DK Metcalf Poised for Heavy Target Volume Against Buccaneers

Metcalf enters Week 6 as Pittsburgh's clear top pass-catching option for Aaron Rodgers. With Michael Pittman Jr. sidelined on injured reserve and Roman Wilson doubtful with a finger injury, the Steelers will heavily lean on Metcalf to anchor the wideout group after drawing 13 targets over his last two games.

Our projections forecast Metcalf for about 10.4 fantasy points on nearly 6.5 targets and 44 receiving yards. Even with a modest projected scoring environment in Tampa Bay, the lack of established target competition makes fantasy managers confident slotting him into lineups as a sturdy WR2 option.

Outlook Ryan Flournoy

Ryan Flournoy at Green Bay — Sneaky Upside in Projected Shootout

Operating as Dallas' primary slot receiver, Flournoy has carved out a regular offensive role, tallying 127 receiving yards over his past two outings. With star receiver CeeDee Lamb currently listed as questionable with a quad injury, Flournoy could see extra targets alongside George Pickens in what projects to be a high-scoring Sunday night tilt at Lambeau Field.

Our weekly projections place Flournoy around 3.1 catches for 38 yards (7.8 fantasy points). Roster rates sit near 6% and he is still seeking his first touchdown of 2026, but the potential for increased volume makes him a viable deep-league flex option if Lamb is limited or sidelined.
