Welcome to the Week 10 edition of Snaps, Pace, & Stats, where we examine trends in snap totals and no-huddle usage. It is meant to be a 30,000-foot view of upcoming games, with the goal of identifying which matchups will – and which will not – be played on fertile fantasy soil.

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals average the 10th-most plays per game (65.6) and allow the second-most (67.8). While their offense became more run-based when Carson Palmer was injured, their games remained high-volume from a snaps angle. Pounding the ball against the Seahawks won’t be as effective as it was against the decimated 49ers. After a rocky run-stopping start to the season, Seattle’s now-ninth-graded run defense is allowing only 3.6 yards per carry since Week 4 (seventh-lowest). Opponents are passing against them at the fifth-highest situation-neutral rate (60.3-percent). For better or (likely) worse, Drew Stanton will take more than 30 dropbacks this week.
