From the article

Metcalf is WR36 in fantasy points per game with four games this season with fewer than nine PPR points. The source notes: "Every time I think DK Metcalf should smash, he turns in a wet fart stat line." He started hot with 56 receiving yards in the first half last week before falling asleep after halftime. He has a 21.9% target share, 1.41 YPRR, four red zone targets, 14 deep targets, and a 31.7% first-read share. Against single high, his TPRR has risen from 20% to 23% and his YPRR has increased from 1.11 to 1.56. However, this week he faces the Browns, who have the highest single-high rate in the NFL (75.2%) and have allowed the fifth-fewest yards per target and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers over their last five games.
