Week 12 NFL Snap Counts

Week 12 Snap Counts

Below are week 12 snap counts with week 13 opponents, salaries and projections

RB Snap Counts

Shaun Draughn: Its worth noting this is the 2nd week he has been on top of this list. Its also worth noting he has faced 2 top ten defense vs the rush in the past two weeks. He has gotten his values worth not by being a flashy exciting back but just from the pure workload alone. He is the first back this year to have been involved in 100% of offensive snaps. The Bears give up the 13th most fantasy points to RBs this season. There is a potential downside as the Bears dont give up very many TDs however his involvement in the passing game is where I am interested. Its not my favorite option but has upside regardless.

DeAngelo Williams: Interestingly, Williams earned 24.7 DraftKings points last week and dropped $100. Being only $5700, I like this play. The Colts have given up solid rushing points to everyone this year minus Denver, who just recently found their running game.

Lamar Miller/Jay Ajayi: I dont know what to expect here. The Dolphins jettison their OC for not sticking to the run game. One could expect them to go full steam this week back to Lamar Miller. Yet, he actually had only 2 more carries AND saw less snaps than Jay Ajayi last week. Not to mention they are playing the Ravens who are abysmal against the pass but are top 5 in the NFL against the run. I will gladly throw Lamar in a GPP but am not sold as a cash game play this week.

Javorius Allen: On the other end, Allen looks like a great play. Only 2 teams have given up more Fantasy Points to RBs than the Dolphins (49ers, Chargers). He did make a $1300 jump in DraftKings but is still cheap for what he could provide. He may not have gotten a ton of yardage last week but he was 2nd only to Kamar Aiken in receiving.

CJ Anderson/Ronnie Hillman: Yet another tandem backfield with question marks. The Broncos have clearly found their run game and utilized it effectively. This week, the matchup is juicy. We all know by now the Chargers give up the most Fantasy Points to opposing RBs. The question we don't know is which Denver back to choose. Broncos HC announced Hillman will get the start and to be honest, I think Andersons recency bias will have people choosing him instead. I'll pay the extra $1000 to have the RB that could see 20+ touches in Hillman.

WR Snap Count

Antonio Brown: There is a favorable matchup between the Steelers and the Colts. Colts give up a lot to WRs (10th most) and the Steelers give up even more (4th most). The idea of a shootout bodes well for Brown and if Roethlisberger starts it should be a good day.

Allen Robinson: Robinson has been solid and consistent all year. With the possibility Hurns sits out this week, he could have a superior performance. Titans are middle of the road defending WRs but did just give up 256 yards to the Raiders. He also has a favorable CB matchup this week.

Michael Crabtree: Chiefs give up the 2nd most fantasy points to WRs this year. Even better is that the Chiefs have been playing well the past few weeks managing to score on offense. In the past 5 weeks the lowest they have scored is 23. If Carr has to toss it up a little more this week to combat a high score, I am willing to accept that.

TE Snap Counts

Austin Sefarian-Jenkins: If, and that is a big IF, he plays. The matchup is there. The potential is there. Question is: Will he be there?

Greg Olsen: You have a team whose only reliable receiver is the TE. Then you have a team who doesn't know how to play against TEs. This should be exciting to see. His price has crept up to $6400 but remember the last time Olsen faced the Saints? 8 catches, 134 yards, 2 TDs, 36.4 DraftKings points.

Travis Kelce: Can't mention the Saints defense without mentioning the Raiders defense vs TEs. Raiders just got lit up for 133 yards to Tenessee TEs last week. Kelce has the talent to turn it into a big day.

I love this post every week. I keep tabs on the snap counts, but this is awesome for a quick reference and the tables are super helpful. Draughn's snap count percentage is insane, and his value in the passing game makes him game-flow proof. Definitely a sweet value option, even if his ceiling isn't super high. It's also comforting to see how much Kelce played despite aggravating his ankle last week. Considering he's further removed from that, one would have to think he's healthier for a plus matchup with the Raiders.

Thanks Josh.

Do you have the numbers for J Thomas? I wouldn't play ASJ at this point if he was the last TE on earth. I doubt he sees a single snap the rest of this year though.

@Bobby

Thomas saw 70percent of the offensive snaps.

There are likely a ton of other great matchups this week. I just choose a few I like or don't based on matchups and stats.

Ill post my lineups once my GPPs fill up.

Thanks mangs. I was just curious what his numbers were, I know he had a big day.

Great post again! The Denver RB situation is frustrating this week, and I am in love with McCoy.
