NFL snap counts by team and position, 2026

A snap count is the number of plays a player was on the field for. This page has the count and the share for every NFL player through Week 9 of the 2026 season: the leaders at each position, every team, and who is playing more or less than three weeks ago. Updated November 12, 2026.

Snap share by position

A team's lead running back plays 63% of the snaps; its lead wide receiver 79%; its lead tight end 67%

Each dot is one team's most-used player at that position, placed by his share of the team's snaps this season. The rule is the league median. A share is the player's snaps divided by all the plays his offense or defense has run, so a missed game lowers it. Only players on a team's roster today are counted: a team that has changed its starter shows a low figure.

Players who have not left the field

71 players have been on the field for at least 98% of their unit's snaps in every game their team has played. Most are offensive linemen, quarterbacks and safeties.

What is a snap count?

A snap count is the number of plays a player took part in. Every play starts with the snap of the ball, so a player with 60 snaps in a game was on the field for 60 plays. Offense and defense are counted apart, special teams too, and the counts come from the official play-by-play of each game.

What is snap share?

Snap share is a player's snap count divided by the number of plays his unit ran. A running back with 40 snaps in a game where his offense ran 64 plays has a snap share of 63%. Share is the fairer way to compare players, because teams do not run the same number of plays: this season the busiest offense has run 660 plays and the least busy 476.

What is a good snap share?

It depends on the position. Counting the most-used player on each team this season, the median is 63% for a running back, 79% for a wide receiver and 67% for a tight end. Quarterbacks and offensive linemen who stay healthy are close to 100%. A running back above 63% is being used more than half the league's lead backs.

Why do snap counts matter?

A depth chart says who is listed first. Snap counts say who has been playing. When a listed backup takes more snaps than the listed starter for three games in a row, the chart is behind the field, and the snap counts show it first.

Where do these numbers come from?

From nflverse, an open football data project, which republishes the snap counts recorded for every game. They are refreshed after each week's games. How every measure on this site is computed.
