Between the Lines: Week 1 Snap Count Analysis

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys - Swaim the Tight End to Target

Quarterback: Dak Prescott (100%)

Running Back: Ezekiel Elliott (92%)

Wide Receivers: Cole Beasley (68%), Allen Hurns (59%), Deonte Thompson (47%), Michael Gallup (45%), Terrance Williams (30%)

Tight End: Geoff Swaim (91%), Blake Jarwin (34%)

Ezekiel Elliott shares the backfield with no one. Michael Gallup and Terrance Williams are somehow taking a backseat to Deonte Thompson. Geoff Swaim has earned the starting tight end job. This offense needs a jolt of excitement in the passing game. Who could offer it? I like Gallup to see more and more snaps.

New York Giants - Saquon Hits the Ground Running

Quarterback: Eli Manning (100%)

Running Backs: Saquon Barkley (77%), Jonathan Stewart (14%)

Wide Receivers: Odell Beckham (96%), Sterling Shepard (86%), Cody Latimer (66%)

Tight Ends: Evan Engram (90%), Rhett Ellison (41%)

There were no limits on Saquon Barkley in Week 1, and he dazzled on a tremendous long touchdown run. Evan Engram is here to stay. Odell Beckham will get all the targets he wants.

Philadelphia Eagles - Wallace Should be on Your Radar

Quarterback: Nick Foles (100%)

Running Backs: Jay Ajayi (40%), Darren Sproles (40%), Corey Clement (18%)

Wide Receivers: Nelson Agholor (94%), Mike Wallace (92%), DeAndre Carter (74%)

Tight End: Zach Ertz (97%), Dallas Goedert (24%)

Mike Wallace is primed to pop. He makes a tremendous GPP lineup play for Week 2, even if Nick Foles continues to start. Darren Sproles is a surprise contender for a legitimate role in this offense. Jay Ajayi's workload should grow.

Washington Redskins - Two-Man Backfield? No Problem

Quarterback: Alex Smith (100%)

Running Backs: Adrian Peterson (53%), Chris Thompson (42%), Rob Kelley (10%)

Wide Receivers: Josh Doctson (89%), Paul Richardson (77%), Jamison Crowder (62%)

Tight Ends: Vernon Davis (59%), Jordan Reed (52%), Jeremy Sprinkle (43%)

There was plenty of room for both Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson in the Washington backfield, as both had a field day against Arizona. Washington clearly wants Josh Doctson to be their primary receiver, but his performance was not there to start the season. Jordan Reed is being eased back into the lineup.
