STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Smith-Njigba's high target share under Kubiak serves as a model for Bowers' usage.

Ben Solak highlights Jaxon Smith-Njigba's usage under Clint Kubiak last season as a blueprint for how Bowers will be used in Las Vegas. Smith-Njigba accounted for over 40% of the team's receiving yards and a 37% target share, demonstrating Kubiak's ability to creatively manufacture touches for his star pass-catcher.
