I thought this was interesting:

For the first time since we've started recording personnel groupings, 11 personnel usage dropped last season, falling from 60.4 percent of plays to 59.3 percent. DVOA for 11 personnel groupings also fell, from 7.5% to 7.0%. Neither of these dropoffs are overly dramatic; 2017 still saw the second-highest percentage of 11 personnel we've ever recorded. It's just that whenever you see a half-decade trend reversing itself, that's worth stopping to take note.
The Dolphins were much, much more effective when they brought in a second tight end rather than using three receivers. The goal was to get Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker, and Kenny Stills on the field at the same time as often as possible, with all three playing about 90 percent of snaps when healthy. In fact, no team in football had more passes out of 11 personnel than the Dolphins did. And yet, their passing DVOA in 11 personnel was -6.5%; in all other personnel groupings, it was 31.6%.
