Between the Lines: Week 7 Snap Count Analysis

AFC South

Houston Texans - Miller Back in the Saddle

Quarterback: Deshaun Watson (100%)

Running Backs: Lamar Miller (70%), Alfred Blue (42%), Tyler Ervin (34%)

Wide Receivers: DeAndre Hopkins (100%), Will Fuller (81%), Keke Coutee (25%)

Tight Ends: Jordan Thomas (86%), Jordan Akins (47%)

Any notion that Lamar Miller was not the lead back in Houston was laid to rest in Week 7. Miller finished with 22 carries for 100 yards, both season highs. Alfred Blue saw fewer than 10 touches for the second week in a row. The Houston Texans have won four in a row and have a solid chance to make it five against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. Barring injury, Miller all of a sudden looks like he could be a viable RB2 weekly from here on out, especially if the Texans' defense continues to play well.

Indianapolis Colts - Mack > Pack

Quarterback: Andrew Luck (100%)

Running Backs: Marlon Mack (56%), Nyheim Hines (26%) Jordan Wilkins (23%)

Wide Receivers: Dontrelle Inman (64%), Zach Pascal (62%), Chester Rogers (55%), T.Y. Hilton (53%)

Tight Ends: Eric Ebron (50%), Mo Alie-Cox (48%), Ryan Hewitt (39%), Erik Swoope (9%)

For the second week in a row, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack proved why he deserves lead back duties. After an 89-yard performance last week, Mack went nuts for 126 rushing yards on just 19 carries. He found the end zone twice and added 33 yards on a pair of receptions for good measure. The Colts won't be able to build up a lead like they did in Week 7 every week, but any respectable rushing game coupled with Andrew Luck at quarterback makes the Colts a scary opponent going forward.

Jacksonville Jaguars - Bortles Out, Kessler In

Quarterback: Cody Kessler (56%), Blake Bortles (44%)

Running Back: T.J. Yeldon (82%)

Wide Receivers: Donte Moncrief (81%), Keelan Cole (76%), Dede Westbrook (74%), D.J. Chark (44%)

Tight Ends: David Grinnage (46%), Blake Bell (32%)

If you wanted to see awful football on display, then you need not have looked further than the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. The team got down 20-0 thanks in large part to uninspiring play from Blake Bortles. Bortles, who went 6-for-12 for 61 yards, was pulled in favor of former Cleveland Brown Cody Kessler. The Jags have now scored jut 28 combined points over their past three games, and they're not likely going to add much to that tally this week in London against the Philadelphia Eagles. Avoid this quarterback situation with everything you can muster.

Tennessee Titans - London Falling

Quarterback: Marcus Mariota (100%)

Running Backs: Dion Lewis (63%), Derrick Henry (34%)

Wide Receivers: Corey Davis (86%), Tajae Sharpe (79%), Taywan Taylor (69%)

Tight Ends: Jonnu Smith (79%), Luke Stocker (42%), Anthony Firkser (21%)

The Tennessee Titans were almost able to topple a Melvin Gordon-less Los Angeles Chargers in London this week. In fact, they could have forced overtime, but they instead decided to go for two points down one with under a minute remaining in the game. While that's a hotly debated decision, the end result is that the Titans have dropped three straight and are now 3-4 on the season. Their offense has looked uninspired the past few weeks, and someone on the roster is going to need to step up. Who that is isn't clear, but the team better decide quickly as Houston has won four straight and is looking to run away with the division.
