STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Metcalf's target share fell 11.4 points with zero second-half targets despite 92% snap share.

Metcalf led the Steelers' target tree at 19.4% adjusted (of 31 adjusted attempts) but fell 11.4 points from 30.8%. He caught 2 of 6 for 56 yards on 59 of 64 snaps (92%, down from 75 of 79 (95%) in Week 6, −3 points). Notably, he had 6 targets in the first half and none in the second half. 51 of his 56 yards came on one catch (46 air yards, his longest by air yards since Week 3 of 2020 per NGS). The source attributes this to the nature of the game: Pittsburgh called runs at a season-high 46.0% rate to exploit the matchup, down from a 71.1% called pass rate the prior week.
