Snap Count Trends Analysis (Weeks 1–8)

The Positional Usage Index through Week 8 shows clear structural patterns that have held with only modest movement.

Extreme High-WR / Low-TE Teams (Sticky)

• TEN: WR scale 100, TE 12, Balance 52.2 — highest WR concentration

• PHI: WR 99, TE 14, Balance 51.7

• CLE: WR 92, TE 10, Balance 44.1

• DAL: WR 87, TE 12, Balance 40.1

These teams continue to operate with elevated WR on-field averages (2.62–2.74) and suppressed TE usage. The structure has remained consistent across the full sample; recent weeks have not produced material regression in the top group.

Extreme High-TE

• LV: TE scale 100 (on-field 2.05), Balance 55.0 — still the clearest outlier

• LAR: TE 75

• BUF: TE 74

LV’s TE volume remains the league's largest positional concentration. LAR and BUF sit in a secondary tier of elevated TE usage.

Balanced / Lower-Concentration Teams

Teams such as SEA, CIN, KC, and DET continue to post the lowest Balance scores, reflecting more even distribution across RB/WR/TE on-field averages. These teams show smaller week-to-week positional swings.

Recent Movement (W6–7 window relative to earlier weeks)

• Largest WR share gains: SEA, BAL, CLE, CIN, IND

• Largest TE share gains: TB, DET, LAR, NE, CAR, ARI

• Largest RB share gains: MIA, SF, PIT

High-WR teams (PHI, TEN, DAL) largely held or slightly increased their WR share rather than reverting toward the mean. High-TE outlier LV remained stable.

Key Observations

• High-WR / low-TE structure is sticky through eight weeks. The top four (TEN, PHI, CLE, DAL) have not shown meaningful regression.

• LV remains the dominant high-TE outlier with limited movement.

• Balanced teams exhibit the smallest positional deltas, consistent with more even personnel usage.

• RB concentration varies week to week more than WR or TE concentration in most teams.
