From the episode

we have to throw 85 stop routes to Chris Alave and... 35 shallows to Devon Valle... High volume. Chris Alave scares the bejesus out of me. Why was he still in the game at the end?

Mentioned at 20:00 – 21:20

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Alave's high volume driven by Saints' broken running game; usage concerns.

Chris Alave receiving high volume in Saints offense due to their inability to run the ball; Mina Kimes is an enormous Alave fan but expresses concern about high-volume usage pattern, noting he was still in the game at the end of Week 4 despite the Saints' struggles, suggesting unsustainable target load.
