Metcalf's perception has been far better than his fantasy production for years. We have to go back to 2020 (!!) to find a top-20 fantasy season for the Year 8 wideout. That top fantasy season came on the back of 40 Russell Wilson touchdowns in a dominant offense.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Metcalf's last top-20 season was 2020; Rodgers' quick-route preference and Pittman's arrival make him a fade.

Metcalf's perception has far exceeded his fantasy production for years; his last top-20 fantasy season was 2020 on the back of 40 Russell Wilson touchdowns in a dominant offense. At ADP 86.2 in Year 8, he's not a compelling value. With Aaron Rodgers targeting him under 100 times in 15 games and favoring quick routes over Metcalf's vertical-focused tree, production has lagged. Now Michael Pittman Jr., a true WR2 fitting Rodgers' play style, joins the Steelers. The question becomes whether Metcalf can produce with his 42-year-old QB and increased competition.
