Video: Ranking Every Week 16 Wide Receiver as a Start or Sit
I'm likely going to end up benching him...BTJ has been on the outside 80% of the time...if he does lean one way or the other, BTJ does feel a little bit more like the guy playing the exterior routes that will get a little bit more coverage

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Benched by Dvonte Adams; 80% outside routes face Surtain shadow.

Coming off productive recent performances but Dvonte Adams is benching him for Week 16 against Denver due to unfavorable matchup concerns. BTJ runs 80% of his routes on the exterior, making him more likely to draw Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II's shadow coverage. Surtain has shadowed elite receivers like Calvin Ridley, Jamar Chase, and AJ Brown at 60%+ route rates, creating significant coverage risk despite BTJ's recent production.
