Opportunity is king when it comes to fantasy football production.  Therefore, it is important to be aware of each player’s opportunity share.

But I understand that not every fantasy gamer has the time or resources to stay on top of the recent trends.  So, I am doing the research for you.

As a weekly series here at Create-A-Rank, I look at every box score, track target share, snap share, and air yards. I compile all of the trends that I find useful or interesting here in order to help you make better lineup and roster decisions.  Pair this with our weekly rankings, WRs vs CBs Matchups chart, and other articles to give your teams an edge over the competition. Without further ado, here is everything I took away from an exciting Week 13 of snaps, targets, air yards, and trends.
