When trying to predict a player’s fantasy value there are several stats to look at. One important area is the total number of snaps they play during a given week. Generally, players with higher snap counts get more opportunities and that means more ways to score. Obviously, this stat is not as important for quarterbacks so we took them out of the chart below. The rest of the offensive skill players are listed in order of their total snaps played for the first two weeks of the NFL season. Here are a couple of names that stick out.
Kyren Williams – Williams quickly took over the backfield for the LA Rams and has been one of the early surprises of the season. The Rams are so sold on Williams they decided to trade away Cam Akers to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams played in 95% of the team’s snaps in week 2 and will continue to get the majority of the workload.
Jonathan Mingo – Mingo hasn’t yet had a breakout game but the rookie is playing the majority of the snaps on offense. He played in 98% of the Panthers snaps in week 2 and could be a sneaky flex play in the coming weeks.
Jahan Dotson – Dotson was one of the hottest names coming into this season as a potential 2nd-year breakout player. The production hasn’t been there as of yet but it’s only a matter of time. Surprisingly Dotson outsnapped fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin in week 2.
