Brian Robinson Jr. played 47% of the snaps last night, but handled 71% of the RB carries. He ended up with 17-60-1, while receiving all of the goal line and short yardage work, and running 6 routes.
“Joe Burrow has had a slow start to the season. He’s been slightly off up until yesterday. What’s crazy about that? He’s still top 5 in the league in passing yards and passing TDs “Off” Joe Burrow is still better than a majority of QBs.”
“Amari Cooper now has a 28% target share on the season. He has 11 or more targets in three out of the last four games. Shaping up like a career year for Cooper in Cleveland.”
"We gotta get Aaron Jones the ball more.. when he touches the ball good things happen" - Aaron Rodgers
“Greg Dulcich registered an 81% route participation in his first NFL game. He saw 13% of the targets. The Broncos offense is struggling, but the rookie has the allure of unknown upside as a talent -- more than we can say for a lot of TE options. High-end TE2 with upside.”

52% - Kenneth Walker
44% - Austin Ekeler

Thread on /r/DynastyFF: Hit Rate Of Draft Picks Over The Last Couple Years.
Cold Water:
“Something about football feels off, right? Sluggish? That's because the first 6 weeks of fantasy scoring are the lowest in THIRTEEN YEARS. Down 22% from last year We're seeing it in the primetime games. There's a severe shortage of consistently high-powered offenses”
Matthew Stafford, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers have combined for 1 game with 20+ fantasy points this season.
Marcus Mariota (166) now has fewer drop backs than Justin Fields (171). THAT'S Kyle Pitts' biggest problem.
DJ Moore is on pace for 57 catches, 578 yards, 3 TDs in 17 games.
D.J. Moore with fewer fantasy points than Bennett Skowronek and Olamide Zaccheaus this season.
“Another stat that is just hard to fathom: Jerry Jeudy has a 47.2 percent catch rate this season (17 catches on 36 targets). That ranks Jeudy 80th among 81 qualified wide receivers, according to TruMedia, ahead of only Carolina's D.J. Moore (45.5%).”

The Fun Stuff:
Seahawks Twitter team is ruthless.

Russell Wilson: Let’s Ride The Ride:
At this rate, soon the Fun Stuff section is just going to be entirely Russell Wilson.
Russell Wilson has seven more bathrooms in his house(12) than he has touchdown passes through 6 games(5).
“Jakobi Meyers has a better floor and ceiling than Najee Harris in PPR formats. What a world, y'all.”

The DJ Moore situation has hit rock bottom.

Another Broncos primetime game.
When your opponent didn't set their lineup, so your 87.5 score was enough for the win.
Every time the camera cuts back to Justin Fields after the play.
