Last week we gave you the most comprehensive snap count break down to date in honor of week one of the fantasy playoffs.  We ranked each team in order of how consistent and dependable their snap counts have been from week to week to help you decide which players you can rely on for your respective tournament.  Now, as Week 15 approaches, we are cutting right to the chase.  There is no more time left for stashing guys, for upside guys, for handcuffs.  The focus needs to be on this week since it’s do or die time.  We are going to look at the snap counts from Week 14 like we always do and just give it to you straight – which guys you can count on from each team and which guys are at risk of riding the pine during your most important moment.

Please keep in mind that this article is about snap share and the likelihood any given player will play a high percentage of his team’s snaps.  Typically, the more snaps the merrier but a high snap share doesn’t always guarantee production and vice versa.  We’ll do our best to provide additional info where we see fit. 

For the purpose of this article, “locked in” players have routinely played a high snap share week after week and that trend is likely to continue.  “Risky” means that there are some trends or fluctuations in their snap share that means there is a chance that they may play a limited number of snaps which is generally bad for fantasy football.  Anyone not included in either category simply does not have enough snaps to be dependable for fantasy football in most formats.  The order the players appear should serve as bit of a ranking or pecking order in terms of how reliable their snaps are from week to week.

  • Locked In: Odell Beckham Jr, Jarvis Landry
  • Risky: Nick Chubb , Kareem Hunt (a lot of fantasy gamers might not want to admit it but, with Hunt around, there is a clearly more of a time share.  Chubb is still a recommended start and Hunt is a flex play but it’s no longer Chubb’s backfield alone and his usage in the passing game is clearly down).  David Njoku (working his way back from injury, too risky on a snap limit.)
