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 4 data dump. After running the same number of routes as Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Week 3, Tory Horton ran fewer than half the number of routes as his teammates in Week 4. His 39% route share was a season low.

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.

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.

Each Monday morning, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together. This is the final one of those threads for the 2024 season. The Week 15 data dump starts here. Cooper Kupp finished Thursday Night Football with zero catches on three targets. It was the second time in his career where he finished a game without a catch on at least three targets, and it was the first time it happened since 2019.

Each Monday morning, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together. This is the Week 14 data dump, which is the second-to-last one of the season. Jayden Reed ran 15 routes for the Packers on Thursday night, per PFF, while Christian Watson was at 22 and Dontayvion Wicks 18. Reed's 5.3% target share against the Lions was a season low. He's now scored fewer than 10 PPR points in 5 of his last 7.

Each Monday morning, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together.

This is the Week 11 data dump. Austin Ekeler had a 28% target share against the Eagles on Thursday night. That's the first time a running back saw a target share over 20% against the Eagles this year, though Philadelphia does rank in the top-10 in adjusted running back target share allowed.

It's Monday morning. Time to dump.

Each Monday morning, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together. This, my friends, is the Week 7 data dump. There's not much to report from the Saints this week, but, if you're curious, Bub Means did lead the Saints wideouts in routes run against the Broncos. Mason Tipton was one behind him. And then Cedrick Wilson Jr. was 12 behind. That's according to PFF data.

Each Monday morning, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together for you nerds to enjoy.

Here's this week's data dump. Through Sunday Night Football, only two quarterbacks have scored 20 fantasy points (4 points per TD/-2 for INT). If that holds, it'll be just the second time since 2011 where only two quarterbacks scored 20+ fantasy points in a given week. And this is a week without byes.

It's late (for a dad), but I'm sitting here thinking about fantasy football because I'm a huge fucking nerd.

I've researched the RB dead zone for years. There's a section about it in every Late-Round Draft Guide. But I'm likely never going to write about it again... (thread) People have considered the RB dead zone an area of fantasy drafts where running backs underperform, and the opportunity cost of getting those running backs is relatively high. Historically, that's been in the RB2 range. It really hits in the mid-range RB2 area.

OK. I know this fantasy football data dump used to be on Sunday nights, but I need to do them on Mondays from now on. I'm going to do them, though. This is Week 1's thread 🧵 Isaiah Likely hit a 30% target share against the Chiefs, while Mark Andrews was at 5%. Andrews, however, ran more routes, per PFF, and he was lined up in the slot or outside on 78% of his routes run. Likely was at 51%.

With the holiday coming up, this will be the last pre-Sunday Night Football data dump of the season. Thanks for reading all season.

Let's do this. Without Josh Jacobs in a wild game script, the Raiders backfield had the following offensive snaps played on Thursday:

Zamir White: 44
Ameer Abdullah: 17
Brandon Bolden: 2

White ran 21 routes to Abdullah's 9, per Next Gen Stats

It's a little late because of that Bills-Eagles game, but this week's pre-Sunday Night Football fantasy football data dump thread is here. Let's do it. Jahmyr Gibbs, in a negative script, out-snapped David Montgomery 54 to 22 on Thanksgiving. His 69% snap share was his highest since Montgomery came back from injury. He's now averaged a 17.9% target share per game over his last six.
