Dawgs By Nature on DK Metcalf
From the article
Metcalf is ranked #27 on NFL.com in receiving yards (374) and #28 in receptions (32). This is Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers' go-to guy in the passing game. If Ward can neutralize Metcalf, not bite on the double moves, and keep him to pedestrian numbers in this game, it will force Rodgers to rely on other receivers and his tight end, Pat Friermuth.
STACKED’s take
Metcalf faces #1 PFF CB Denzel Ward in crucial matchup; neutralizing him forces Rodgers to other options.
Metcalf is ranked #27 on NFL.com in receiving yards (374) and #28 in receptions (32), serving as Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers' go-to guy in the passing game. He faces elite cornerback Denzel Ward, who is the #1-ranked cornerback in the league according to Pro Football Focus. Metcalf's signature move is an intermediate crossing pattern followed by a step past the post safety on a cut; Ward must avoid biting on double moves to keep Metcalf to pedestrian numbers. If Ward neutralizes Metcalf, Rodgers will be forced to rely on other receivers and tight end Pat Friermuth. At 6'4" and 235 pounds, Metcalf presents a physical challenge, and Pittsburgh fans are expecting a huge game from him.
