Between the Lines: Week 14 Snap Count Analysis

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens - Heart of Dixon

Quarterbacks: Lamar Jackson (97%)

Running Backs: Gus Edwards (44%), Kenneth Dixon (32%), Ty Montgomery (27%)

Wide Receivers: Willie Snead (72%), Michael Crabtree (72%), John Brown (70%), Chris Moore (32%)

Tight Ends: Nick Boyle (55%), Mark Andrews (35%), Maxx Williams (31%), Hayden Hurst (25%)

In just his second game back from injured reserve, Kenneth Dixon firmly put his mark in what was almost a strong win in Kansas City. He finished with 8 carries for 59 yards and a score, picking up another 21 yards on his only reception of the day. He was the clear RB2 behind Gus Edwards, and John Harbaugh is looking to get him more involved going forward. With a matchup against the Bucs on tap, it's time to add him if he's available and you have room.

Cincinnati Bengals - Only One to Trust

Quarterback: Jeff Driskel (100%)

Running Backs: Joe Mixon (70%), Giovani Bernard (37%)

Wide Receivers: Tyler Boyd (96%), John Ross (90%), Cody Core (49%), Alex Erickson (30%)

Tight End: C.J. Uzomah (87%), Matt Lengel (25%)

This team is in such disarray right now. While you have a case to use Tyler Boyd as a flex play on a weekly basis, the only player on this roster that is really trustworthy at the moment is Joe Mixon. Cody Core showed some promise for the second week in a row, but he's far from a player you want on your rosters. It's Mixon or bust from here on out.

Cleveland Browns - Snaps Don't Always Equal Production

Quarterback: Baker Mayfield (100%)

Running Backs: Nick Chubb (63%), Duke Johnson (35%)

Wide Receivers: Jarvis Landry (81%), Antonio Callaway (73%), Rashard Higgins (50%), Breshad Perriman (37%)

Tight Ends: David Njoku (83%), Darren Fells (44%), Seth DeValve (13%), Orson Charles (10%)

While opportunity generally means more fantasy potential, that was by no means the case with rookie Antonio Callaway this week. After seeing five or more targets in four of his past five games, Callaway was targeted just once, catching it for zero yards. He'll look to rebound against the Denver Broncos this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers - Samuels or Conner?

Quarterback: Ben Roethlisberger (68%), Joshua Dobbs (32%)

Running Backs: Jaylen Samuels (80%), Stevan Ridley (13%)

Wide Receivers: Antonio Brown (98%), JuJu Smith-Schuster (87%), Ryan Switzer (47%), James Washington (37%)

Tight Ends: Vance McDonald (63%), Jesse James (52%), Xavier Grimble (10%)

Despite averaging just 2.55 yards per carry against the Oakland Raiders, it will almost certainly be Jaylen Samuels who once again benefits if James Conner is forced to miss more time. The run-deficient Samuels was on the field for 80% of the Steelers' snaps, and showed efficiency in the passing game, catching 7 passes for 64 yards. It's almost certainly too late to pick him up now, but if you have him and Conner is out, ride him to the championship.
