San Francisco 49ers

• In Week 1, Brandon Aiyuk (58 Snaps/85.0% Snap Share) played just one fewer snap than Deebo Samuel (59 Snaps/87.0% Snap Share) but vastly outproduced his teammate. Aiyuk saw a team-high eight targets (27.6% Target Share) catching all eight for 129 yards and two touchdowns.

• Aiyuk was forced to exit the 49ers Week 2 contest early, paving the way for Samuel to retake the throne as the WR1 on the offense. Aiyuk finished with three receptions for 43 yards on six targets (% Target Share) and % Snap Share (Snaps)

• Samuel received a team-high nine targets (24.1% Target Share), catching six for 63 yards as the team’s top wideout.

• Christian McCaffrey led the charge with a 100.0% Snap Share (57 Snaps), 100.0% Rush Share (20 Carries) and 12.0% target share (3 Targets) while no other member of the 49ers backfield played a single snap.

• Rookie Zach Charbonnet saw just 19 snaps (26.0% Snap Share) with two targets (4.9% Target Share) and only four carries (18.2% Rush Share).

• DK Metcalf (60 Snaps/83.0% Snap Share) and Tyler Lockett (61 Snaps/85.0% Snap Share) predictably led the way with team-high totals in Snap percentage.

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba kept pace as a target earner, matching Metcalf with six targets (14.6% Target Share) despite playing only 40 snaps (56.0% Snap Share).

• Both Metcalf and Smith-Njigba fell well short of Lockett’s team-high 10 targets (24.4% Target Share).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• Baker Mayfield appears to be amidst a career resurgence as the Buccaneers starting quarterback. Mayfield has led the team to a 2-0 start, posting 490 passing yards on a 69.1% completion rating with three touchdowns and no turnovers through his first two starts of the season.

• Rachaad White failed to find meaningful production in Week 1 but showed encouraging usage with a 70.8% Rush Share (17 Carries) and 79.0% Snap Share (54 Snaps).

• That encouraging usage led to positive results in Week 2 as the second-year back rushed for 73 yards on 17 carries with one touchdown while adding five receptions on five targets for 30 yards.

• Mike Evans and Chris Godwin tied for a team-high eight targets (23.5% Target Share), with Evans once again out producing his teammate.

• Evans hauled in six passes for 171 yards and one touchdown compared to Godwin’s five receptions for 58 yards and no scores.

• Godwin led the Buccaneers with 53 snaps (75.0% Snap Share). while Evans trailed with 43 snaps (61.0% Snap Share).

Tennessee Titans

• In Week 1, the Titans allocated 100.0% of the third-down opportunities to Tyjae Spears with the rookie gaining a higher snap percentage than the bruising veteran. 

• In Week 2, that number stood tall again with Spears handling 86.0% of third-down work. 

• Henry is rightfully leading the charge as the top option, but not by much. The long-time destructor of defenders has played 76 snaps in two games (59.4%) with a 12.1% target share (7 Targets) and 40 carries (78.4% Rush Share). 

• Spears, on the other hand, has played 45.3% of the team’s snaps (58) earning six targets (10.4%) and 11 carries, all of which he has made the most of, posting 76 yards with a YPC of 6.9.

• No Titans wideout played more than 70.0% of the offensive snaps.

• DeAndre Hopkins (39 Snaps/60.0% Snap Share) led the team with five targets (20.8%) despite being on a limited snap count as a last-minute game-time decision.

Washington Commanders

• Brian Robinson is the stand-alone lead running back until further notice. Robinson posted a 61.0% (43 Snaps) and 19 carries (76.0% Rush Share) with two targets (6.5% Target Share) in Week 1.

• Robinson followed that up with a 52.0% snap share (38 Snaps) and 18 carries (90.0% Rush Share) with two targets (7.7% Target Share) in Week 2.

• Antonio Gibson is nothing more than a depth piece on the Commanders' offense. Gibson has handled just four targets and five carries in the past two games.

• In the first two games of the season Robinson has registered 146 rushing yards on 37 carries (4.0 YPC/82.2% Rush Share) with 49 receiving yards on three receptions, scoring three touchdowns with a 56.2% snap share (81 Snaps), 7.7% target share (5 Targets), and 82.2% rushing share (37 Carries).
