Role · New York Giants Isaiah LikelyTE
+43receiving yards a game

Over his last 4 games his workload has been worth 66 receiving yards a game, against 23 in his 12 games before.

Role Whether his workload is growing or shrinking, counted in the receiving yards it usually produces. His workload is his targets, how far downfield they were and those inside the 20.

In past seasons, about half of a change in role has shown up in the next game. How we count
