Week 10 Fantasy Football Usage Report
Raiders Pass Catchers
The Raiders now find themselves in a post-Jakobi Meyers world. We know Brock Bowers is the key player in Vegas’ passing game, but it was hard to predict how everyone else would blend in. Now we have some results.
First, the Raiders are now a two-tight-end offense. Michael Mayer played 61.7% of the snaps and ran 43.2% of the routes. Tre Tucker led the wide receivers, playing every snap and running a route on every pass attempt. Next up were Tyler Lockett and Dont’e Thornton Jr. Lockett played 56.7% of the snaps and ran 75.7% of the routes. Thornton Jr. managed 62.2% of routes on 61.7% of snaps. Second-round rookie Jack Bech trailed on 21.6% of routes and 23.3% of snaps.
Tyler Lockett led the Raiders in target share in Week 10, but there’s no ceiling on that. Tre Tucker has had productive weeks in the past, but he has been inconsistent. Michael Mayer’s production isn’t good enough while Brock Bowers is healthy. Bowers and Ashton Jeanty are the only valuable Raiders for fantasy football right now.
Alec Pierce takes off
Alec Pierce has made legitimate progress in his third season. He entered the NFL as a big/speed threat, used primarily to run go route after go route. In his second season, Pierce showed some improvement as a player, although he remained an inconsistent deep threat. This year, Pierce is becoming more and more of a complete player, and he can show the results.
Pierce controls 70% of the Colts operations routes while playing 67.1% of snaps, and he has earned a 15.4% target share. Based on that usage, Pierce is averaging 11.6 PPR PPG. Speaking of his improvement as a player, he is averaging 2.3 yards per route this year.
Alec Pierce has turned himself into a legitimate flex player in fantasy football. His production should be even better than he already has. Pierce has scored just one touchdown so far this year despite scoring seven in 2024. Pierce could enjoy some touchdown regression the rest of the season.
The new landscape by Jakobi Meyers
Jakobi Meyers requested a trade this offseason, and he ultimately got his wish right at the deadline. Prior to the move, Meyers had been a disappointment. He was not as involved as we are used to and when he did see work, he did little with his opportunities. There’s a chance that Jakobi “pursued” Meyers when he was with the Raiders because he wanted to be traded.
With Meyers joining the receiving room of the battered Jaguars, he will have a chance to regain his lost fantasy form. In his first game with the Jaguars, Meyers played 43.5% of the snaps, ran 48.5% of the routes and earned a 13% target share. Before the week, Liam Coen said his offense is difficult to learn, so it should come as no surprise that Jakobi Meyers was a part-time player in his first game. Meyers is a better player than Parker Washington; he should catch up to Washington sooner rather than later. Meyers can be a WR3 for the Jaguars. Even if Brian Thomas Jr. is back, we just need to see his usage increase, which he should.
Juwan Johnson returns
Juwan Johnson was one of the biggest storylines at the beginning of the season. He played an elite role, playing almost all the snaps and running all the routes. With his role, Johnson produced like a top tight end. But when Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau returned, Johnson’s role diminished. Over the past two weeks, with teammate Tyler Shough as the starting quarterback, Johnson’s role has not fully returned, but he has been producing. During that time, Johnson has run 74.1% of routes on 57.8% of snaps and has a target share of 15.1%. In those two weeks he scored 12.1 and 19.2 PPR points.
His role isn’t as reliable anymore, but there’s reason to believe Johnson could continue to produce. The “shower story” of Juwan Johnson and Tyler Shough playing together in college is real. They clearly have a connection. Johnson is one of the best streaming tight ends available.
Theo Johnson: Red Zone weapon
Quietly, Theo Johnson has been one of the better players in fantasy football since Malik Nabers’ injury. Since Nabers went down, Johnson has averaged 12.1 PPR PPG on five touchdowns. On the season, Johnson has played 84.1% of the Giants’ snaps and run 77.7% of the routes. He has earned a target share of 15.2%. Since Week 5, with Nabers out, his target share has increased to 22.4%. Johnson is a big, athletic tight end. The Giants have done an excellent job utilizing his physical abilities in the red zone, where Johnson has flourished.
When Theo Johnson entered the NFL, he still had a lot of fine-tuning to do, but it looks like he’s on his way. The Giants put him in a good position to win, and he rewards them for it. Believe it or not, Johnson is a low-end TE1.
Jerry Jeudy expected points regression
You wouldn’t know it based on his fantasy points, but Jerry Jeudy has played well so far this season. Entering Week 10, Jeudy ran 91.1% of routes on 84.6% of snaps and earned a 17.2% target share. However, he did next to nothing with it, averaging just 6.0 PPR PPG. Some of this inefficiency can be attributed to Jeudy, who has always been a bit of an inconsistent player; the rest can be attributed to Dillon Gabriel’s inaccuracy. Whether it was due to variance or improvement, Jeudy was able to perform in Week 10, scoring 19.8 PPR points.
If Jerry Jeudy and Dillon Gabriel can stay on the same page, Jeudy could be a valuable fantasy asset. The problem is, I didn’t count on that happening, and that we could still see Shedeur Sanders at some point. In deep leagues you can grade Jeudy for depth, but that’s it.
Rashid Shaheed reunites with Klint Kubiak
Leading up to the trade deadline, Rashid Shaheed was one of the most talked about names. The former free agent quickly made a name for himself in the NFL as an explosive playmaker. Since then, Shaheed has developed more of his game and has become a solid route runner. But with the Saints clearly rebuilding, it made sense for Shaheed to trade. Fortunately for Shaheed, he joined his former offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, in Seattle, where he pairs perfectly with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. In his first game with the Seahawks, Shaheed played 33.9% of the snaps, ran 61.5% of the routes and earned an 8.3% target share. He also had two porters.
This was a unique game where the Seahawks attempted only twelve passes because their defense scored twice and they were in control the entire time. Still, it was nice to see Rashid Shaheed run the majority of routes and get rushing attempts in his first game. His role should increase from here. Shaheed is a boom/bust WR3.
Marvin Harrison Jr.’s new best friend
This offseason I spoke out about the disappearance of Marvin Harrison Jr. at his expense. His relationship with Kyler Murray was too volatile as a rookie, and there was no reason to believe that would change in 2025. But now that Murray is injured and Jacoby Brissett is there, things are different. While Brissett may be less talented than Murray, he is better suited for this offense. Brissett is willing and able to make the throws in the middle of the field that Murray did not and could not.
In his three healthy games since Brissett became the starter, Harrison is averaging 14.9 PPR PPG on a 15.3% target share. With Murray as his quarterback, he totaled 12.5 PPR PPG on a target share of 15.9%. His role is the same, but his production is better.
It’s worth noting that two of the three healthy games Marvin Harrison Jr. has played with Jacoby Brissett, also against tough defenses in the Packers and Seahawks. With Jacoby Brissett, Harrison Jr. from a WR3 to a WR2.
Tree Week by George Kittle
George Kittle returned in Week 7 after missing five weeks with a hamstring injury. He was expected to be a big part of the 49ers passing attack and be a difference maker for our fantasy teams. Since his return, however, Kittle’s performance has been up and down. Before Week 10, he had one game over 14 PPR points and two under seven. Week 10 was fantastic though, as he scored 23.3 PPR points.
Kittle’s snaps and routes have been normal since his return, at 88.4% and 83.9% respectively, but Week 10 marked the first time since his return that he had a target share above 13.8%. In fact, Kittle had a target share of 23.1%. We know that George Kittle is extremely talented; it’s just a matter of how committed he is. We expect his usage to be more similar to week 10, and that’s what I would expect going forward. Kittle probably needed a few weeks of ramp-up, and that’s okay. Kittle is a top-five tight end going forward.
Treylon Burks is alive?!
Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. However, with injuries to Terry McLaurin and Luke McCaffrey, there were shots to be taken. Burks joined the Commanders before Week 7 and had his first game action in Week 9, playing 50.8% of the snaps but receiving only one target. He actually played fewer snaps in Week 10, playing just 38.9%, but had three targets for a target share of 13.6%. He caught all of his targets for 61 yards on the day. Is Burks trying to revive his career with the Commanders?
I don’t think there’s actually anything to see here. Treylon Burks has had plenty of opportunities to do something with his NFL career but has yet to do so. It’s nice to see him play again, but I don’t expect anything. Even as the commanders’ injuries continue, Burks isn’t worth a spot on the list until we see a bigger role.
