​In fantasy football, you have to look back to move forward. Fantasy points are the goal, but how a player gets there is the key. Analyst Joel Smyth breaks down 8 numbers to know from Week 9 in order to win your matchup in Week 10 and beyond.31%Targets per route for Jordyn Tyson. The long-awaited debut for the top-10 pick didn’t come with a staggering box score, but it did offer some hope. The rookie was on a very limited snap count, only running 16 routes, yet was targeted five times, the second-most on the team to Chris Olave. Devaughn Vele, the Saints WR2 to begin the season, was only targeted on four of 44 routes. ​After starting the day with a fumble, Tyson turned it around with three receptions in the fourth quarter as New Orleans came back to tie the game and send it into overtime. Although he was limited, when Tyson was used, it was in a role that can be beneficial going forward. In an offense that provides plenty of completions with Tyler Shough ranking third-highest among QBs, Tyson was used in the slot and on the move, very similar to Vele, who averaged 12.3 PPG going into the week. Olave will be the No. 1, but Tyson can still get enough volume to show off why he was a top-10 NFL Draft selection.Jordyn Tyson coulda had one pic.twitter.com/7g7rjYQAv3— wok (@wokdior) November 8, 202680.8%Of the RB touches went to Jonah Coleman, the second-highest by a Broncos RB since Sean Payton took over in 2023. Payton historically has a committee at RB, whether it’s a trio in Denver or Alvin Kamara with Mark Ingram back in New Orleans. They produce without being the workhorse. So when a RB does have the clear majority in a Payton-led backfield, it leads to a major fantasy impact. When a rookie is doing it, it’s even more impressive. Coleman has been getting everything in Denver since the second quarter of Week 8: the receiving, red-zone work and carries overall. RJ Harvey experienced the same success last season after the J.K. Dobbins injury, posting RB1 numbers in the most important time of the year as the lead back, including a game over 80.8%. Harvey will be back eventually, but Coleman looks to be the clear No. 1 going forward either way, and should be the main red-zone back, even if work is more distributed in the future. For now, Coleman is a short-term RB1 in fantasy with the potential of it sticking based on how much Harvey is involved upon return.64.3%Of the NYJ RB touches went to Breece Hall in his return; however, that is his lowest mark this season. It’s a lose-lose in New York. Braelon Allen managers going from 17 PPG scored in half-PPR leagues to a fringe flex at best, while Hall managers no longer have a bellcow. It’s only the first game back, but it’s an especially bad sign for Hall that Allen had 2x as many routes on Sunday, as Hall’s receiving has been a major reason for his past fantasy ceiling. A fumble didn’t help Allen’s case this week, but it didn’t seem to affect his playing time the rest of the game. If H
