Outlook DK Metcalf
Pittsburgh Trade Offers New Ceiling in Mike McCarthy's Offense
DK Metcalf enters his second season with Pittsburgh firmly entrenched as the primary outside wide receiver on the depth chart alongside Michael Pittman Jr. Operating in an offense directed by Mike McCarthy, Metcalf offers a robust downfield skill set that projects for roughly 62 receptions, 905 receiving yards, and 6 touchdowns across a full campaign. Our internal projections value him near 192.6 fantasy points in 1.0 PPR formats, making him a reliable option for managers looking for steady weekly scoring.
His draft market trajectory has remained remarkably stable throughout the summer, holding steady at an ADP of 70.00 over the past month after dipping slightly into the fourth round earlier in the spring. This consistent mid-round cost positions him as a balanced draft-day selection, balancing his elite physical traits with manageable draft capital. Fantasy managers are currently rostering him heavily with an 86% ownership rate, though his active start percentage hovers around 36% as drafters evaluate the overall target competition.
Target distribution in Pittsburgh introduces some nuance, as sharing the field with Pittman Jr. and working with Aaron Rodgers' penchant for a controlled passing game could occasionally cap his explosive ceiling. Even so, his proven career efficiency and locked-in role inside the starting lineup provide a strong floor that justifies his current market price as a solid WR2/FLEX anchor.

Outlook Jakobi Meyers
Reliable target earner capable of outperforming his mid-round draft price
Jakobi Meyers enters the season holding down a starting role on the outside of the Jacksonville offense. Looking at his draft trends, his ADP hovered near the early fifth round earlier in the summer before settling down into the ninth round around pick 91. This correction presents an enticing buying opportunity for fantasy managers seeking a high-floor pass catcher in 1.0 PPR formats.
Our models project Meyers to haul in around 65 receptions for 756 yards and 4 touchdowns over the full year. Operating alongside Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington, his proven route-running savvy and reliable hands ensure a steady diet of looks, especially on intermediate routes and critical down-and-distance situations.
Given his strong ownership levels and consistent career production, our projections suggest he is currently undervalued at his current cost. Fantasy managers drafting him as a depth piece or flex option could easily find themselves with a weekly starter who regularly beats expectations.
