Week 1 Snap Counts: A Deep Dive into Offensive Usage

Based on the provided snap count data from Week 1, I've compiled a summary focusing on running backs (RBs), wide receivers (WRs), and tight ends (TEs). This highlights workhorses, committees, surprises, and red flags for fantasy football purposes. Percentages reflect offensive snap shares, and I've noted any injuries or context from the data. Teams are grouped alphabetically for clarity.Running BacksWorkhorse RBs (70%+ snaps) dominate their backfields and are high-volume fantasy plays. Committees (multiple backs at 30%+) split work and reduce individual upside. Here's a breakdown:

Category	Players/Teams	Notes
Workhorses (80%+)	Josh Jacobs (88%, GB), Ashton Jeanty (86%, LV), Bijan Robinson (83%, ATL), Kyren Williams (82%, LAR), D'Andre Swift (81%, CHI), Omarion Hampton (80%, LAC), Tony Pollard (89%, TEN)	These are bell-cows with minimal competition. Jacobs and Pollard stand out as every-down backs.
Strong Leads (70-79%)	Jonathan Taylor (71%, IND), Chase Brown (75%, CIN), Javonte Williams (77%, DAL), De'Von Achane (73%, MIA), Alvin Kamara (79%, NO), Tyrone Tracy (74%, NYG), Saquon Barkley (79%, PHI), Christian McCaffrey (76%, SF), Bucky Irving (76%, TB)	Positive fantasy signs, especially for Brown (a breakout candidate) and Irving (rookie dominance over White). Kamara and McCaffrey are locks for heavy usage.
Moderate Leads (50-69%)	James Conner (65%, ARI), Derrick Henry (57%, BAL), James Cook (56%, BUF), Chuba Hubbard (67%, CAR), Jerome Ford (54%, CLE), JK Dobbins (53%, DEN), Jahmyr Gibbs (66%, DET), Nick Chubb (51%, HOU), Travis Etienne (61%, JAC), Isiah Pacheco (51%, KC), Rhamondre Stevenson (65%, NE), Breece Hall (58%, NYJ), Kenneth Gainwell (54%, PIT), Zach Charbonnet (58%, SEA), Jordan Mason (54%, MIN)	Conner's the clear lead but Benson factors in. Henry's even split with Hill signals a true committee in BAL. Dobbins' share is solid but capped for health reasons.
Committees (Tight Splits)	BAL (Henry 57%/Hill 45%), BUF (Cook 56%/Johnson 33%), CAR (Hubbard 67%/Dowdle 34%), CLE (Ford 54%/Sampson 43%), DEN (Dobbins 53%/Harvey 29%), DET (Gibbs 66%/Montgomery 37%), HOU (Chubb 51%/Ogunbowale 27%), JAC (Etienne 61%/Bigsby 21%), KC (Pacheco 51%/Hunter 38%), MIA (Achane 73%/Gordon 25%), NE (Stevenson 65%/Henderson 35%), NYJ (Hall 58%/Allen 31%), PIT (Gainwell 54%/Warred 45%), SEA (Charbonnet 58%/Walker 40%), WAS (Ekeler 47%/Croskey-Merritt 33%), MIN (Mason 54%/Jones 50%)	BAL and PIT look like 50/50 messes. ARI (Conner 65%/Benson 35%) and IND (Taylor 71%/Giddens 25%) lean lead-heavy but monitor backups.
Minor Roles/Afterthoughts	Tyler Allgeier (25%, ATL), Rico Dowdle (34%, CAR), Miles Sanders (18%, DAL), RJ Harvey (29%, DEN), David Montgomery (37%, DET), Dare Ogunbowale (27%, HOU), DJ Giddens (25%, IND), Tank Bigsby (21%, JAC), Kareem Hunter (38%, KC), Najee Harris (18%, LAC), Ollie Gordon (25%, MIA), TreVeyon Henderson (35%, NE), Devin Singletary (15%, NYG), Cam Skattebo (12%, NYG), Braelon Allen (31%, NYJ), Jaylen Warred (45%, PIT), Ken Walker (40%, SEA), Rachaad White (24%, TB), Bill Croskey-Merritt (33%, WAS), Kyle Monangai (13%, CHI), Aaron Jones (50%, MIN)	Many are change-of-pace or goal-line options. Harris as an afterthought in LAC is surprising.

RB Surprises/Red Flags:

Rookies like Hampton (LAC), Jeanty (LV), Irving (TB), and Tracy (NYG) are immediate workhorses—huge fantasy upside.
Committees in BAL, CLE, KC, PIT, and MIN cap ceiling for leads.
Low shares for vets like Harris (LAC), White (TB), and Sanders (DAL) signal reduced roles.

Wide ReceiversHigh-snap WRs (80%+) are every-down players and target magnets. Lower shares often indicate rotations or injuries.

Category	Players/Teams	Notes
Elite Usage (90%+)	Jameson Williams (97%, DET), Amon-Ra St. Brown (94%, DET), CeeDee Lamb (92%, DAL), George Pickens (92%, DAL), Hollywood Brown (93%, KC), Tre Tucker (90%, LV), Davante Adams (90%, LAR), Darius Slayton (97%, NYG), Malik Nabers (94%, NYG), Garrett Wilson (100%, NYJ), Josh Reynolds (97%, NYJ), DK Metcalf (95%, PIT), Cooper Kupp (88%, SEA), Emeka Egbuka (93%, TB), Calvin Ridley (95%, TEN), Rome Odunze (94%, CHI), Justin Jefferson (98%, MIN)	Wilson at 100% is untouchable. Rookies like Odunze, Egbuka, and Nabers are instant stars. DET's top duo dominates.
High Usage (80-89%)	Keon Coleman (88%, BUF), Tet McMillan (83%, CAR), Xavier Legette (78%, CAR), Jeudy/Tillman (88%, CLE), Courtland Sutton (95%, DEN), Nico Collins (84%, HOU), Michael Pittman (82%, IND), Alec Pierce (79%, IND), Brian Thomas Jr (86%, JAC), Ladd McConkey (85%, LAC), Quentin Johnston (82%, LAC), Chris Olave (85%, NO), Rashid Shaheed (85%, NO), DeVonta Smith (89%, PHI), AJ Brown (87%, PHI), Ricky Pearsall (84%, SF), Mike Evans (83%, TB), Elic Ayomanor (79%, TEN), Terry McLaurin (79%, WAS), Deebo Samuel (77%, WAS), DJ Moore (84%, CHI), Jalen Nailor (88%, MIN)	Sutton and Collins are clear alphas. Rookies McMillan, Legette, Thomas Jr, McConkey, Pearsall, and Egbuka seeing big roles right away.
Moderate/Rotational (50-79%)	Josh Palmer (62%, BUF), Khalil Shakir (71%, BUF), Harold Fannin (72%, CLE), Troy Franklin (59%, DEN), Marvin Mims (53%, DEN), Romeo Doubs (71%, GB), Dyami Brown (71%, JAC), Travis Hunter (64%, JAC), JuJu Smith-Schuster (80%, KC), Puka Nacua (63%, LAR), Jordan Whittington (50%, LAR), Tyreek Hill (63%, MIA), Jaylen Waddle (65%, MIA), Malik Washington (58%, MIA), Kayshon Boutte (82%, NE), Jahan Dotson (46%, PHI), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (77%, SEA), Tyler Lockett (58%, TEN), Olamide Zaccheaus (45%, CHI), Adam Thielen (57%, MIN)	Hill/Waddle's low snaps (MIA) due to blowout—expect rebound. GB's rotation (Doubs leading, Reed at 38%) is a red flag for Reed.
Low Usage (<50%)	Matthew Golden (48%, GB), Dontayvion Wicks (46%, GB), Jayden Reed (38%, GB), Josh Downs (49%, IND), Adonai Mitchell (21%, IND), Tutu Atwell (42%, LAR), Stefon Diggs (41%, NE), Luther Burden (27%, CHI)	Reed's low share in GB is a massive red flag. Diggs' debut in NE was underwhelming. Burden (rookie) may need time in CHI.

WR Surprises/Red Flags:

Rookies dominating: Coleman (BUF), McMillan/Legette (CAR), Fannin (CLE), Thomas Jr/Hunter (JAC), McConkey/Johnston (LAC), Egbuka (TB), Pearsall (SF), Odunze (CHI).
Committees in GB (Reed's low usage alarming) and LAR (Nacua/Whittington/Atwell rotating).
Casey Washington (95%, ATL) surged—monitor if Mooney out. Keenan Allen (62%, LAC) taking backseat to rookies.

Tight EndsTEs with high snaps are reliable for volume, especially in pass-heavy offenses.

Category	Players/Teams	Notes
High Usage (80%+)	David Njoku (84%, CLE), Sam LaPorta (91%, DET), Travis Kelce (84%, KC), Hunter Henry (93%, NE), Juwan Johnson (99%, NO), George Kittle (injured, SF—not specified), Cole Kmet (90%, CHI), TJ Hockenson (80%, MIN)	Johnson at 99% is elite. LaPorta and Kmet are every-play guys.
Moderate Usage (50-79%)	Dalton Kincaid (51%, BUF), Dawson Knox (56%, BUF), Drew Sample (69%, CIN), Noah Fant (50%, CIN), Evan Engram (injured early, DEN—not specified), Brock Bowers (51%, injured, LV), Michael Mayer (63%, LV), Colston Loveland (57%, CHI)	BUF's Kincaid/Knox split limits both. CIN's mess (Sample/Fant/Gesicki) is untrustworthy.
Low Usage (<50%)	Mike Gesicki (31%, CIN), Pat Freiermuth/Tyler Trautman (split pre-injury, DEN)	Engram's early exit opened Trautman, but monitor.

TE Surprises/Red Flags:

Injuries: Bowers (LV, knee—watch Mayer), Engram (DEN), Kittle/Jennings (SF).
Splits in BUF, CIN, and DEN reduce fantasy appeal.
Loveland (CHI rookie) at 57%—may take time, as noted.

Overall, this Week 1 data shows heavy rookie involvement across the league, with several (e.g., Jeanty, Hampton, Egbuka) stepping up immediately. Monitor injuries (Bowers, Engram, Kittle) and blowout-affected snaps (MIA). For fantasy, prioritize workhorses like Jacobs, Robinson, and high-snap WRs like Wilson/Jefferson. If trends hold, committees in BAL/PIT could frustrate owners. Let me know if you want deeper dives on specific teams or players!
