Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on DK Metcalf
VideoCaptured September 19, 2026
From the video

I would give a bump to DK Mechaf, but man, I just think Christian Gonzalez makes his life a living hell for 60 minutes this weekend. I'm not the biggest believer in diving too deep into the wide receiver quarterback matchups, but Gonzo has shadow guys before. He's done a good job at it and like we're talking about maybe the single best quarterback in the NFL. So DK Mechaf for me still going to be a wide receiver three with or without Michael Pitman.

WR3 despite Pittman injury; Gonzalez shadow matchup limits upside
DK Metcalf gets a bump due to Michael Pittman's injury, but Ian Hartitz is not a big believer in the matchup; Christian Gonzalez is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL and has shadowed receivers effectively, making Metcalf's life difficult. Hartitz still ranks Metcalf as a wide receiver 3 with or without Pittman.
