For those clocking at home, Knox decimated
-Veggie platter
-Cold cuts platter (Messmer loves the Salami)
-Sandwiches cut in triangles
-Massive bowl of salad with tongs
-Bowl of chips
-Roughly 200 paper plates
-3 diff stacks of cups (20 each)
-6 different cups full of cutlery
Work % - % of team’s TOTAL rush attempts + targets on the week
-Context: 30+ % is an ELITE mark for an RB.
-Allen is at 43% over the last 3 weeks.
-That would be higher than any 3-game stretch for Hall since beginning of 2024.

The qualifying WRs with the biggest year-to-year In/Dig route rate change (from 2025 to 2026)
A lot of early breakout candidates... and Ladd.
Why would decreasing that route matter?
It is one of the least valuable route in terms of per-route efficiency
