Yahoo Sports NFL on DK Metcalf
From the article
When you're making the money DK Metcalf is making, 40 yards on 10 targets just won't cut it...The drops that plagued Metcalf throughout this contest are by far the biggest issue...Metcalf needs to be better. After a disappointing first season in Pittsburgh and added help in the receiver room, this was supposed to be the time for Metcalf to break through.
STACKED’s take
Metcalf's 4 catches on 10 targets, drops, and two OPI penalties marked a disappointing debut.
Metcalf had a disappointing Week 1 performance, catching just 4 of 10 targets for 40 yards. He was plagued by drops throughout the contest, including one over the middle that would have resulted in at least a 20-yard gain, and failed to drag his feet down the sideline on a 4th-and-3 play. He also committed two offensive pass interference penalties, one of which negated a 19-yard catch and run. The source notes that at his salary level, this production is unacceptable, and that after a disappointing first season in Pittsburgh and the addition of receiver help, this was supposed to be his breakout year. Instead, the performance featured more drops and personal fouls that cost the team yards. Fan reaction was notably negative, with audible booing after a dropped pass.
