WRRakim Jarrett14.5%920.0%3401-9-0 3.0%5.3%
  • RB Chase Edmonds had five touches for 21 yards on eight snaps in his first appearance since Week 2, with fellow backup RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn dropping to one touch on four snaps.
  • RB Rachaad White played 81% of snaps, taking nine of the 13 RB carries and seven of the 10 targets (70% of the opportunities overall).
    • White has reached 40 rushing yards just twice this year, but after big receiving lines in back-to-back weeks he's averaging 4.1 catches for 33.3 yards per game, which has him on pace for 1,304 total yards (but only 2.4 TDs).
  • No. 3 WR Trey Palmer actually ran a few more routes than Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, both of whom scored touchdowns.
    • Rakim Jarrett and Deven Thompkins stole a few snaps/routes from Evans and Godwin.
    • Evans scored a 24-yard TD on a 4th-and-10 late in the fourth quarter, getting away with a push-off to catch an underthrown ball from Baker Mayfield. It was generally a pathetic drive despite getting Tampa back in the game; nearly all the yardage before Evans' TD came from check downs to the RBs or Buffalo penalties.
  • TE Cade Otton drew six targets, matching his season high from Weeks 2 and 7. He still doesn't have more than 10.3 PPR points or 43 yards in any game this year, despite playing 97% of Tampa Bay's snaps on offense.
    • Otton has seen targets on a mere 13.5% of his routes and averaged 7.9 YPR.
    • Palmer has a similar target route,13.7%, and also a poor YPR mark (9.7). 
  • Tampa's passing numbers this year are hideous on balls not thrown to Evans/Godwin/White.
    • Those three have combined for 1,192 yards on 141 targets (8.5 YPT).
    • The rest of the team has 408 yards on 95 targets (4.3 YPT).
      • QB Baker Mayfield isn't totally free of blame there, but it's part of why we may not see Kyle Trask until the very end of the season, if at all. Mayfield is surrounded by a few really good players — mostly Evans, Godwin and LT Tristan Wirfs — but the Bucs also have a bunch of starters that arguably shouldn't be starters at this point in their respective careers, namely Otton, Palmer and rookie RG Cody Mauch.
  • We always hear about it when a TNF game is full of injuries or sloppy football. This wasn't a classic battle by any means, but there were no in-game injuries reported and the only turnover was a Tampa interception from a batted pass. It was a decent game, and most of the fantasy-relevant guys put up solid scores.

  • With TEs Dawson Knox (IR - wrist) and Quintin Morris (ankle) both inactive, the Bills ran nine plays with four WRs and no TEs on the field, plus seven other plays with an offensive lineman serving as a tight end.
  • TE Dalton Kincaid played a career-high 84% of snaps, up from the 51-61% range he'd landed in each of the previous five games.
    • Kincaid had a new best for PPR points (17.5) for a second straight week, scoring his first TD and seeing his second most targets of the season.
      • The rookie has caught 13 of 15 targets for 140 yards and a TD over the past two games. with those two games accounting for over half his fantasy points on the season (in seven appearances).
  • WR Khalil Shakir also had season highs for snap/route share, plus career highs for targets, catches and yards.
    • Shakir lost a few routes to Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty, but mostly it was the four-wide formations that allowed Sherfield to get a decent chunk of playing time. Shakir was on the field for 74% of Buffalo's pass snaps.
  • WR Gabriel Davis caught nine passes, his first time with more than six in a regular-season game. His 12 targets were the second most he's ever seen in a game, including playoffs.
    • Prior to his Thursday, his usage actually looked slightly worse than last season's (5.0 targets per game) only with better results (9.9 YPT). Now his per-game target numbers (5.9) look essentially identical, but his aDOT is down (15.2 to 12.7) and his catch rate is way, way up (51.6% to 66.0%).
  • WR Stefon Diggs had a 15-yard catch on Buffalo's final drive to become the fourth Bills pass catcher with 15+ PPR points on the night. His 12 targets tied Davis for the team high.
  • RB James Cook handled 66% of snaps and 15 of 21 RB touches, with the rest going to Latavius Murray.

  • WR Rashee Rice got 61% route and snap shares and was the only Chief besides TE Travis Kelce with more than four targets (five).
  • Patrick Mahomes was sick over the weekend and not at his best Sunday. The Chiefs turned the ball over five times, including two Mahomes INTs and a lost fumble.
  • Isiah Pacheco's workload slumped a bit in negative game script, but he still got more snaps than Jerick McKinnon, which wouldn't have been the case in this type of contest last year.

  • RB Emari Demercado got 56% of snaps and a much larger share of the RB touches (21 of 27).
    • RB Keaontay Ingram played a decent amount and ran eight more routes but got only two carries. Kind of weird, considering a few weeks ago the Cardinals were using Ingram as the main runner and Demercardo as the passing-down guy.
  • TE Trey McBride got 83% of snaps and 90% of routes on his way to 10-95-1 on 14 targets. A lot of it was in quasi-garbage time, and with a QB no longer on the team. But it's still the type of volume that demands attention (and waiver bids).

  • WR Joshua Palmer played through a knee injury, then briefly left the game, but he still ended up handling 80% route share.
  • WR Quentin Johnston finally made some noise but was still only the No. 3 WR.
  • TE Donald Parham got a season-high 62% of snaps and 50% of routes, and scored another TD. Gerald Everett (quad) was inactive.
