5 NFL Red Zone Trends to Monitor for Week 6

Sony Michel's Elite Volume

Since making his NFL debut in Week 2, Sony Michel has seen at least 40% of the New England Patriots' red zone opportunities (rushes plus targets) in all four of his games. That has been good for a 41.4% market share, as well as a 73.9% share of the red zone rush attempts.

Only seven players have a higher opportunity market share, while only five have a higher rushing market share on the season than Michel has in his active games. Michel doesn't rank quite as high on the season, because he missed Week 1, but he still sits 8th in rushing market share and 16th in opportunity market share.

The Patriots' 52 red zone snaps are an above-average mark this season, and ranking eighth in numberFire's Adjusted Net Expected Points (NEP) per play metric, scoring opportunities should remain plentiful in New England.

Michel has scored in each of his last two games, and with this dominant red zone workload, there should be plenty more scoring in the rookie's future.
