Outlook KC Concepcion
Dynamic Rookie Slot Receiver Primed for Immediate Volume in Cleveland
Drafted 24th overall, KC Concepcion has immediately carved out the starting slot role in Cleveland's reloaded receiver corps alongside Jerry Jeudy and Denzel Boston. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken has utilized the versatile rookie in creative designs, drawing comparisons to Zay Flowers while building strong summer chemistry in passing drills.
Our projections forecast a productive rookie campaign of 62 receptions on 90 targets for 725 yards and three touchdowns (145.0 fantasy points). His sharp route running and run-after-catch dynamism provide a steady floor in 1.0 PPR formats, regardless of how the ongoing quarterback competition unfolds.
Concepcion's draft market momentum has rebounded toward pick 120 after a slight early-August dip, aligning with a surge in fantasy rostership to 63%. Given his secure starting snaps and built-in target volume, Concepcion profiles as an enticing late-round value who offers immediate weekly FLEX upside.

Outlook DK Metcalf
Proven Red-Zone Role and Target Share Present Clear Draft-Day Value
Metcalf enters his second season in Pittsburgh leading the wide receiver room alongside Michael Pittman Jr. in Mike McCarthy's offense. With Aaron Rodgers distributing the ball and plans to move Metcalf around formations, he remains the primary boundary threat. Minor camp injury concerns have cleared, putting him firmly on track for Week 1.
After recording 64 receptions, 872 yards, and six touchdowns in 2025, our projections anticipate a comparable workload of 66 catches for 930 yards and six scores on 108 targets (195.0 fantasy points). His size and contested-catch ability provide a secure red-zone role in this revamped passing attack.
Fantasy drafters have shown slight hesitation, with his ADP dipping from 70 in early July down to 76 in late August. That modest slip makes him an attractive draft-day value rather than a risky reach, offering reliable WR3 production with weekly touchdown upside.
