Between the Lines: Week 11 Snap Count Analysis

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys - One-Man Show

Quarterback: Dak Prescott (100%)

Running Back: Ezekiel Elliott (88%), Rod Smith (12%)

Wide Receivers: Michael Gallup (81%), Amari Cooper (80%), Cole Beasley (66%), Noah Brown (16%), Allen Hurns (12%)

Tight End: Geoff Swaim (89%), Dalton Schultz (17%), Rico Gathers (14%)

Sure, Amari Cooper is in town. But do the Cowboys even care? They have Zeke Elliott, who's had 25 and 30 touches (58.8% of all of the team's touches) and 200-plus yard games over the last two. Zeke now has just 19 fewer carries and 90 fewer yards than league-leader Todd Gurley with a game in hand. If he keeps up his recent incendiary play, a second career rushing title is well within his grasp.

New York Giants - Engram Takes a Back Seat

Quarterback: Eli Manning (100%)

Running Backs: Saquon Barkley (89%), Elijhaa Penny (30%), Wayne Gallman (11%)

Wide Receivers: Odell Beckham (87%), Sterling Shepard (87%), Bennie Fowler (32%), Russell Shepard (13%)

Tight Ends: Rhett Ellison (75%), Scott Simonson (34%), Evan Engram (32%)

Even Engram had played at least 60% of the New York Giants' snaps in each of his previous games. He played just 32% on Sunday, making him third in the pecking order in the Giants' tight end corps. The other two tight ends had just one target combined, so there's no need to worry, but his disappearance was certainly unwelcome in what looked like an enticing matchup against the Bucs.

Philadelphia Eagles - Adams' Aerie

Quarterback: Carson Wentz (100%)

Running Backs: Josh Adams (55%), Corey Clement (27%)

Wide Receivers: Alshon Jeffery (100%), Nelson Agholor (86%), Golden Tate (71%), Jordan Matthews (27%)

Tight End: Zach Ertz (92%), Dallas Goedert (31%)

The writing was on the wall. Adams just decided to use a Sharpie to make sure it wouldn't run off. With 55% of the snaps, Josh Adams not only played the most snaps of any running back on the team, he more than doubled the second place Corey Clement. He's turned a perpetual RBBC into a one-man show. He's averaging 6.1 yards per rush, and saw 10 touches, double that of Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood's combined total. Adams could legitimately win people leagues this season.

Washington Redskins - The Colt McCoys

Quarterback: Alex Smith (68%), Colt McCoy (32%)

Running Backs: Adrian Peterson (56%), Byron Marshall (23%) Kapri Bibbs (21%)

Wide Receivers: Josh Doctson (85%), Trey Quinn (71%), Maurice Harris (55%), Michael Floyd (44%)

Tight Ends: Jordan Reed (67%), Vernon Davis (37%), Jeremy Sprinkle (36%)

I can't even write about Alex Smith's gruesome injury, let alone watch it. The long and the short of it is that Colt McCoy will take the reins going forward as Washington looks to continue its march to the playoffs. With a game plan largely based on running and defense, they could still pull off the division title, no matter how improbable it might seem.
