How this page is counted

A player is listed when he has at least 3 games this season, played in Week 9 with at least 3 carries or targets, and his share in that game was above his season share; at most 15 a position. The shares are the same numbers as each player's Usage card: his carries or targets over his team's rush or pass attempts in the games he played, from nflverse's player stats and our count of its play-by-play. 'Teammate Out (official) last game' names a teammate at the same position his team's official Week 9 injury report listed Out, and nothing else. The status beside a name is his official status on his player page.
