After recording four interceptions in his first six games with the Pittsburgh Steelers after being acquired from the Miami Dolphins in a Week 3 trade, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was targeted just twice over the final eight weeks of the season as opposing offenses simply stopped throwing the ball anywhere near him. That stat came courtesy of our own defensive charting done by Alex Kozora.
That lack of production from Fitzpatrick during the second half of the 2019 season now has the Steelers prepared to move their All-Pro and Pro Bowl free safety around in the defense a little more in 2020 instead of keeping him mostly anchored deep as a post safety in single-high looks.
