Snap Count Observations: Transactions to Make for Week 15 (Fantasy Football)
Buffalo Bills
Dalton Kincaid 34%
Dalton Kincaid returned in Week 14 after dealing with a hamstring since Week 10. Like many players returning from a hamstring injury, the Bills brought Kincaid back slowly. His 34% snap share is low, but not terribly low for his season-average. Kincaid has been banged up all year, including a knee injury since training camp, so the Bills have not used him like a full-time player in 2025.
That said, he remains extremely efficient. Despite only running 18 routes in Week 14, he saw five targets and was second on the team in receiving yards, trailing only Dawson Knox, whose role has increased significantly since Kincaid’s Week 10 injury.
The fact remains that Buffalo lacks any real threats at the WR position. Keon Coleman continues to be mediocre after his two-week stint in the doghouse. Brandin Cooks has not provided much of anything since being signed, and Khalil Shakir is nothing more than a gadget player at this point. Even so, the Buffalo offense remains threatening simply because Josh Allen wills it. There is a big opportunity here, and Kincaid is probably the best pure pass catcher on the Bills. If his health continues to improve and he sees more playing time, he could see a big uptick in fantasy output.
Conclusion: Dalton Kincaid looks like he could have a big impact during the fantasy playoffs.
Cleveland Browns
Shedeur Sanders 97%
I don’t talk about QBs much on here because the playing time does not vary at this position (outside of injuries and well-publicized benchings). I am bringing up Sanders here because he threw for over 360 yards in a game. That is quite notable, even if the performance was against Tennessee’s hopeless season. As a result, the Browns’ offense at least has a pulse. Sanders is a little bit of what Jameis Winston provided to the Browns pass catchers in 2024: just enough to be relevant.
The main beneficiaries are Jerry Jeudy and Harold Fannin. Fannin has been pretty darn good all year, but he was great in this game (11/8/114/1). Jeudy saw five targets for 76 yards and a TD as well.
Shedeur has not been spectacular, but it’s enough to move the ball down the field a little bit. That renders some of the better Browns pass catchers interesting.
Conclusion: Fannin should be rostered everywhere, and Jeudy is someone you can consider in good matchups, so long as Sanders remains the starting QB.
Green Bay Packers
Jayden Reed 47%
Reed returned to the field for the first time since Week 2, and he played his highest snap percentage of the year. Reed has never been a full-time receiver, and probably never will be in Green Bay. The Packers love Romeo Doubs for blocking and other intangibles, and Christian Watson is on a heater right now. Reed will be pretty much be this for the Packers: a guy who plays about 50% of the snaps, even in tight matchups, and he will see opportunities in the run and pass game.
His stats were not mind blowing: 2 rushes for 22 yards, and 4 receptions (on 4 targets) for 31 yards. But still, it was his first game back in almost three months.
Injuries have been a constant problem throughout Reed’s career, and they might render him slightly less dynamic than when he was younger. He didn’t look particularly fast in the game. Older, lesser players (C.J. Gardner Johnson) were having no trouble keeping up with him on routes. I don’t love the opportunity or what I saw, but Reed isn’t competing for targets with Tucker Kraft any longer. He might look better with some acclimation time.
Conclusion: Reed is worth rostering, but I wouldn’t trust him in the fantasy playoffs
Miami Dolphins
De’von Achane 34; Jaylen Wright 52%; Ollie Gordon 25%
In a game absolutely dominated by Miami, De’von Achane got banged up. It was reported as a rib injury without any fractures. Supposedly, he could have returned to the game if needed, but the Dolphins clearly didn’t need him. It’s too bad because he was well on his way to a monster game.
Jaylen Wright, not Ollie Gordon, saw the vast majority of the work uncompleted by Achane. Wright was outstanding (24 carries, 107 yards, one TD). Wright saw a carry or a target on 27 of his 34 snaps (79%), which is mindboggling.
Your team almost assuredly found the playoffs with Achane on it, so the precautionary measure is great news. Wright may have played himself into a bit more playing time and opportunities, but probably not much. Achane has been too good and too dynamic for anything to majorly change now. Moreover, the Jets will to fight was completely destroyed by Achane’s early dominance and Tyrod Taylor‘s early injury. This very much looked like a team ready to move on to Week 15 as fast as possible. So, Wright’s fantastic game gets some obvious caveats and likely changes little in Miami.
Conclusion: No concerns with Achane in the fantasy playoffs. Grab Wright if you have room for handcuffs.
Las Vegas Raiders
Jack Bech 82%
After an entire year of forcing their second-round rookie to sit on the bench, the Raiders are finally letting Jack Bech show them what he can do. To me, Jack Bech looked like a pretty good prospect coming out of TCU, but Pete Carroll has barely used Bech in his rookie year. For most of the year, Bech has hovered between 20% and 40% of the snaps. He finally saw a little spike in Week 13 (56%) after a few injuries to the WR position and the trade of Jakobi Meyers. In Week 14, he was second on the team in snaps, training only Tre Tucker, who gets a great cardio workout but rarely produces fantasy value.
When finally given an opportunity, Bech is delivering a little juice. He caught all six targets for 50 yards against the Broncos’ strong defense. Four of those targets came from Kenny Pickett after Geno Smith was hurt, so that is encouraging that he saw production even with the backup QB.
The Raiders offense isn’t very good, but Bech is an interesting player. That should at least put him on your radar.
Conclusion: Pick up Bech in very deep leagues. Dynasty teams are seeing that he is worth holding onto.
