5 NFL Red Zone Trends to Monitor for Week 14

Carlos Hyde Fills in for Leonard Fournette

The Jacksonville Jaguars' red zone offense with and without Leonard Fournette has been night-and-day this season. With Fournette out from Weeks 5 to 9, they ran 28 red zone plays. 24 of those were passes, giving them an absurd 6.25-to-1 pass-to-run ratio.

With Fournette back from Weeks 10 to 12, 15 of their 26 red zone plays were runs, for a 0.73-to-1 ratio. Fournette accounted for 11 of the team's 15 carries, for a 73.3% rushing and 59.1% opportunity market share.

Fournette was out again in Week 13, but this time Carlos Hyde stepped right into his role, accounting for 50% of the team's red zone opportunities, with three rushes on their seven red zone snaps (six carries, one pass thrown away).

This isn't to say that Hyde is going to cut into Fournette's workload, but more that Fournette's absurd market share should hold up with Cody Kessler starting at quarterback.

The Jags seemed even less inclined to pass than with Blake Bortles at the helm, so Fournette should see some of the league's highest red zone volume down the stretch.
