Target Breakdown: Week 5 WR/TE Usage Report & Role Analysis

Target Breakdown: Week 5 WR/TE Usage Report & Role Analysis

This article is part of our Backfield Breakdown series.

Share Comparisons

Below we show target, route and air-yard shares for Week 5, compared to numbers for the season as a whole. Sorting by the delta columns is a quick way to find outliers (or trends... or injuries).

Note that shares have been adjusted to only include games a player participated in for key players. Adjustments were made to Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rondale Moore, Michael Gallup, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Jakobi Meyers, Allen Lazard, Hunter Renfrow, Amon-ra St. Brown, Zay Jones and George Kittle — all of whom played Week 5 but missed at least one game earlier this season.

      • W3: 3-61-0 on five targets (45% snaps)
      • W4: 4-80-0 on six targets (44% snaps)
      • W5: 8-81-0 on nine targets (59% snaps)
  • Pierce still hasn't played a single snap in 12 personnel this year, but he did get 75% of the snaps in 11 personnel Thursday night, up a tick from 71% in Weeks 3-4.
  • Campbell played a season-high 92 percent of snaps but still hasn't been targeted more than four times in a game this year.
  • Alie-Cox was targeted once and played only 44% of snaps, after throwing up 6-85-2 on six targets and 70% of snaps the week before.
    • For the year, Alie-Cox has played 43% of Indy's snaps in 11 personnel (three-wide) and 86% of snaps in any other personnel grouping.
      • It was even worse Thursday... only 30% of the snaps in 11, while Granson got 48% and Woods took 22%.

  • Saubert led the Denver TEs in snaps, targets and routes for a second straight week, but it was mostly short stuff and he had a bad drop. He's only an option in leagues where any TE running routes each week is an option.
  • Sutton has seven or more targets and double-digit PPR points each week this year, but he still hasn't reached 20 points in a game (His lone TD came in his worst yardage performance).
    • Sutton is on track for career highs in catch rate (63 percent), YPT (9.2) and yards per game (83.4).
  • Jeudy was left wide open for a 37-yard gain in the second half, but he didn't do much otherwise, with three catches and a drop on eight targets. 
    • Jeudy has seen 17 fewer targets than Sutton this year and has caught only 48.3 percent of them.
      • Sutton's advantage drops to nine targets (35-26) if we don't count the Week 2 game Jeudy left early.

    • Sills, meanwhile, went from leading the WRs in snaps for most of the year to finishing fourth in Sunday's games.
  • RB Saquon Barkley will probably lead the team in targets if he stays healthy most of the year.
  • Slayton's snap/route shares aren't great, but he led the team in catches (six), targets and receiving yards. He's played 69 snaps the past two weeks, after just 17 total the first three weeks of the season.
  • James got more snaps in this one after his workload fell off a cliff the week before, but he was targeted just twice, catching both for 16 yards.

    • Doubs has four more targets than Lazard, but the veteran has a much deeper aDOT (12.8 to 7.3) and a 3-1 advantage in end zone targets.
  • Cobb had more targets Sunday than in the first four games of the season combined. 
    • Cobb's route share was larger than usual, partially because Watson left early with a hamstring injury, but the veteran slot man was still only the No. 3 receiver in terms of routes/snaps.

  • Freiermuth was concussed in the third quarter, leaving Gentry and Connor Heyward (two catches for 12 yard) to share snaps at tight end.
    • Gentry hurt his knee, leaving only Heyward healthy by the end of the game.
  • Claypool had season highs for catches, targets and yards (5-50-0 on nine looks). His per-route stats remain among the worst in the league for a WR.

  • London lost more snaps/routes than usual to the backup receivers, with Byrd, Hodge and Edwards all around 30-40% route share for whatever reason. The rookie led the team in targets anyway but finished with only 35 yards and no TD.
    • London apparently had a knee injury late in the game, but his snap share in the fourth quarter (76%) was actually higher than in Q1-3 (64%).
  • Firkser had a role, but not much of one, with Kyle Pitts (hamstring) missing a game for the first time this year. The Falcons mostly just ran the ball, including when they were down multiple scores in the second half (it worked, but not really.. they made it a one-score game after trailing 21-0, but then never got the ball back after taking so long to score).

  • Otton played nearly every snap and led the team in routes, while backup TEs Ko Kieft and Kyle Rudolph combined for all of four routes and one target.

    • Metcalf and Lockett both are top 10 in air yards this year, as well as top 20 in yards per route and targets per route.
      • The Seahawks, Dolphins and Eagles each have three guys among the top 15 WRs in receiving yards. And all have No. 3 receivers (or rotations) who rarely see the ball.

    • This is closer to the split we expected when both signed in March. Conklin had a big camp and beat out Uzomah for a starting job, only to be plagued by drops and fumbles through the first quarter of the season. Now they're in a timeshare, or at least they were for Week 5.

  • They should get DJ Chark (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (shoulder) back in the lineup after a Week 6 bye, and potentially rookie Jameson Williams (NFI - knee) at some point. Given all that, it's hard to recommend Reynolds as an 'add' this week, even after three straight weeks with solid receiving lines.

  • Mooney's one-handed catch was phenomenal. But even with his skills and 24.7% target share, hope is hard to find in the Chicago passing game.

    • Mundt isn't stealing many routes, but Jefferson dominates targets and nobody else is making a case for that to change.

  • Samuel caught just two of the team-high nine targets but one was in the end zone, and he added two carries for 12 yards.
    • That's his second straight game with two carries, and he's finished with 6-9 targets each week this year. Not quite the workload we wanted, but not too far off either.

  • At least they got rid of Matt Rhule, albeit after waiting for too long.

  • Goedert saw one look downfield in this one but mostly just continues to feast on dump-offs and YAC.
    • He leads qualified TEs in catch rate (85.7%) and YAC (281), while his aDOT (2.8) is microscopic. Even a player as talented as Goedert can't keep putting up 10+ yards per target while only seeing throws to the flats or drag routes.
    • Still, he has either 60-plus yards or a TD every week this year, peaking at 8-95-0 against the Cards on Sunday.

  • Moore had an every-down role for a second time in as many appearances, this time catching seven of eight targets for 68 yards (but losing seven yards on two carries). It was all short stuff, with Moore seeing only 17 air yards.
  • Brown continues to rake on a steady diet of targets all over the field. He has four games in a row with double-digit targets and at least six catces, and he's scored at least a dozen PPR points every week this season, pacing for 129-1,418-10 (sans DeAndre Hopkins, to be fair).
  • Ertz has three straight games with exactly six catches, and for 45-48 yards each time. He's scored double-digit PPR points each week, but hasn't come close to 20.

  • Schultz left after aggravating the knee injury he suffered back in Week 2. Hendershot and Ferguson worked in a timeshare, with the former handling obvious passing downs (and neither seeing any targets).
  • Gallup played only 55% of snaps but was on the field for all but two of the Cowboys' pass plays (and finished second on the team in targets).

  • Atwell got behind the defense for a 50-yard gain on one of his eight routes.
  • At this point you wonder if Van Jefferson will replace Robinson instead of Skowronek when he comes back from injured reserve. 
    • The snaps at FB always excited broadcasters but have accounted for less than 10% of Skowronek's plays the past two weeks. Versatility helps him stay in the lineup, and he's mostly running his routes from a receiver stance/position.
    • Robinson can be dropped in a lot of leagues. He's not getting targets, and doesn't look good when he does.

Isaiah Likely23.0%1030.3%41.8%27.4%9.3%-0.820.0%07
  • Duvernay took on a larger role with Rashod Bateman (foot) inactive, catching five of a season-high seven targets for 54 yards and adding three carries for 24 yards (plus his usual work on punt and kick returns).
    • It wasn't quite an every-down role, but DD did have his largest route and snap shares of the season, and he was a priority whenever on the field.
  • Andrews might break a lot of TE records this year. Probably not the yardage or TD records (the ones people actually care about), but stuff like target share, targets per route, etc.

    • Foster Moreau (knee) was inactive, leaving Horsted as the lone TE.
  • Renfrow didn't play a ton of snaps but more or less got his usual route share after missing two games with a concussion.

  • For a second straight week we saw Moore take some snaps from Hardman, who responded with four catches for 73 yards, getting a nice confidence boost after his favorite twitch streamer followed him on twitter (she only follows 47 people, so it's kind of a big deal).
  • JuJu has exactly eight targets in four of five games this year, and his aDOT (8.4) is back toward normal WR range... it just hasn't quite worked out for him, partially because he's not playing all that well. But don't give up hope yet.
