The average sits above the median, so a few big games are pulling it up. The median is closer to a typical night.

Type the line your bookmaker is offering to see how often he has cleared it. GRIDLINE holds game lines but not player props, so this one comes from you.

Context

2021

His role

Share of his team's snaps
-5points of snap shareHe was playing less by the end of the season.

64% of his team's offensive snaps across his first 12 games of 2021, 59% across the last 3 — and 3.5 touches or attempts a game against 2.0, down 1.5.

Snap share is the coaching staff's own weekly statement about his job, and it moves before the points do. It cannot say why — injury, benching and game script all look identical here.

Below 1 was a hard schedule, above 1 an easy one, and it differs by stat. Rated on 15 of 15 regular-season games in 2021; the rest are left unadjusted rather than dropped. Playoff games are not included, because what a defence allows is measured over the league season.
