STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Metcalf's 40% catch rate on 10 targets signals early struggles in McCarthy's system.

Metcalf caught just 4 of 10 targets for 40 yards against the Falcons in Week 2; Pro Football Focus credited him with one drop and just two catches on five contested targets. His 33% catch percentage on contested targets ranked 66th among NFL receivers with at least 50 targets. Despite an average depth of target of 19 yards—representing nearly 200 yards of available plays—Metcalf failed to capitalize on opportunities in Aaron Rodgers' more pass-friendly offense under Mike McCarthy.
