Between the Lines: Week 11 Snap Count Analysis
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons - A Ridley Resurgence?
Quarterback: Matt Ryan (100%)
Running Backs: Tevin Coleman (61%), Ito Smith (36%)
Wide Receivers: Julio Jones (91%), Mohamed Sanu (91%), Calvin Ridley (71%), Justin Hardy (18%), Marvin Hall (14%)
Tight End: Austin Hooper (84%), Logan Paulsen (30%)
While the Atlanta Falcons aren't going to throw in the towel just yet, they might just have to if they continue the mediocre play they've shown the past couple of weeks. If that were to happen, Calvin Ridley could see a big boost in usage as the team looks to get their prized rookie more work. The Falcons could easily lose their next three games (Week 12 is almost a certain loss against the Saints). If they do, Ridley could have a much more prominent role as we enter the fantasy semifinals. Speculation? Sure. Possible? You betcha.
Carolina Panthers - DJ Jazzy Moore
Quarterback: Cam Newton (98%)
Running Backs: Christian McCaffrey (100%)
Wide Receivers: Devin Funchess (83%), D.J. Moore (78%), Jarius Wright (71%), Curtis Samuel (28%), Damiere Byrd (10%)
Tight End: Greg Olsen (97%), Chris Manhertz (21%)
Now I have a story that I'd like to tell, about this guy--you all know him--he had me scared as hell! He came to me in waivers after I put in a bid. His output then was teenie, and I thought I'd hafta get rid. He wears the same cleats and uni every Sunday, and even if it's hot outside, he wears it anyway. He was gone for two long weeks, but he showed up in Week 11. I can't believe that DJ Moore is back again! Fin.
New Orleans Saints - Michael, Who?
Quarterbacks: Drew Brees (93%), Taysom Hill (19%)
Running Backs: Alvin Kamara ( 63%), Mark Ingram (43%)
Wide Receiver: Michael Thomas (81%), Tre'Quan Smith (71%), Austin Carr (44%), Keith Kirkwood (36%)
Tight End: Josh Hill (66%), Benjamin Watson (30%), Dan Arnold (21%)
New Orleans Saints leading receiver Tre'Quan Smith. Say it with me, folks. New Orleans Saints leading receiver, TRE'QUAN SMITH! Hey, it was Week 11. Anything goes in Week 11, especially when it's Drew Brees' turn to write the NFL's weekly narrative. I want to believe that Smith's output is sticking around, but there are just too many damn mouths to feed, and the Saints don't get to play the Eagles every week.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Toss a Coin for QB
Quarterback: Ryan Fitzpatrick (58%), Jameis Winston (42%)
Running Backs: Peyton Barber (68%), Jacquizz Rodgers (32%)
Wide Receivers: Mike Evans (92%), DeSean Jackson (75%), Adam Humphries (69%), Chris Godwin (32%)
Tight Ends: O.J. Howard (72%), Cameron Brate (28%), Antony Auclair (20%)
LOL.
