Between the Lines: Week 8 Snap Count Analysis

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals -DJ Back in the Mix

Quarterback: Josh Rosen (100%)

Running Backs: David Johnson (80%), Chase Edmonds (20%)

Wide Receivers: Larry Fitzgerald (100%), Christian Kirk (76%), Chad Williams (71%), J.J. Nelson (26%)

Tight End: Ricky Seals-Jones (73%), Jermaine Gresham (47%)

With a new offensive coordinator came new hope for those who drafted David Johnson in the first round this year. While Johnson didn't score, he was instantly more productive. Johnson saw his first 100-yard (combined) game since Week 4, which should come as no surprise given that new OC Byron Leftwich wants to use DJ like former coach Bruce Arians did. He averaged 3.7 yards per carry. While that's not great, it's his best mark since Week 2. If you held onto DJ, the second half of the season could prove fruitful.

Los Angeles Rams - That's a Reynolds Wrap

Quarterback: Jared Goff (86%), Sean Mannion (14%)

Running Backs: Todd Gurley (90%), Malcolm Brown (12%)

Wide Receivers: Robert Woods (97%), Brandin Cooks (96%), Josh Reynolds (88%), Nick Williams (13%)

Tight Ends: Tyler Higbee (79%), Gerald Everett (22%)

This is just to say that Josh Reynolds, despite playing over 80% of his team's snaps for the second week in a row, is not worth much of a look going foward. Cooper Kupp has a good chance at returning this week in an expected shootout against the New Orleans Saints, and his presence will make Reynolds worthless for fantasy purposes. Roll with the Rams' studs, and lay Reynolds to rest.

San Francisco 49ers - Breida the Thief

Quarterback: C.J. Beathard (100%)

Running Backs: Kyle Juszczyk (71%), Matt Breida (47%), Raheem Mostert (18%), Alfred Morris (17%)

Wide Receivers: Marquise Goodwin (92%), Kendrick Bourne (82%), Trent Taylor (29%), Dante Pettis (11%)

Tight Ends: George Kittle (91%), Garrett Celek (35%)

Matt Breida has been hurt one way or another nearly every week this season. Yes those who seek to reap the rewards from a potential absence (yours truly spent precious FAAB on Mostert this past week), keep falling by the wayside. If you have any plans for Mostert or Alfred Morris, you might as well abandon them, because Breida will somehow find a way onto the field every week.

Seattle Seahawks -The Other Moore

Quarterback: Russell Wilson (100%)

Running Backs: Chris Carson (67%), Mike Davis (32%)

Wide Receivers: Doug Baldwin (86%), David Moore (71%), Tyler Lockett (70%), Jaron Brown (29%)

Tight Ends: Nick Vannett (49%), Ed Dickson (32%), Darrell Daniels (14%)

While everybody will be focused on Panthers wideout D.J. Moore, there is another Moore that warrants consideration this week in waivers: Seattle Seahawks wideout David Moore. Moore now has touchdowns in three-straight games, and he went off for 97 yards on four grabs this week. He was on the field this week for 71% of the team's offensive snaps, a season-high for him. If he's still on your waiver wire (increasingly unlikely) snap him up before someone else does.
