From the episode

the usage was a little bit concerning, but, uh, the target rate for when he was actually on the field running routes was very, very promising in terms of the underlying metrics.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Adams' route-based target rate is promising despite concerning overall usage in poor Rams game.

Devante Adams' Week 1 usage was concerning, but his target rate when on the field running routes was very promising based on underlying metrics. The source discussed this on his Substack (supernova38) and is not panicking about Adams. The Rams' poor Week 1 performance was largely due to Matthew Stafford's worst outing, not Adams' role, so the source expects improvement.
