From the episode

When Kenny Gainwell leads the way for your team in terms of receiving, after you paid DK Metcalf... DK Metcalf was bad... I have Metcalf higher with just some more touchdown opportunity, but neither of them are ranked out of control.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Metcalf underperformed despite investment; limited deep-ball upside.

DK Metcalf was bad last year for the Steelers despite being paid well; he was a major target for the offense but did not produce fantasy value, contributing to the Steelers' 26th-ranked offense in yards per game. Ranked outside the top 30 in fantasy points in half-point PPR; the source has Metcalf ahead of Michael Pittman in total fantasy points due to more touchdown opportunity, but neither are viewed as primary targets in the draft. Aaron Rodgers' clean pocket 20-plus air yard throws were "really bad" on tape, suggesting limited deep-ball opportunity despite Metcalf's receiving ability.
