Yahoo Sports NFL on DK Metcalf

Rodgers committed to feeding Metcalf despite Week 1 struggles; blames officiating, not talent.

Aaron Rodgers stated he is not worried about DK Metcalf despite a rough Week 1 performance (40 receiving yards on 10 targets, drops, two offensive pass interference calls). Rodgers emphasized his confidence in Metcalf, saying "I love DK. He's one of my closest friends on the team, and I'm going to keep feeding him." Rodgers attributed the poor performance to officiating inconsistencies and near-misses rather than Metcalf's ability, noting that Metcalf "almost made a ridiculous catch" on one play and "usually catches" the type of pass he dropped. Rodgers' commitment to continuing to target Metcalf suggests sustained volume going forward.
