Outlook DK Metcalf

DK Metcalf Cleared for Week 1 — Poised to Lead Steelers Receiving Corps at Home

After missing time during training camp with an undisclosed injury, Metcalf was removed from the injury report and is fully cleared for Week 1. He steps into the opener as Pittsburgh's top perimeter weapon alongside Michael Pittman Jr., providing Aaron Rodgers with a reliable downfield target.

Our models project Metcalf for around four catches on roughly seven targets for 56 yards and 13.8 fantasy points against Atlanta. While the matchup projects as a lower-scoring battle, his red-zone upside and primary role mean fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
