STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

McCaffrey set for high target volume against Falcons' vulnerable linebacker coverage.

Christian McCaffrey is positioned for high target volume in Week 7 against the Falcons, particularly as a receiver; Kyle Shanahan will exploit favorable matchups against Atlanta's linebacker level, specifically targeting routes to the flat, wheel routes, and choice routes where Harold Perkins Jr.'s attacking style leaves coverage gaps at the second level.
