Between the Lines: Week 1 Snap Count Analysis
NFC North
Chicago Bears - Taylor Gabriel a Primary Option
Quarterback: Mitchell Trubisky (100%)
Running Backs: Jordan Howard (71%), Tarik Cohen (40%)
Wide Receivers: Allen Robinson (96%), Taylor Gabriel (87%), Anthony Miller (56%)
Tight End: Trey Burton (87%)
Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen could both have a viable role in this offense, much like Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson. Allen Robinson is back. Taylor Gabriel adds an explosive dimension to this offense. Brighter days are ahead for Trey Burton.
Detroit Lions - Play Monday Night
Green Bay Packers - Rodgers Provides a Scare, Returns
Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers (77%), DeShone Kizer (23%)
Running Backs: Jamaal Williams (62%), Ty Montgomery (38%)
Wide Receivers: Davante Adams (98%), Randall Cobb (87%), Geronimo Allison (70%)
Tight End: Jimmy Graham (98%)
Ty Montgomery looked much more elusive than Jamaal Williams, but his role will always be limited as long as Williams and the currently suspended Aaron Jones are around. Jimmy Graham showed near-every-snap usage. This team desperately needs Aaron Rodgers to stay healthy.
Minnesota Vikings - Cook Without Limits
Quarterback: Kirk Cousins (100%)
Running Backs: Dalvin Cook (80%), Latavius Murray (20%)
Wide Receivers: Adam Thielen (96%), Stefon Diggs (86%), Laquon Treadwell (54%)
Tight End: Kyle Rudolph (83%)
Dalvin Cook needed no training wheels and appeared to show no limitations. Back to backup duties for Latavius Murray. Treadwell is the number-three receiver. Nothing else to see here.
