Outlook DK Metcalf
Unlocking Value in Pittsburgh: DK Metcalf Looks to Outperform Shifting Draft Market
Veteran wideout DK Metcalf enters the year anchoring the Pittsburgh passing game alongside Michael Pittman Jr., with veteran Aaron Rodgers under center. With his offseason legal issues completely behind him after Michigan prosecutors declined to file charges from a December fan incident, Metcalf can focus entirely on a productive campaign.
Our models expect another highly productive season, forecasting Metcalf to grab 63 receptions on 101 targets for 883 yards and six touchdowns. These projections closely align with his steady debut season in Pittsburgh, where he notched 64 catches for 872 yards and six scores.
His ADP has experienced notable volatility recently, swinging between the fourth and eighth rounds before stabilizing around 73. At this seventh-round price point, Metcalf represents a potential draft-day steal in 1.0 PPR formats, offering a proven ceiling that easily outpaces his current market cost.

Outlook Troy Franklin
Slot Role and Rising Draft Stock Make Denver's Young Receiver an Intriguing Late-Round Bench Stash
Troy Franklin enters his third professional season projected to operate as Denver's primary slot receiver. While he holds a starting slot role, he must compete for targets alongside established options Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle, which could compress his overall volume.
Coming off a strong sophomore campaign where he posted 709 yards and six scores, our models project a conservative baseline of 33 receptions, 383 yards, and three touchdowns on 50 targets. This projection reflects a more crowded passing hierarchy under quarterback Bo Nix.
His draft stock is rising, with his ADP climbing from the 230s in May to 202 in June. At this late-round price in PPR formats, Franklin is an intriguing bench stash who offers a proven ceiling if Denver's offense takes a leap forward.
