My explanation for this is just that he doesn’t fit the prototype. His route tree is relatively limited. No, he’s not strictly an X anymore, but he’s also not the kind of Rice, Irvin, Megatron, even Chad- even Higgins!- who you ride down the field. That’s not his game (yet). He can take you down there in one play. Like a glorified specialist. A yards per target phenom, #2 in the league last year (Deebo).
The good thing is that once the ball is snapped on Sunday, that doesn’t matter. Few if any wideouts influence defensive approaches like Ja’Marr Chase. Gameplans are designed to jam him at the line and limit his space, often to no avail. He’s definitely Top 10, Top 5, Top…1? in that regard.
