Breakdown DK Metcalf

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among WR's. Either he is on a bye week or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 12th with 162.40 total points (9.02 avg).
  • Currently 82.88 points behind the leader: Justin Jefferson
  • Average points in the past two weeks have increased by 16.6 PPG. That is great, but how long can he perform at this level? If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

    • Receiving Stats

  • Top 10 in receptions and is currently ranked 9th among WR.
  • Top 10 in targets and is currently ranked 8th among WR.

  • REC: 77, REC YDS: 1047, REC TDS: 7
