From the episode

I mentioned in the data dump thread this week that Bucky Irving saw his first goal line rush since the 2024 season on Thursday night. Irving was phenomenal against the Cowboys. He was the best player in that game. But it's like we just can't get perfect usage for him. There's always something to monitor. In this case, we're shifting away from the goal line discussion and we're moving more to the receiving stuff. Now look, Irving saw 12% target share against the Cowboys. That's totally fine. But his route share was a season low 29%.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Irving's route share fell to 29%; third-down snaps collapsed.

Bucky Irving saw his first goal line rush since the 2024 season in Week 5 against the Cowboys, but his receiving work is trending downward; his route share dropped to a season-low 29% in Week 5 despite a 12% target share. From Weeks 1-2, Irving had a 59% route share and 18% target share, but over the last three weeks his third-down snap rate has collapsed from 62% to 14% (23% vs. Cowboys), his route share is 32%, and his target share is 8%, following the formula of route share divided by four.
