FantasyPros Articles on DK Metcalf
From the article
D.K. Metcalf caught 5 of a team-high 9 targets (22.5% target share) for 115 yards - his best yardage total of the season - but did not score. Metcalf feels so dependent on the big play even though he has 9-plus targets in 3/4 games this season. He sees so much downfield usage that makes him much more boom-or-bust, especially attached to a QB like Aaron Rodgers.
STACKED’s take
Metcalf's 115 yards came late; sell high before Colts matchup due to boom-or-bust profile.
Metcalf caught 5 of 9 targets (22.5% target share) for 115 yards—his best yardage total of the season—but did not score. His production was heavily front-loaded in reverse: just 2 catches for 22 yards on 4 first-half targets, then 3 catches for 93 yards on 5 second-half targets, with three second-half gains (43, 28, 22 yards) accounting for nearly all production during Pittsburgh's fourth-quarter comeback. The source suggests selling high ahead of the Colts matchup (with CB Sauce Gardner), noting Metcalf feels dependent on the big play and is boom-or-bust, especially with Aaron Rodgers at QB. The Steelers' aging QB has taken 16 hits already this season, raising concerns about whether Pittsburgh can sustain a pass-happy approach.
