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 15 snap counts 

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles might have the nut matchup of the week. Armed with top 3 pace and efficiency metrics, they will travel to Chicago to take on what might be the worst defense in the league. Shipping off Robert Quinn to Philly and Roquan Smith to Baltimore has been costly for the Bears’ defense, a unit that now ranks 32nd in both Defensive DVOA and EPA/play allowed. What makes this matchup great is that even in losses, Justin Fields has consistently kept games close, putting pressure on the opponent to keep their foot on the gas. I expect this game to be a shootout and it might be the game stack you need to have to ship DFS contests this Sunday.
