Outlook DK Metcalf

Locked-In WR1 Primed for High-Impact Campaign with Elite Quarterback Play in Pittsburgh

In his second year with Pittsburgh, DK Metcalf is positioned as the primary target on the depth chart. Operating alongside Michael Pittman Jr. and catching passes from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Metcalf's target share remains highly secure. Our models project him to lead the team's wideouts with 101 targets.

Last season, Metcalf secured 64 receptions for 872 yards and six touchdowns. We project a very steady campaign of 63 catches, 883 yards, and another six scores in PPR formats. Furthermore, his legal situation has fully cleared up, leaving him to focus entirely on on-field production.

Analyzing his draft trajectory reveals a fluctuating market. His ADP hovered in the 80s in May, spiked into the mid-40s, and has now settled around 70. At this discount, our projections view Metcalf as a premier draft-day value with WR1 upside.
