OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Wide-zone foundation

September 10 team reporting describes coordinated lateral movement by the line, tight ends and fullback. That sourced emphasis does not establish a measured 2026 zone frequency.

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.
