Utilization Station: Ben Johnson Effect on Bears Style

The Utilization Report is so versatile. You can look at play volume to see the effect it has on scoring—and fantasy points. Dropback rate gives you insight into which QBs and pass catchers to “target,” no pun intended. Even looking at improvement in the percentage of motion and play-action is vital, because we’ve seen the best offenses rank high in those categories.

That was part of the secret sauce that fueled the Ben Johnson turnaround in Chicago. Caleb Williams taking a big step forward helped, too, but Adam Pfeifer identified that it was the scheme that Johnson employed that made the offense take measurable strides forward. And it has us excited to draft parts of it in fantasy this season. ⤵️
