Metcalf's first 1,000-yard season since 2023 should be realistic if he stays healthy, but there's also room to run beyond that toward his 2020 career high of 1,303 yards.

Positive signalProjection

Metcalf projected for first 1,000-yard season since 2023 with upside to 1,303 yards.

Gemini AI projects Metcalf will have his first 1,000-yard season since 2023 as a realistic outcome in 2026, with room to run toward his 2020 career high of 1,303 yards. The projection is supported by McCarthy's pass-first offensive scheme (contrasting with former coordinator Arthur Smith), the addition of Michael Pittman Jr. as a credible No. 2 receiver to draw coverage, second-round pick Germie Bernard's upside to force defensive attention, and Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Metcalf caught 59 passes for 850 yards and six touchdowns in his first Steelers season.
