I just noticed these from the twitter feed over on the right ->
Surprised to see how predictable a couple of teams were. San Diego apparently had zero quality depth at WR after Keenan Allen went on IR in week one. Giants just threw in the towel on their running game.
Patriots were right in the middle of the pack in terms of how often they ran or passed out of 3-WR set (in other words, one of the least predictable.
This graphic shows how often teams utilized a 3-WR formation. Pats were below average; I would assume that reflects their higher productivity from the TE position than most other teams.
And this spreadsheet shows each team's use of shotgun versus under center, and then run versus pass for each. Patriots rank near the middle in terms of percentage of times they pass (or run) under center as well as % of times they pass (or run) from the shotgun.
Note: stats are for when ball was snapped, not where QB initially lined up. Pistol formation included in shotgun numbers.
