THE OFFENSIVE IDENTITY
A stronger backfield. A second year in the system.
HOU 6, CIN 20 — final. Collins was inactive. Houston’s receiving totals reflect this game’s replacement opportunities, not a forecast of Collins’ absence continuing. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.
Ryans and Caley remain in place for 2026. The 2025 rates below describe the first year of Caley’s offense; they do not guarantee this year’s workload split after the backfield and line changes.

The approach behind the offense
Reported concepts and coaching prioritiesTwo backs with useful roles
September team analysis frames Montgomery as a between-the-tackles complement who can help Marks contribute as a receiver and finisher. That is role context, not a measured touch split.
Source & context ↗More comfort in the operation
In July, Mills described a second year spent refining Caley’s offense around Stroud and player feedback, instead of installing the system from scratch.
Source & context ↗Developing options behind the leaders
September preseason review highlighted Klein’s seam catches and Wayne’s contested receptions. Both remain behind established starters in the official depth order.
Source & context ↗Fantasy connection: Collins was inactive. Houston’s receiving totals reflect this game’s replacement opportunities, not a forecast of Collins’ absence continuing.
Sample: 1,069 classified 2025 regular-season plays, all game states. Dropbacks (60.1%) 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.

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.
