What is a target share?
The share of his team's targets thrown his way: 8 targets out of 32 is a 25% target share. A carry share is the same for running plays, and a snap share for the plays he is on the field for.
What are air yards and red-zone looks?
Air yards are how far the ball travels past the line of scrimmage on a pass thrown to him, caught or not. A red-zone look is a carry or a target inside the opponent's 20-yard line.
How is a trend measured?
His last three games against his earlier games this season. A trend needs at least five games, and a change of 5 points of target share, or 10 of carries or snaps.
Why are some games left out?
A game he left hurt, a game a regular teammate at his position left early, and a blowout's garbage time say little about his role, so they are marked on his chart and left out of the trend.
Which sportsbook are the lines from?
Bet365, refreshed through the week as lines and prices move.
