Between the Lines: Week 6 Snap Count Analysis
Snap counts can give us vital information about which players could pop in future weeks. Who should we be watching after Week 6?

AFC South

Houston Texans - Miller Back in the Saddle

Quarterback: Deshaun Watson (100%)

Running Backs: Lamar Miller (67%), Alfred Blue (41%)

Wide Receivers: DeAndre Hopkins (100%), Will Fuller (85%), Keke Coutee (74%)

Tight Ends: Ryan Griffin (84%), Jordan Thomas (34%)

After missing last week, Lamar Miller retook his starting job from Alfred Blue, seeing the field on 67% of the Texans' plays. He couldn't get much going, unfortunately, and that has been a marker of his season. His 3.7 yards per carry on the year are on par with his underwhelming results from last year. Despite the increase in playing time, we're certainly not enthused to be using him on a weekly basis.

Indianapolis Colts - Mack is Back

Quarterback: Andrew Luck (100%)

Running Backs: Nyheim Hines (45%), Marlon Mack (35%), Robert Turbin (19%)

Wide Receivers: Zach Pascal (88%), Chester Rogers (67%), Ryan Grant (58%), Marcus Johnson (49%)

Tight Ends: Eric Ebron (71%), Erik Swoope (32%)

After missing the past three games, Marlon Mack saw 35% of the snaps and led the Colts with 12 carries and 89 yards. He has provided a strong rushing presence that hasn't existed for Indy so far this year, and he should continue to get the bulk of the backfield work. If he's on the wire and you're weak at RB, he's definitely worth an add.

Jacksonville Jaguars - Charles Gets Solid Work

Quarterback: Blake Bortles (100%)

Running Backs: T.J. Yeldon (65%), Jamaal Charles (35%)

Wide Receivers: Keelan Cole (94%), Dede Westbrook (92%), Donte Moncrief (79%), D.J. Chark (27%)

Tight End: James O'Shaughnessy (75%)

While his 10 total yards were nothing to shout about, what was impressive about Jamaal Charles' performance on Sunday was that he saw the field 35% of the time just a few days after being picked up by the Jaguars. He saw the second-most carries on the team and with Leonard Fournette's continues absence, he's the clear handcuff to TJ Yeldon. While he's not worth pickup up now, you should at least keep his name in the back of your mind.

Tennessee Titans - Henry Continues to See Little Work

Quarterback: Marcus Mariota (100%)

Running Backs: Dion Lewis (73%), Derrick Henry (27%)

Wide Receivers: Corey Davis (86%), Tajae Sharpe (80%), Taywan Taylor (75%)

Tight Ends: Jonnu Smith (57%), Luke Stocker (45%), Anthony Firkser (34%)

It's not Derrick Henry's fault that he was on the field for just 27% of the Titans' offensive snaps on Sunday. Tennessee was under assault from a Baltimore Ravens defense that finished with 11 sacks, a new team record. To say he's been disappointing is a major understatement, and his schedule is not easy from here on out. In fat, the only solid matchup left on his schedule is next month against the Patriots. If he has a big game before then, it would honestly be shocking at this point.
