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.
I’m not saying DK should be traded, nor is he the only problem. I’m saying the Geno-DK connection may be more liability than benefit at this point, and they should be seriously looking at diversifying Geno’s first targets in practice.
