Metcalf is available at ADP 97 and represents value as the Steelers' clear number-one option. The offense is undervalued: Arthur Smith (who favored slow play and obscure options) is no longer calling plays; Mike McCarthy, an offensive-minded coach who believes in utilizing wide receivers heavily, is now in charge. Metcalf is the only notable WR to have already played with Aaron Rodgers. In 2025, he adapted to Rodgers' limitations by becoming a YAC monster, generating 7.2 YAC per reception (fourth-most among WRs with 50+ targets), a massive increase from his 4.25 career average. The Steelers scored only 14 red-zone TDs (tied for 20th), and Metcalf was the clear choice with 13 targets—six more than any other player. If red-zone work is maintained and the Steelers improve offensively, he'll pay off his ADP handsomely.PositiveValueJul 10, 2026
