STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Downs led in route share (88%) but underutilized in targets; stock up.

Downs tied for team lead in route share at 88% but was targeted on less than 20% of routes; caught two of three targets for 37 yards on the opening drive but didn't see another target until late fourth quarter despite rarely leaving the field, suggesting opportunity for increased volume.
