Slot-only role vulnerable to heavy personnel package trends

Slot-only receiver losing snaps as Indianapolis shifted to heavy personnel packages last year; traditional slot-only types are not getting on the field as much as personnel packages evolve, contributing to the decline of the wide receiver two archetype. Matt Harmon cites Downs as an example of how teams shifting to more heavy personnel reduces opportunities for slot-only receivers who don't run routes in those packages.
