FantasyPros Articles on DK Metcalf
From the article
Yes, D.K. Metcalf finished as the WR19 in fantasy points per game last year, but if you rostered him last season, you know that it wasn't nearly that glorious to trot him out in your lineup weekly. In nine of his 15 games played, he was outside the top 24 receivers in weekly scoring.
STACKED’s take
Metcalf's inconsistency fades against Atlanta's single-high coverage weakness.
D.K. Metcalf finished 2025 as WR19 in fantasy points per game but was inconsistent, finishing outside the top 24 receivers in nine of 15 games played. Among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 24th in target share (21.1%), 26th in receiving yards per game (56.7), 25th in yards per route run (1.98), 20th in first-read share (27.7%), and 37th in first downs per route run. However, his Week 1 matchup against Atlanta is favorable: in Weeks 12-18, Atlanta had the fourth-highest single-high rate (59.4%), and against single-high coverage, Metcalf posted a robust 28% target-per-route-run rate and 2.38 yards per route run. Atlanta allowed the second-most fantasy points per game and second-most receiving touchdowns to perimeter wide receivers in that stretch.
