Chiefs interest in a DK Metcalf Trade [traded to the Steelers]

Worthy IS your slot.

As far as what, exactly, clicked toward the back end of the season, Brown thinks that his own return to the lineup has allowed Worthy to move around the formation more often, which has in turn let the Chiefs take advantage of his speed on a more regular basis because he doesn't have to be the only guy stretching the field deep.

And that's definitely been the case. Prior to Brown 's return in Week 16, Worthy lined up in the slot on 31.8% of his snaps, via TruMedia, out wide for 66.6% and in the backfield 1.6% of the time. Since then, he's been in the slot on 44.4% of snaps and outside for 53.7%, while taking 1.9% of his snaps in the backfield. He's been targeted on 30.7% of his routes when working out of the slot across those four games, and he's got 16 catches for 156 yards and two scores on those plays. That's compared with only a 15.8% target rate and 13 catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns from the slot through the first 15 weeks of the season.
