We’ve been watching Geno increasingly force the ball to DK this season, with last night’s 3/9/32 statline possibly the worst of the year so far, including three terrible deep sideline throws and a bad drop from DK.
DK has the best YPC of any receiver on the team, but is it worth the trade off of so many muffed targets? It seems like Geno is increasingly ignoring his progressions and just targeting Metcalf regardless of coverage and who else is open. It seems obvious that DK should not be getting a third of the team’s total targets at this point in the season.
Stat is irrelevant because DK gets far more deep passes which naturally will have lower completion rates than the others. It’s true on the eye test yes but the stats aren’t so cut and dry
