FantasyPros Articles on DK Metcalf
From the article
DK Metcalf is heating up as the WR32 in fantasy points per game with top 20 finishes in two of his last three games in weekly scoring (WR16, WR8). Metcalf should shred the Saints secondary this week. New Orleans has the third-highest rate of single high (64.2%) in the NFL and has struggled to defend deep passing.
STACKED’s take
Metcalf's deep role and single-high matchup set up elite week vs. Saints.
DK Metcalf is heating up as WR32 in fantasy points per game with top-20 finishes in two of his last three games (WR16, WR8). He has a 22.1% target share, 1.35 YPRR, three red zone targets, 12 deep targets (third most among wide receivers), and 31.5% first-read share. Derek Brown advises Metcalf should shred the Saints secondary this week. New Orleans has the third-highest single-high rate (64.2%) and has struggled to defend deep passing. Against single high, Metcalf's TPRR has increased from 20% to 23% while YPRR has risen from 1.17 to 1.44. Historically Metcalf has been much better against single high. The Saints have allowed the eighth-most deep passing yards and highest passing success rate to downfield passing, ninth-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers, and rank 15th in receiving fantasy points per game to the position.
