From the article

Metcalf's slant route rate skyrocketed to 23.8% on Sunday, way, way up from his 13.8% rate from a season ago. Given Rodgers' propensity to hyper-target slant routes, this is a very, very encouraging shift for Metcalf if it holds.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Metcalf's slant route rate jumps to 23.8% with Rodgers; buy-low candidate.

Metcalf accumulated 171 air yards in Week 1 (2nd most in NFL), accounting for 48% of Pittsburgh's total air yards on 10 targets and 9 go routes (22% of usage). His slant route rate skyrocketed to 23.8% in Mike McCarthy's offense, up from 13.8% last season; given Aaron Rodgers' propensity to hyper-target slant routes (96 over last two seasons), this is an encouraging shift for Metcalf's usage going forward.
