STACKED’s take
Metcalf's matchup vs. Cleveland's aggressive Cover-1 scheme offers sneaky upside.
Metcalf faces Cleveland in Week 8, a very aggressive pass defense that deploys Cover-1 around 44% of the time, one of the highest rates in the NFL. The Steelers' passing game should attack downfield given Cleveland's aggressive scheme. In their Week 4 matchup, Metcalf finished with 115 yards and ripped off chunk plays in the fourth quarter; Rodgers' pass attempts traveled 20-plus yards on nearly 22% of his throws, his second-highest rate of the season. Metcalf has seen a 27.2% target share against Cover-1 this year and was not shadowed by Denzel Ward in Week 4. The source identifies this as a sneaky upside spot for Metcalf, especially with Pittsburgh depleted at wide receiver.
