With the New Orleans Saints parting ways with guys like Emmanuel Sanders and Jared Cook who played a lot of snaps as slot receivers, I think it’s safe to say that you can expect Tre’Quan Smith’s usage in the slot to ramp up in 2021.
As a rookie in 2018, he played primarily on the outside, with 402 snaps out wide and 217 in the slot (regular and postseason combined). In 2019, we saw his slot usage rise, with 290 slot snaps and 194 out wide. And in 2020, it was pretty balanced, with 370 in the slot and 315 out wide.
