaps, Week 6:

Jaylen Warren - 31
Kenneth Gainwell - 20
Kaleb Johnson - 11

Gainwell saw 6 targets to Warren's 2, but Warren did run 3 more routes, per PFF.
With Calvin Austin sidelined, Scotty Miller ran the second-most routes at wide receiver for the Steelers against the Browns. Roman Wilson ran just 8 routes.
Javonte Williams ran 13 times for just 29 yards against the Panthers, but he saw an 81% running back rush share and a season-high (by far) 23.5% target share.
George Pickens over the last three weeks without CeeDee Lamb:
- 28.9%, 14.3%, 32.4% target shares
- 33.4, 13.7, 31.8 PPR points
Despite his performance last week, Ryan Flournoy still ran 8 fewer routes than Jalen Tolbert in Week 6. He out-targeted Tolbert 4 to 1.
Rico Dowdle over the last two weeks: 66.3 PPR points

That's more than Tony Pollard and Chase Brown have on the season. (Not combined, but individually.)
Tetairoa McMillan had the best output of his career against the Cowboys (17.9 PPR points), but he had his lowest target share (23.8%) since Week 2.
Bryce Young was the first quarterback to score fewer than 24 standard points against the Cowboys this year. He still posted 18.5, second-highest of his season.
Zach Charbonnet played 14 more snaps than Kenneth Walker against the Jags. He also ran 7 more routes. On the season, Charbonnet has 60 rushes for 156 yards and a 32% success rate. Walker is at 78 carries for 364 yards and a 42% success rate.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a 54.2% target share against Jacksonville. He has two games with a 50%+ target share this year. Since 2011, it looks like only Brandon Marshall (2012), Sammy Watkins (2015), and Mike Evans (2015) were able to accomplish that feat across the entire season.
Sam Darnold is averaging 19.2 standard fantasy points per game since Week 1.
Travis Hunter ran a route on 86% of Jacksonville's drop backs in Week 6, a season high. That led to a usable 17% target share.
Travis Etienne has failed to score double-digit PPR points in each of his last two games despite having his two highest target share marks of the season. That's because he failed to score a touchdown in both contests.
After a 21.7% target share in Week 5, Kyren Williams was back at 7.7% in Week 6. He's been at or below 10% in all but one game this year. He also saw his running back rush share drop from 93% to 72% week-over-week.
Davante Adams had a 34.6% target share and still only scored 7.9 PPR points. In 70 regular-season games where he's had a 30% target share across his career, that was his third-lowest PPR output. The two games that were worse were when he was a Raider.
Even with a 14-point outing (PPR) in Week 6, Derrick Henry is averaging just 8.8 PPR points per game since his monster 29-point Week 1 outing.
Zay Flowers was reportedly going to be on a pitch count, but he ran a route on 93% of Baltimore's drop backs and saw a 30.3% target share.
Isaiah Likely ran 5 more routes than Mark Andrews in Week 6 according to PFF. That's the first time that's happened this season.
Jakobi Meyers has been below 10 PPR points in each of his last four games. After starting the season with 30% and 27% target shares, he's been below the 20% mark in three of his last four.
With Brock Bowers sidelined, Michael Mayer saw a 32% target share against Tennessee, running a route on 80% of Vegas' drop backs.
Ashton Jeanty averaged 8.6 PPR points per game over his first three of the season. He's averaged 22.0 over his last three. His target share per game rate over his first three was 5.1%. Over his last three? 15.9%.
Jack Bech ran a route on 80% of Vegas' drop backs against the Titans, a season high. After never reaching a 25% route share over the first four weeks of the season, Bech saw a 46% route participation rate in Week 5 and then an 80% one this past week.
Tyjae Spears out-snapped Tony Pollard 36 to 26 against the Raiders, running twice as many routes.
Cam Ward has one game this year with 10+ standard fantasy points scored.
Chase Brown saw just a 60% running back rush share against the Packers, second-lowest of his season. His 5.0% target share was the lowest of his season.
Tee Higgins had a 20% target share against the Packers (second-highest of his season), resulting in 62 receiving yards (highest).
Romeo Doubs had a 34.6% target share against the Bengals. Matthew Golden was at 19.2% (season high).
Tucker Kraft target shares by week:
1: 18.2%
2: 25.9%
3: 16.0%
4: 13.9%
6: 7.7%
Kendrick Bourne led the 49ers with an 85% route participation rate against Tampa Bay. Jauan Jennings, who apparently has a broken everything, ran the second-most routes on the team in Week 6 (79%). Bourne has now seen target shares of 23% and 24% over his last two games.
Jake Tonges has finished as a TE1 (top-12 TE) in each of his last three games, scoring 14.8, 17.1, and 11.8 PPR points. He's seen about 20% of San Francisco's targets over the last two weeks.
Rachaad White has seen roughly 78% of Tampa Bay's running back rushes and a 13% target share during his two games without Bucky Irving. He's been an RB1 in both contests.
Cade Otton hit a season high 26% target share in Week 6 against the 49ers. No player on the Bucs ran more routes.
Travis Kelce hit a 25% target share last night, a season high. He's been at or above a 20% share in four of six games this year.
Brashard Smith played 9% of Kansas City's snaps against the Lions. He's been below 10% in back-to-back games after reaching 26% in Week 4.
Despite not seeing a target, Isaac TeSlaa ran a route on 68% of Detroit's drop backs last night. That was a season high.
Jameson Williams saw target shares of 13%, 14%, and 12% over his first three games. Over his last three, he's been at 32%, 4%, and 26%.
David Montgomery saw just 4 of 21 running back rushes against the Chiefs. That 19% running back rush share is the second-lowest of his career. The only time it was lower was when he left a game early in 2022.

Each Monday morning, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together. As a reminder, these are not takes. This is just data. More context is always important.

This is the Week 5 data dump.
Kendrick Bourne tied Jake Tonges for the 49ers lead with a 22.9% target share on Thursday night, but Demarcus Robinson actually ran the most routes at wide receiver for San Francisco, per PFF data.
Christian McCaffrey has scored 95.7 PPR points via receiving alone this year. That's more than every wide receiver this season outside of Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Emeka Egbuka, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Each Monday morning during the NFL season, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together.

This, my friends, is the Week 1 data dump.
Javonte Williams finished Week 1 with a 79% running back rush share and 9% target share, and he ran a route on 77% of Dallas' drop backs, per PFF. He was a bell-cow against Philadelphia -- he out-snapped Miles Sanders 47 to 11.
AJ Brown had just a 5% target share against the Cowboys. The only other game in his career where his rate was lower was in Week 18 of the 2023 season. He played 12 snaps that game.

Fifteen years ago, I got an instant message from my best friend from childhood. We were home from college. He asked me, "How old is Bobby?" Confused, I responded, "He's a little older than me... he's your age...23."

"I think he was in an accident last night."
My friend sent me a link to a news story. I clicked it. There was Bobby's Subaru. It was completely destroyed.
Bobby was like the mayor of the town I grew up in, just north of Pittsburgh. His family owned a Chinese restaurant that we used to hang out at all the time. When it closed for the day, Bobby would open it up for us to hang out at. We had some epic beer pong matches there.
