Yahoo Sports NFL on DK Metcalf

Metcalf's role upgrade under McCarthy offset by stronger WR competition in new offense.

Metcalf was the WR27 on WR34 usage in half PPR last season in a totally different offense. New HC Mike McCarthy typically calls a more 3-WR set, pass-heavy offense, which should help. At the same time, Michael Pittman Jr. and second-round WR Germie Bernard will be better competition than he had last year. The matchup is fairly good: the Falcons won't have either of their 2025 first-round edge rushers and don't have depth along the DL. They do have CB1 A.J. Terrell and S Jessie Bates to match up with Metcalf, but Rodgers should have time to operate. The Falcons were 10th-worst against fantasy WRs last year.
