Snap share stock report time! This is where I examine snap share data from every single team and highlight some players that may have seen a notable spike or dip in playing time and/or usage. Fantasy football championship week, LFG!!!

Taysom Hill - STOCK UP -

When folks were debating, “Audric Estimé or Evan Hull???” it turns out the answer was Taysom Hill. The do-it-all weapon had the Taysom-est stat line ever versus the Jets: 12 carries for 42 yards, four catches for 36 and chipping in with a 38-yard passing touchdown to boot.

Hill got the rare start and played a season-high 42% of the snaps. Watching the game it felt as if the coaching staff, who has no affiliation with Sean Payton, also came to realize that Hill was a much better running back option than the end-of-the-rotation guys they had left over after the Neal injury.

Alvin Kamara is still working through a MCL injury and missed Tuesday’s walkthrough practice. If he is out again this week versus Tennessee, why the hell not swing for the fences and start Taysom in your TE spot?

Marquez Valdes-Scantling - STOCK UP -

With DK Metcalf suspended for the rest of the regular season it could be Rodgers’ ole buddy MVS to step up in that X-receiver role for the Steelers.

The former Packer/Chief played just 43% of the snaps this past week but it was tied for the second-most among the Pittsburgh receivers and if you look around the roster, it’s hard to find another reliable outside receiver among the bunch.

MVS already has one touchdown from Rodgers this year. Let’s see if they can’t rekindle a little bit of that magic against a Browns defense that has given up four touchdowns to outside wide receivers over their last four games.

Kenneth Walker III - STOCK NEUTRAL -

Every few weeks we seem to play this same old song and dance. Walker goes off, we get excited thinking OC Klint Kubiak will FINALLY take the bumpers off and unleash the beast but each and every week the only thing that changes is whether Walker can hit on a big play.

This is a long way for me to say he did not see an increase in playtime — in fact, his 43% snap share was the second time in as many weeks Walker’s played less than half the offensive snaps.

Against the Panthers in Week 17, expect more of the same.

Rashid Shaheed - STOCK DOWN -

After seemingly “breaking out” in Week 15, Shaheed once again fell back in Week 16, playing his usual 50-55% of the snaps.

On that aforementioned Week 15 game, Shaheed set a Seattle high in targets, receptions and yards. This past week? One meager target, no catches. In real life his impact was much greater as he scored on a punt return and had one big-time run for 31 yards.

Treylon Burks - STOCK UP -

He saw his snap share spike up, going from 46% the week prior to 83% this past game against the Eagles, tying Terry McLaurin for the most snaps played at receiver.

His five targets wasn’t overly impressive but it did lead the team.

Like you, I’m not terribly interested in the former first-round flame out but he’s someone you should at least pay attention to for next year, if only to see if he has ANY juice left. It’ll be interesting to see if Washington rolls him out there at such an expansive rate again.

Emeka Egbuka - STOCK DOWN -

Let me issue a mea culpa because last week I liked the idea of Egbuka seeing a slight tick down in snap share if that meant a big uptick in efficiency. That was obviously under the assumption that Egbuka’s snap share wouldn’t continue to slide, which it absolutely did.

After his snap share was in the high 80’s all year long, he dipped to 64% in Week 15 but in Week 16 that number fell to just 57%. Anything between 65-75% I’m good with, but below that, it starts getting into that Shaheed-ish volatility range.

With Jalen McMillan playing just one snap less than Egbuka, the rookie ended up seeing just two targets, converting one for a big 40-yard gain.

Egbuka’s got a good matchup versus a Miami defense with one foot in Cancun but he’s impossible to trust.

Isiah Pacheco - STOCK UP? -

With the offense in utter shambles and KC down to their third-string quarterback, the team leaned on the run more and Pacheco played a season-high 73% of the snaps.

The question really becomes, do we care? A massively disappointing season, the life has been sucked out of Arrowhead in more ways than one. With a scout team level offense, can anyone reasonably play Pacheco against a stout Broncos defense this week?

Kevin Austin Jr. - STOCK UP -

The former Notre Dame product absolutely sounds like a Madden create-a-player NPC but with the Devaughn Vele injury, Austin played a whopping 85% of the snaps this past week.

An excellent athlete, Austin at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds ran a 4.43 with an impressive 39-inch vertical. That being said, don’t get too, too excited as Austin is actually a fourth-year player with 14 career receptions.

This past week, he ran the second-most routes and posted a 3/2/18 slash line.

OTHER SNAP SHARE NOTES:

Marvin Harrison Jr.: Coming back from a heel injury, the team obviously capped his playtime, as he only played 50% of the snaps. Look for that number to jump this week versus a bad Cincy defense.

Kyle Williams: Keep an eye on the rookie. He only played 38% of the snaps last week but it seems like his utilization is creeping upwards ever so slightly. After scoring a touchdown AGAIN, (3/2/46/TD) the rookie now has three scores on just SEVEN catches. The funny thing about it is, the former Wazzu man is scoring on these big, go balls deep downfield. Collegiately he was much, much, much, much more of an in-breaking, intermediate area of the field, run-after-the-catch guy. So to see him doing this downfield is a really exciting part of his game that was previously an unknown. He’ll be one of my favorite deep sleepers next year.

Konata Mumpfield: With Davante Adams sidelined, the seventh-round rookie from Akron/Pitt stepped in. The 5-11, 185 pound receiver ran a slow 4.59 at the combine but has solid chops as a route runner. He posted a 8/3/40 slash line in relief of Davante. I thought Jordan Whittington would have gotten more burn but he only played 16% of the snaps, running just four routes.

Raheim Sanders: Quinshon Judkins suffered a gruesome broken leg and we saw Sanders split the workload with Trayveon Williams. It sounds like Dylan Sampson (hand/calf) is close to returning though and if he does, he’s most likely the lead with Sanders and Williams splitting backup touches.

Jaylen Wright: Outsnapped fellow backup Ollie Gordon II, 31% to 5%. It’s the second time in three games he’s done that. Wright is a freak athlete but Gordon was significantly more productive at the collegiate level. If I'm in a dynasty league and looking for a taxi squad dart throw, I’m more interested in Wright than Gordon.
