STACKED’s take
JSN's 45.8% target share and 92% snap rate signal elite Week 1 usage and efficiency.
JSN handled a 92% snap share and 96% route share in Week 1, with a 42.3% target rate on routes; his 45.8% target share and 49.4% air yards share were elite, and his 35.8% target share beat the highest WR season mark since 2015 (previously 35.8%, one of just 18 over 30% in that span). Last year his snap/route shares were typically in the 80s, so the rise to the 90s represents a significant increase in volume; per-route production remained strong despite the higher snap/route load. In 11 personnel he played 100% of snaps; in heavier packages (12/21/22) he took 83% of snaps. Fatigue wasn't an issue given Seattle's inability to sustain drives (48 total plays vs. 59.7 average).
