By now you are familiar with my Wednesday morning Snap Counts. If you are new to the Fantasy Alarm Assistant G.M. then I welcome you with an open heart. Every week I comb over the amount of plays that each NFL team has run and find the trends that we as fantasy football players can use to gain an advantage.
Normally I like to point out the players that are getting an increase in their snaps as that usually leads to an increase in fantasy production. But today I want to address those players that aren’t necessarily getting a lot of snaps but who are capitalizing on theirs the most. Let’s talk about fantasy points per snap.
Fantasy points per snap shows us a few things. It demonstrates which players are making an impact in limited duty. These players are likely to see an increase in snaps and therefore production going forward. This will also show us which players are getting a ton of playing time but really not making anything happen.
I am going to break this down by PPR league scoring only for now. If you want more data about standard scoring leagues I would be more than happy to run some numbers for you. Hit me up on Twitter (@Jeff_Mans) or leave your comments below.
Let’s take a look position by position at fantasy points per snap.
