D.K. Metcalf's 97% snap share - the highest of any Pittsburgh skill player - reinforces his clear-WR1 role. But man, Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez put the clamps on him. Gonzalez matched up against DK Metcalf 34 times in Week 2 against the Steelers, his most matchups against a single receiver in a game in his career. When matched up with Metcalf, Gonzalez limited him to just three receptions for 11 yards.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Metcalf's role intact but efficiency poor; Gonzalez held him to 3 catches for 11 yards.

Maintained clear WR1 role with 97% snap share (highest of any Pittsburgh skill player) and 23.3% adjusted target share, but efficiency collapsed. Finished 4 catches on 9 targets for 27 yards (true line: 10 targets, 42 yards with penalty-erased 15-yard catch), plus a brutal drop. Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez matched up against Metcalf 34 times in Week 2, his most matchups against a single receiver in a game in his career, limiting him to 3 receptions for 11 yards (two behind the line of scrimmage). Across two career games, Gonzalez has matched up against Metcalf 64 times, holding him to 7 catches for 38 yards on 15 targets. Metcalf has just 8 catches on 19 targets this season overall.
