From the article
Still, Metcalf was the clear volume leader. 11 true targets, 25.6% adjusted target share, 93.0% route participation and 151 incomplete air yards on a team-high 60 snaps, including Pittsburgh's only end-zone target of the week - but he caught just 4 of his 10 official targets for 40 yards, and his own offensive pass interference wiped out his longest gain (a 19-yard catch).
STACKED’s take
Metcalf's 25.6% target share and WR1 role offset poor efficiency and tough CB schedule.
Metcalf was the clear volume leader with 11 true targets, 25.6% adjusted target share, 93.0% route participation and 151 incomplete air yards on a team-high 60 snaps, including Pittsburgh's only end-zone target of the week. However, he caught just 4 of his 10 official targets for 40 yards, and his own offensive pass interference wiped out his longest gain (a 19-yard catch). The source treats this week's box score as an outlier given the underlying volume and notes the role is a true WR1 signal. However, it's hard not to be disappointed with Metcalf's lack of efficiency/production given that Michael Pittman Jr. out-gained him on significantly less volume. He does have a challenging stretch of projected No. 1 CBs over the next month with the Steelers' schedule.
