I like Metcalf as a WR2 this week against Cleveland, where he gained 115 yards on 9 targets in the first meeting. Pittsburgh has looked to him on 34.3% of its first-read targets over the past three games. The Browns play Cover 1 on 41.6% of their dropbacks (most in the NFL). Metcalf has earned a target on 25.8% of his 97 routes against that coverage, averaging 2.12 yards per route run.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Metcalf's Cover 1 efficiency (2.12 YPRR) exploits Browns' 41.6% Cover 1 rate.

Metcalf is a WR2 play in Week 8 against Cleveland's coverage. He gained 115 yards on 9 targets in the first meeting. Pittsburgh has looked to him on 34.3% of first-read targets over the past three games. The Browns play Cover 1 on 41.6% of dropbacks (most in the NFL), and Metcalf has earned a target on 25.8% of his 97 routes against that coverage, averaging 2.12 yards per route run—significantly better than his 1.08 YPRR against zone. The Steelers are among the top teams in DBOE (throw more than expected).
