great stuff as always

I got 4/6. Didn’t get the 1st one and Gore/AP/DJohnson question.Welp, I was bored today so I decided to download all of the RED ZONE touches. Lots to digest.
Disclaimer, I am including targets in with the touches as a basis to see who is used more by a team.
What player had the most RZ touch percentage in relation to his team's time in the red zone?
Josh Jacobs had 67 RZ touches which is 41% of the Raiders' RZ plays.
Who was used more in the RZ, Cam Akers or Darrell Henderson?
Henderson edged out Akers with 35 touches (24%) compared to Akers' 33 (22%).
Same question for the Browns. Chubb or Hunt?
Chubb did miss 4 games. Hunt had 48 touches (31%) to Chubb's 37 (24%). If this was calculated on a "per game" basis, Chubb less than 1% over Hunt, or 3.08% vs 3%.
Frank Gore, Adrian Peterson and David Johnson - who was used more by their team in the RZ percentage wise?
Gore was used 28%, Peterson 25% and DJohn 24%.
Which Tampa "receiver" had the most RZ looks?
Mike Evans with 13%
Gronk next 10%
Godwin 6%
Antonio Brown 4%
Last one. Excluding Alvin Kamara, who was next on the Saints for RZ touches?
Both Latavius Murray and Tayson Hill each was used 16%. In fact, Kamara, Murray and Hill accounted for 64% of the team's RZ touches.
For me its a "value" thing.I got 4/6. Didn’t get the 1st one and Gore/AP/DJohnson question.
Good stuff man. I have Hunt in two leagues so far this season (I do realize Chubb missed games but watching Browns games, Hunt gets used in the RZ a lot).
Jacobs' numbers were crazy. I mean, think about that, a team gets in the red zone, and he gets close to 70% of the looks.Joe, you continue to amaze. Great stuff. I don't think I got any of em..not even Jacobs.
But, that is the reason I'm not concerned in the least about Drake joining the backfield. Money time is Jacobs' time, period
there in lies an interesting sub plot..Jacobs' numbers were crazy. I mean, think about that, a team gets in the red zone, and he gets close to 70% of the looks.
And actually, Drake's numbers weren't too shabby for the Cards either. Want to say he flirted with 50% of the RZ touches himself.
Your post made me want to try another calculation.there in lies an interesting sub plot..
In Arizona, red zone touches with the threat of the RPO and Murray vs red zone touches with a statue-esque Carr where you know its going to be either Jacob's or a pass..most likely to a TE. Considering they're both playing without the threat of the RPO now, does what Drake did in ARZ really matter much? Does it translate at all? It's definitely not the system he had success in.
