DK MetcalfWRPIT
Reports suggest Metcalf will move around more in 2024 than last year, but the speaker expects only a modest increase in slot snaps (perhaps 15% to 17%), driven by fewer multiple tight-end sets rather than a major role shift. With Michael Pittman and Jeremy Bernard both capable of playing Z receiver, Metcalf's overall role and fantasy outlook are unlikely to change significantly from prior expectations.
