Snap Share Trends
Last updated:
In fantasy football, opportunity is everything. A running back getting 75% of his team's snaps in week 6 is more likely to be relevant in week 12 than the guy who scored two touchdowns on six touches last Sunday. Touchdowns regress. Snap share doesn't. This report tracks who's actually getting on the field and how their playing time is trending over their most recent games.
Pick a position (QB, RB, WR, or TE), a season, and a minimum games threshold, and you'll get two views: a quadrant scatter plot that sorts every player into Workhorse, Explosive, Inefficient, or Irrelevant buckets based on snap percentage vs fantasy production, and a trend leaderboard pre-sorted by who's gaining snaps the fastest. Each row shows a mini bar chart of the player's last five games and an arrow indicating whether snap share is rising, falling, or steady. Trends are computed by linear regression slope so noise gets smoothed out.
Pair it with team usage to see how snap gains map back to team-wide opportunity share, or jump to boom or bust to find ceiling games among the players climbing the snap chart.
Snap share = what percentage of your team's offensive plays you're on the field for. A rising snap share is one of the strongest signals that a player is earning more work from the coaching staff. This report tracks who's trending up, who's losing snaps, and who's doing the most with the playing time they get.
