Arizona Cardinals
James Conner (Week 2: 37 snaps, 22 opportunities, 8 routes, 1 target)
Trey Benson (Week 2: 22 snaps, 12 opportunities, 5 routes, 1 target)
Emari Demercado (Week 2: 7 snaps, 2 opportunities, 3 routes, 0 targets)
Notes: Unsurprisingly, James Conner continues to dominate the majority of the touches in Arizona’s backfield. His 21-122-1 performance in Sunday’s win over the Rams will only further stave off rookie Trey Benson, who did out-snap Emari Demercado in Week 2 after Demercado saw 13 snaps to Benson’s eight in Week 1. Benson wasn’t impressive with his 12 opportunities and rushed 11 times for 10 yards. Still, it wouldn’t be surprising to see his snaps increase in the coming weeks, even if he continues to play well behind Conner.
Atlanta Falcons
Bijan Robinson (Week 2: 43 snaps, 19 opportunities, 23 routes, 5 targets)
Tyler Allgeier (Week 2 13 snaps, 10 opportunities, 4 routes, 1 target)
Notes: Tyler Allgeier saw more opportunities (10) in Week 2 than he did in Week 1 (3) and rushed for a solid 53 yards on nine carries. It was an encouraging outing for Allgeier, but much like Benson’s situation in Arizona, the Allgeier is little more than a bench stash as long as Bijan Robinson remains healthy. In Monday night’s win over the Eagles, Robinson totaled 122 yards from scrimmage on 19 opportunities and is averaging 5.7 yards per touch through the first two weeks of the season. Robinson’s 51 percent opportunity share leads all running backs through the first two weeks of the season, as his highly-touted bell cow role appears to be a very real thing under the new regime.
Baltimore Ravens
Derrick Henry (Week 2: 29 snaps, 19 opportunities, 7 routes, 1 target)
Justin Hill (Week 2: 34 snaps, 6 opportunities, 15 routes, 2 targets)
Notes: After drawing seven targets in Week 1’s loss to the Chiefs, Justice Hill crashed back to earth in Week 2. Hill totaled just 5.2 fantasy points in Sunday’s loss to…
