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. Against single high, Metcalf's TPRR has increased from 20% to 23% while his YPRR has risen from 1.17 to 1.44.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Metcalf's deep-ball upside and single-high splits align perfectly with Saints' weak secondary.

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 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. Against New Orleans' third-highest single-high rate (64.2%), Metcalf's TPRR increases from 20% to 23% and YPRR rises from 1.17 to 1.44. The Saints have allowed the eighth-most deep passing yards and highest passing success rate to downfield passing, positioning Metcalf to convert his robust downfield role into production.
