TL;DR Season-Long Week 16

• In his first game without Urban Meyer, James Robinson logged an 84% snap share, a 15.7% target share, an 88% share of running back opportunities and ran a route on 66.6% of dropbacks. (Full Article)
• DK Metcalf’s catchable target rate sits at just 77%, outside the top-40 receivers, suggesting Russell Wilson has been fairly inaccurate when targeting Metcalf.

TL;DR DFS Week 16
