Role · New York Giants Isaiah LikelyTE
+60receiving yards a game

Over his last 4 games his workload has been worth 83 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. Over his last 4 games it has been worth 83 a game, up from 23 in the 12 games before. That's more than his usual week-to-week ups and downs. In past seasons, about half of a change in role has shown up in the next game. How we count
