Finally gets a reasonable cornerback matchup after squaring off against A.J. Terrell, Christian Gonzalez, DJ Turner, Denzel Ward and Ahmad Gardner to start the season. Metcalf has been an exception and has superior marks in yards per route run (1.75 vs. 1.47) and targets per route run (22% vs. 17%) vs. zone compared to man since the beginning of last season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Metcalf's zone-coverage edge and Buccaneers' physical struggles set up strong week.

Finally gets reasonable cornerback matchup after squaring off against A.J. Terrell, Christian Gonzalez, DJ Turner, Denzel Ward and Ahmad Gardner to start season; those are four of top-5 most man-heavy defenses. Buccaneers are one of just 12 defenses to deploy zone coverage on more than 75% of snaps. While WRs usually see more work against man than zone, Metcalf has been exception with superior marks in yards per route run (1.75 vs. 1.47) and targets per route run (22% vs. 17%) vs. zone compared to man since beginning of last season. Buccaneers struggled to match up physically with George Pickens last week.
