You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
I pulled the data from various sites and started running my usual numbers.
Usage Numbers & Yards-Per
This is basically a calculation of pass attempts + rush attempts + targets and then this total is divided by the total number of plays a team runs. Then I divide this by each players' games (or Usage Per Game; UPG).
Some surprises were Bobby Rainey leading the list. He was used on 30% of TB's plays in the games he played. More than any other RB. Another surprise was Doug Martin was 2nd, 27%. Too bad Tampa's coaching is about to change. Another surprise was Andre Brown who ranked 5th, 22%.
Backs always score the highest.
Gronk was the highest TE. Graham was 2nd. Third was Cameron.
Wideouts. Blackmon had the highest usage with 13%. He also had the 3rd-highest yards per game (YPG). What a shame. Julio Jones had the 2nd-highest UPG and YPG. Josh Gordon blew everyone away with the highest YPG. But he too will now undergo a coaching change.
One surprise was Cecil Shorts. He had very respectable usage numbers (10%) but had less yardage than other WR in the 10% range. Another was Vincent Jackson who had 11% usage, but had about 200 less yards than other 11% WR.
Still factoring other....
