    Week 9 Usage Report: How running backs split snaps, targets, red zone work and more for every team

    Get downloaded on everything you need to know about running back usage in Week 9 from one of the nation's top Fantasy experts

    Each week, SportsLine's Fantasy expert Jacob Gibbs will provide a data-driven deep-dive into Sunday's games to help provide a better understanding of what we learned and how it will impact the Fantasy outlook of specific teams and players.

    Below, you can find full team-by-team data on snap counts, target share, routes run, red-zone usage and more for every Fantasy relevant running back. Check back later in the week for What We Learned, where Gibbs will break down all the takeaways you should have from Week 9, pulling largely from the information here and in his usage report for wide receivers and tight ends. 

    If you have questions about any stats, players, or situations covered or not covered in this article, feel free to reach out to Gibbs on Twitter.

    Week 9 Leaders

    Snap rate

    No stat correlates more closely with Fantasy scoring at the RB position than snap rate.

    Route involvement 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, the running backs listed above ran a route on at least 53 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.

    Red zone snap rate

    Let's dig into the full data on Week 8 usage rates.
