Modern NFL offenses still run enough plays for elite players to generate massive weekly fantasy football production. But as offensive play volume continues to trend downward league-wide, it has become increasingly difficult for secondary fantasy options — WR3s, RB2s and flex starters — to consistently provide reliable value.
That makes identifying teams capable of creating extra volume even more important.
The article below examines league-wide offensive plays per game and no-huddle rates over the past three seasons, highlighting both the trends and the outliers. Teams that consistently push pace and generate additional snaps create more opportunities for fantasy production, offering managers an edge when searching for undervalued contributors beyond the obvious stars. Additional volume-related trends will be explored in future installments.
