From the episode
DK Metcalf week, man. I think he's going to ball out in week one...Against single high, DK Metcalf had a 28% target per route run rate, 2.38 yards per route run...the Atlanta Falcons gave up the seventh most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.
STACKED’s take
Metcalf's single-high matchup vs. Falcons' weak secondary (7th most WR yards allowed) makes him a strong play.
The source identifies DK Metcalf as a strong week one play against Atlanta based on coverage matchup and the Falcons' weak secondary. The Falcons had the fourth highest single-high rate (59.4% of snaps) in weeks 12-18 last year. Metcalf has a clear pattern: fire up in single-high matchups, sit in two-high matchups, dating back to his Seattle days. Against single-high coverage last year, Metcalf had a 28% target per route run rate and 2.38 yards per route run. The Falcons also gave up the seventh most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers in weeks 12-18. The source notes Metcalf is healthy and has good chemistry with Aaron Rodgers.
