The 2025 tendency sample comes from the same head coach and offensive coordinator. It provides context for continuity, while the staff’s 2026 adjustments and current injuries can change the weekly plan.

The approach behind the offense

Reported concepts and coaching priorities
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Use the middle against outside attention

Adams describes Williams as a way to attack the middle when Lamb and Pickens draw attention outside, while also valuing his pass protection. This explains a complementary offensive role without assigning an invented play frequency.

Source & context ↗
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Turn drives into touchdowns

The September 10 team mailbag identifies red-zone finishing as a central area for improvement. This is team editorial analysis, not a forecast that every scoring opportunity improves.

Source & context ↗
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Adjust the plan in year two

Adams says the staff must evolve after opponents acquired a full season of film. Bass’s temporary promotion and Davis’s injury add immediate personnel changes to that continuing work.

Source & context ↗

Fantasy connection: Use the completed Week 2 workload alongside the next injury report before making a new lineup decision.

Sample: 1,097 classified 2025 regular-season plays, all game states. Dropbacks (62.1%) include sacks and scrambles; designed runs exclude scrambles. Kneels, spikes, two-point tries, aborted snaps and nullified plays are excluded. NFL comparisons use the same filters. These are historical rates, not a 2026 play forecast. Concepts are sourced descriptions, not measured frequency shares. Sources & definitions ↗

Reading the numbers: The 2025 column retains its historical regular-season sample. Week 2 actuals describe the completed 2026 game. No Week 3 forecast is supplied.

Target share: player targets / all recorded team targets. Carry share: player rush attempts / team rush attempts (including QB runs/kneels). Red-zone and goal-line share: player targets + rush attempts inside the opponent 20 / 5 divided by the corresponding team total. Null means unverified, not zero. Preliminary statistics may be corrected.

Week 2 snap counts are available for all 32 teams. Route participation and targets per route remain unverified. Unavailable is not zero.
