FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast on DK Metcalf

Metcalf's deep target rate and Saints' weak deep defense make him WR17 with upside.

Derek Brown has DK Metcalf at WR17 and likes the matchup against the Saints. Metcalf is tied for the third most deep targets amongst wide receivers. His historic splits against single high coverage should show up here, as the Saints have given up the 8th most deep receiving yards and the highest passing success rate to deep passing. While Aaron Rodgers has been inconsistent with his ADOT, Brown expects a mix of both low and high ADOT plays this week, with Metcalf positioned to benefit from the deep shots. Pat Fitzmaurice has him at WR21, still roughly in range with consensus.
