STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Worthy's Week 1 injury caused temporary offensive adjustment that inflated Brown.

Corey Spala explains that Xavier Worthy was accidentally injured by Travis Kelce in the first quarter of Week 1, which caused a temporary one-game offensive adjustment in Kansas City that inflated Marquise Brown's targets (16) and snap share (93 percent). Once Worthy returned to health, Kansas City adjusted the offense back to normal, and Brown's usage normalized to 3.9 targets and 50.3 percent snap share per game.
