Sixteen games of data, and most of your league is still reacting to box scores. Matthew Freedman, Dwain McFarland and Alex Cupps go through the Week 1 utilization report — snaps, routes, rush share, target share — and turn it into the specific moves to make this week, on waivers and in the trade market. They open on Ashton Jeanty's climb to high-end RB1 status and what that does to Mike Washington's value, then work through the backfields that got murkier rather than clearer: Houston still split, Travis Etienne at just 43% of rush attempts in New Orleans, and Tampa Bay. Then Green Bay, where Christian Watson and Matthew Golden are both rising and Jayden Reed might already be droppable, and Jacksonville, where Parker Washington boomed on a route share that needs to grow — plus whether Travis Hunter is worth holding. At tight end it's a buy-low conversation: whether Dalton Kincaid is headed for career highs, how aggressively to trade for Isaiah Likely, and where the market is on both. Then the gap between production and usage in both directions — Colston Loveland and Rhamondre Stevenson underperforming their utilization scores, and D'Andre Swift overperforming his, with the obvious follow-up question of what you could get for him right now. The back half is the full waiver roundup. Kaelon Black, Kendre Miller and Sione Vaki at running back. Jalen Coker, Antonio Williams, the Dolphins pair of Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington, DeVaughn Vele, plus two head-to-heads in KC Concepcion against Denzel Boston and Ja'Kobi Lane against Elijah Sarratt. And Mike Gesicki, Kenyon Sadiq and Pat Freiermuth at tight end. Dwain's Utilization Report and Cupps' free and premium waiver pieces are both live on the site.
