Arizona Cardinals
Marvin Harrison Jr. leads the NFL in targets of 15+ air yards (13)
MHJ is second in the NFL in total air yards (373) and 10th in target share (46 percent). The rookie has also seen five end zone targets, the second-most among all receivers. A sleepy Week 1 aside, Harrison Jr. has been as dominant as fantasy managers hoped for when they took him in the second round of drafts.
Atlanta Falcons
Kyle Pitts has run a route on 79 percent of Kirk Cousins’ dropbacks over the past two weeks
That would still be good for top-10 among all tight ends this year, but it’s down from his Week 1 rate of 100 percent. This wouldn’t be so concerning if the Falcons weren’t running Ray-Ray McCloud on every passing play. You can carve out an every-down role for a career return man but can’t put the former No. 8 overall pick in the field as often?
Pitts’ rate of snaps lined up out wide, in turn, has also fallen since Week 1. He is averaging .14 targets per route run. That is well behind all three of Atlanta’s starting receivers. Much like the coach before him, Raheem Morris doesn’t seem to have a concrete plan for Pitts.
Baltimore Ravens
Mark Andrews ran four routes
This is what head coach John Harbaugh had to say on the matter after the game:

Harbaugh said Andrews’ lack of reps was based on the style of football they were playing versus Dallas. Andrews hasn’t been subbed off this frequently regardless of game script or opponent since his rookie season. The Ravens are no longer treating Andrews like an elite tight end, and neither should we.
