Takeaways:

Singletary rebounded to a 60% snap rate after sinking to 44% and 49% the previous 2 weeks. He handled 13 of 18 RB carries (72%) and saw 4 targets (10%). Will that level of usage continue in Week 16? I honestly have no idea.
Knox has posted 88%, 89% and 78% route rates the past 3 weeks and garnered 15 targets over the last 2. Don’t bank on that level of volume every week, but he’s certainly a viable low-end TE1 as long as this playing time holds.

Takeaways:

Carolina ran just 46 offensive plays in this one.
In trailing game script, we saw Hubbard lead this backfield in playing time. He finished with 4 carries and 3 targets to Foreman’s 10 carries and 0 targets. Try to avoid this backfield going forward.

- Week 15 - 26%
