STACKED’s take
WR22 vs. Saints; 32% targets on single-high; back to vertical X-receiver role
Ranked WR22 against the New Orleans Saints in Paris. Saints play single-high coverage at the third-highest rate, and Metcalf sees 32% of the team's targets against single-high looks. Over the last four games, Metcalf has posted WR30 and WR25 usage finishes. Saints structurally don't want players like Metcalf to beat them, but they lack the talent to stop him; they've allowed 165 yards to Neighbors, 68 yards and a score to Justin Jefferson, 96 yards to Drake London, and a WR22 finish to Jalen Dawson. Team total is nearly 24 points above average. Metcalf's role has shifted significantly this year back to the Seahawks-style vertical X-receiver role, with Jeremy Bernard handling manufactured touches and blocking, leaving Metcalf to run crossers, posts, verticals, and stop routes on the outside rather than the quick slants that were effective last year.
