Banking on hyper-efficiency is almost always a thin bet.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes you find an undervalued player in the middle of final rounds of your various fantasy drafts who turns limited opportunity into a an embarrassment of statistical riches (almost) every Sunday. That's nice. It'll make you feel like a god dang genius too. It's also, to reiterate, not a great bet.
This is a long and overwrought way of saying a team's offensive snap volume matters. Sometimes, if that play volume is extremely high or extremely low, it matters a lot, probably more than you would like because maybe you see fantasy football as a game based entirely on identifying talent. That's part of it. But ours is a game within a game; offensive environment — including the numbers of snaps and drop backs and rushes a team has every week — drives the opportunity that makes or breaks a player's season. My longtime friend and excellent fantasy ******* yst Patrick Thorman has been singing this song since the zoomers were in diapers. You'll read Pat's stuff if you know what's good for you.

Below is a quick look at every teams' 2025 offensive snaps totals. The league leaders benefited from what amounts to an extra two games worth of offensive plays compared to the bottom dwellers. That sort of thing matters quite a bit in fantasy football.
