Between the Lines: Week 9 Snap Count Analysis

AFC South

Houston Texans - DT Needs No Time to Gel

Quarterback: Deshaun Watson (100%)

Running Backs: Lamar Miller (65%), Alfred Blue (35%), Tyler Ervin (16%)

Wide Receivers: DeAndre Hopkins (98%), Demaryius Thomas (79%), Vyncint Smith (5%)

Tight Ends: Ryan Griffin (76%), Jordan Thomas (63%), Jordan Akins (58%)

If anybody had any questions about Demaryius Thomas's potential on the Houston Texans, he gave everyone answers early in the team's 19-17 win over the Denver Broncos. Thomas caught Deshaun Watson's first two passes of the day for 49 yards. He'd only catch one more against his former team, but it was enough to be the second-leading receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins. Thomas should be a solid WR3 for fantasy purposes moving forward on a team that has won six straight games. If your team makes it to championship week (Week 16), Thomas gets a plus matchup against a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has been bottom five against opposing wideouts in all formats this season.

Indianapolis Colts - Bye Week

Jacksonville Jaguars - Bye Week

Tennessee Titans - Lewis Leads the Way

Quarterback: Marcus Mariota (100%)

Running Backs: Dion Lewis (84%), Derrick Henry (20%)

Wide Receivers: Corey Davis (93%), Tajae Sharpe (79%), Cameron Batson (43%), Taywan Taylor (26%)

Tight Ends: Jonnu Smith (76%), Luke Stocker (49%), Anthony Firkser (11%)

Though Derrick Henry found the end zone for the second-straight week, Monday night's game was all about Dion Lewis. Lewis played a season high 84% of the Tennessee Titans' offensive snaps this week, finishing with team-highs in carries (19), rushing yards (64), and receiving yards (60). His 23 touches were a season-high, and he's now finished as an RB1 in each of his past two games.
