STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Metcalf's fade-route struggles and poor target efficiency raise efficiency concerns.

Metcalf has struggled with ill-conceived fade routes this season and turned 12 targets into just three receptions for 60 yards across two games against the Saints and Browns; he had a despicable outing against Cleveland with an interception and one reception for four yards. The source suggests Rodgers frequently passed up an open Germie Bernard in both games, especially against Cleveland, while continuing to target Metcalf more despite his poor efficiency.
