Boston gets a zone-heavy Saints defense this week. I'm not sure his splits are even that predictive, but it can't hurt to have him face a Saints defense that plays a lot of zone but isn't even good at it.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Boston faces zone-heavy Saints in Week 9, though his coverage splits may be statistical noise.

Boston shows extreme splits against different coverage types: 0-of-6 on contested targets against man coverage with one drop, versus 5-of-9 against zone with zero drops. The source notes this is unusual, as there's almost no difference league-wide in contested catch rates based on coverage, suggesting Boston's splits might be noise. However, Boston gets a favorable Week 9 matchup against New Orleans, a zone-heavy defense that ranks 26th in EPA per dropback allowed when in zone coverage. The source acknowledges uncertainty about predictiveness but notes the matchup can't hurt.
