Outlook DK Metcalf
Plunging Draft Cost Creates Tremendous Rebound Value in Pittsburgh
DK Metcalf enters the 2026 campaign anchoring a starting perimeter role alongside Michael Pittman Jr. in Mike McCarthy's revamped offense. With Aaron Rodgers under center, Metcalf will move across formations while providing a dangerous downfield and red-zone presence.
Metcalf's draft stock has experienced a sharp tumble, sliding from a steady pick 70 in late July down past pick 115 entering September. Lingering preseason injury concerns fueled the drop, but reports confirm he is on track for Week 1, making his falling cost a premier buying opportunity.
Our models project Metcalf for 66 receptions, 930 receiving yards, and six touchdowns on 108 targets (195.0 PPR points). While passing volume may be distributed across several targets, his suppressed ADP provides fantasy managers with an exceptional floor-to-ceiling return as an everyday WR3.

Outlook Troy Franklin
Crowded Depth Chart and Plummeting Market Cost Push Former Sleeper to Waiver Wire Status
After a promising sophomore campaign in 2025 where he caught 65 passes for 709 yards and six touchdowns, Troy Franklin faces an uphill battle in Denver's revamped offense. With Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle headlining the wideouts alongside added competition in the slot, Franklin enters the year fighting for secondary targets from Bo Nix.
Market sentiment has cratered over the summer. Franklin's ADP collapsed from the 180s in late July all the way to pick 333 by September, accompanied by his roster rate tumbling down to 3%. Fantasy drafters have steadily faded him as his path to consistent volume narrowed.
Our projections forecast 40 catches for 450 yards and five scores (97.0 fantasy points). While his plummeted price makes him practically free, he remains merely a deep-league stash who requires injuries ahead of him on the depth chart to regain meaningful standalone value.
