Trivia Time

[SteelersPride]

Interesting you say that because thats a reason i chose these particular questions.
For example, the WR who are targeted over 140 times, why didnt they get 1000 yards? QB play. Probably. Will next year be better for them? Might be split.
The WR who gained 1000 yards on the fewest catches... Is that good for him, bad for him? Is he more likely to get more?
Just trying to guage the future.

Lol yep. But also rookies in instances, theres alot more to unpack with young ayers imho. The stats sometimes only tell part of the story. Like, well, chase claypoools rookie year. He wasnt that good at all

Well I did pretty good. I got #1 and #3 for the wide receivers and I got #1 for the running backs and I got 1 or the 2 on top offenses question (SF). Surprised that Dallas was #1 a top ten offense and #2 that Dak didn't have 4000 yards, but I forgot he was hurt for a few early weeks.

last year, only 3 RBs that had over 215 carries failed to reach 1,000 rushing yards, name those RBs

Pierce
Zeke
Kamara

In 2022, the NFL average for offensive plays called was 62.7 per game.
The most was Tampa with an average of 68.1 plays per game.
The worst was Carolina with 57.4

As fantasy owners, we envision certain players getting 20-30 touches per game.
As you can probably already see by the numbers, in today's pass-happy NFL, that's pretty rare.

So now that I set the stage, how many (non-QB) players do you think touched the ball 20 or more times per game last year?

Spoiler: 20 touches+

Only 4
24 Derrick Henry
23.1 Josh Jacobs
22 Saquon Barkley
20 Jonathan Taylor

Honorable mention goes to Pierce, Mixon, Chubb and CMC for 19+

While we're on the subject of touches...
Based on 2022 numbers, looks like the top receivers touched the ball 7 times or more.
In fact, 9 receivers averaged 7 touches or more in 2022.

Who was the only TE to make this list?

Spoiler

Taysom Hill with 7.8 touches

Who led all WR in this group with 9.4 touches per game?

Spoiler

Cooper Kupp

Think this one needs some higher minimum thresholds.. the answers, are a little suspect

I figured someone would have an issue with average touches rather than targets.

Ha, well kupp only played 9 games, so he's sneaky, and Hill..100 rushes and 9 catches, it ain't the average targets v touches, it's that the dude isn't wasn't a TE.. No idea why he's still eligible

 

[averagejoe]

Technically, he's listed as a TE. Aint my fault they use him as a gadget guy all over the offense.

Since the NFL merger, which team has gone to their conference championship the most?

SF = 18 times
PIT = 16 times
NE = 15 times

 

[Shanemansj13]

Those were the teams I was thinking of and one other. My guess was the team in 2nd.

I was thinking it was #2 too.

 

[obxyankeefan]

[tlance]
