Welcome to FantasyPros’ weekly pace and efficiency report. Each week of the season we’ll survey trends in snap count totals while examining pace and efficiency data. Opportunity is king in fantasy football, and teams that run more plays have more opportunities to score fantasy points. Snap counts are the product of pace and efficiency, so examining each factor provides insight into future game environments, changes in coaching philosophy, and offensive growth or decline throughout the season.
Teams projected for high Week 13 snap counts
Los Angeles Chargers
Though they don’t look like the most polished team in the league, the Chargers do continue to dominate in pace stats. Their efficiency leaves much to be desired (38.1 CER), but they will likely see an increase in efficiency this week due to a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas currently ranks dead last in DVOA and 29th in EPA/play allowed. This is a truly terrible defense that even the Chargers’ mediocre offense should be able to exploit.
