From the episode

I think that if Justin Jefferson is aligned in that spot, he's often going to be actually the decoy for these routes and for these concepts... Jefferson recorded an 8.3 explosive play per route rate when on the ball in the slot.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Jefferson may act as a decoy against quarters coverage, boosting teammates' value.

Justin Jefferson may see a decrease in individual production against the Packers' new quarters-heavy defense, as he is often used as a decoy to clear space for teammates. While he remains highly effective when aligned in the slot (8.3 explosive play per route rate), he is frequently used to draw coverage away from the middle of the field in specific route concepts like 'dagger' and 'mills'.
