That came to 3-4 targets a game, a 71 percent catch rate and 11.9 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 41 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head
This season Ryan Flournoy holds the bigger snap share, 74 percent against 59 percent.
This season Ryan Flournoy holds the bigger target share, 15 percent against 12 percent.
Byes and availability
Ryan Flournoy is off in Week 14 and Ted Hurst III in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
0.6 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.
The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
