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 1 snap counts

Los Angeles Chargers

It’s great to be getting the Chargers and their fantasy players back this week. Los Angeles leads the league in seconds/snap and is tied for second in snaps/60 minutes. Their CER (38.4) is not ideal, but many of their skill players are still scoring plenty of fantasy points. Their efficiency should increase this week as they go up against the Atlanta Falcons, who have the 31st-ranked defense in EPA/play allowed. The Chargers should see a positive game script and run plenty of plays on Sunday.
