On its face, a multi-week slide of targets and air yards for any WR would be a concern. But when Jared Goff needed to throw, which felt like every play, he was looking to No. 14.

St. Brown's volume decline is seasonal regression, not role loss; Cardinals matchup supports WR1 upside.

St. Brown's targets and air yards have declined over Weeks 1-4 (target rate 37% weeks 1-2, 26% weeks 3-4; air yard share 39% weeks 1-2, 23% weeks 3-4), but underlying metrics show continued first-read usage: in Week 4 he led WRs with 8 targets on throws of 2.75 seconds or less, and maintains elite red zone (23.5%, 2nd) and pressured-situation (18.2%, 2nd) target rates. Using 2025 season baseline (31% target rate, 38% air yard share), early-season volume appears to regress to mean; Cardinals matchup historically favors WR1s (19.2-42.5 PPR range).
