Add Christian Watson: The Packers rookie was Green Bay’s top target and led the way with a three-touchdown performance.
- Watson was the clear No. 2 receiver in terms of playing time. Part of this was by default, with Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb out, but it’s notable how much more he was involved than Sammy Watkins.
- The Packers have wanted to get Watson more involved for a few weeks now, but he’s constantly been dealing with injuries.
- Watson’s 25% target rate this season is behind only Chris Olave and Drake London among rookies.
- His target share mixed with increased playing time could make him a fantasy starter over the second half of the season.
Start Dalton Schultz: The Cowboys tight end continues to play more and more after returning from injury.
- He caught six passes for 54 yards and a touchdown.
- This was the Cowboys' most difficult matchup remaining for their tight ends. The schedule is one of the best for tight ends for the rest of the season.
Tony Pollard dominates snaps: Pollard was used as a true workhorse back in Dallas for the first time in his career.
- This happened with Ezekiel Elliott out of the lineup for a second straight week with a knee injury.
- There were reports Pollard would never see this kind of role because he would lose efficiency.
- He ran the ball 22 times and averaged over 5.0 yards per carry.
- His yards per carry average was at least 3.9 in every quarter. He hit 4.8 in the fourth quarter and 7.0 in overtime.
- This probably won’t mean much for 2022 once Elliott is healthy again, but it could be big for wherever Pollard lands in free agency in 2023.
Table Notes
• Snaps include plays called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. The other three stats have these plays removed.
• Targets may differ from official NFL sources. The most likely discrepancy would be from a clear thrown-away pass, where the NFL may give the target to the nearest receiver, while this data will not.
• Carries are only on designed plays. Quarterback scrambles won’t count for the total number of carries in the game.
