Arizona Cardinals
Zach Ertz leads all tight ends with a 31 percent target share.
Ertz also ranks second in targets per route run (.33) and air yards share (28 percent). Despite having no touchdowns on his ledger, Ertz is currently the TE7 in PPR scoring. The PPR scam is in full effect and it’s not slowing anytime soon.
Atlanta Falcons
Bijan Robinson is on pace for 247 carries at 6.2 yards per carry.
For reference, there have been seven running backs in NFL history to average more than six yards per carry on at least 200 attempts. Robinson is also crushing it as a pass-catcher.

The ship was righted in Week 2 with the Ravens dropping 27 points at .225 EPA per play on a better Cincinnati defense. Jackson’s 112.8 Quarterback Rating was his highest mark since Week 2 of the 2022 season.
Buffalo Bills
Damien Harris, Latavius Murray, and Josh Allen all have more red zone carries than James Cook.
Harris and Murray each have four red zone carries plus two attempts inside the five-yard line. Cook has two red zone carries and no looks inside the five despite looking like the most explosive back on the roster. He ranks seventh in missed tackles forced and yards after contact per carry according to PFF. However, his big gains aren’t enough to offset his lack of usage where it counts most. The missing goal line touches will keep him out of my top-20 RB rankings heading into Week 3.
Carolina Panthers
Adam Thielen earned a 30 percent target share.
It took two weeks in…
