From the episode

If the Steelers lean more into their running backs and you could see a scenario like last week where Metcalf only got six targets last week because the Steelers were able to run the ball effectively... the Cleveland Browns run defense, give up three rushing touchdowns... Being lower on Metcalf is just the sheer passing volume from the Steelers.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Steelers' run-heavy approach and limited passing volume could suppress Metcalf's targets.

Only six targets last week due to Steelers' effective run game against Saints' weak run defense; Browns run defense also vulnerable (gave up three rushing TDs to Titans/Pollard), so Steelers may lean run again; limited passing volume from Steelers offense (can't be top-three passing team with Aaron Rodgers) and high sack rate (tied with Deshaun Watson for most sacks) could suppress Metcalf's target opportunities.
