No stat correlates more closely with Fantasy scoring at the RB position than snap rate.
A player's route involvement rate simply represents the percentage of the team's total dropbacks on which that player ran a route. So, in Week 1, the running backs listed above all ran a route on at least 60 percent of their team's dropbacks. Running routes is the first step towards drawing targets, which is key to unlocking Fantasy upside at the RB position.
Targets are essential in accessing top-end Fantasy RB upside, so it is exciting when teams go out of their way to find creative ways to get their backs involved in the passing game.
So which running backs were leaned on in the red zone in Week 2? And what do you need to know about how every running back was used in the passing game this past week? ...
