His role

2024 · share of his team's snaps
+12points of snap shareHe was playing more by the end of the season.

83% of his team's offensive snaps across his first 13 games of 2024, 95% across the last 3 — and 4.7 touches or attempts a game against 7.3, up 2.6.

Snap share is the cleanest read on a role there is: touches depend on whether the ball came his way, while the share of snaps is the coaching staff's own statement about his job, made every week. It moves before the points do. It cannot say why it moved — injury, benching, game script and a change of scheme all look identical here.

Each game is divided by how generous that opponent was to his position in 2024, so beating a soft defence counts for less and beating a hard one counts for more. The index is that division: below 1 is a hard schedule, above 1 an easy one, and it differs by stat because a defence generous with catches need not be generous with yards. 16 of 16 games had an opponent rating; the rest are left unadjusted rather than dropped, so the two columns stay comparable. Over a full season the correction is small, because schedules largely even out. It matters far more across three or five games than across seventeen.
