The WR screen is not a play designed to pick up huge chunks of yardage.

It's basically an extended handoff designed to pick up 3, 4, or 5 yards. It also draws a defense in and will make a defense that is playing soft more honest, with the idea of hitting them over the top at some point.

It's a staple in a lot of team's playbooks.
