Outlook DK Metcalf
DK Metcalf vs. CLE at home — Primary target in a gritty divisional matchup
Metcalf commands the top wideout role in Pittsburgh's passing attack, operating as Aaron Rodgers' go-to weapon on the outside. With Michael Pittman Jr. on injured reserve, Metcalf's volume remains secure, backed by 21 targets and 13 receptions over his last two games while leading the NFL in yards against man coverage.
Facing Cleveland in a defensive battle, our projections anticipate another active afternoon, slating him for roughly five receptions and 65 yards on nearly nine targets (14.2 fantasy points). Currently started in over 70% of leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a strong WR2.

Outlook Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst vs. Falcons — Expanded Perimeter Role with Egbuka Sidelined
Hurst is positioned for an expanded perimeter role against Atlanta with top wideout Emeka Egbuka officially ruled out due to concussion and foot injuries. Listed as a starter on the outside across from Chris Godwin, the rookie has a clear path to extra routes and vacated looks in a tightly projected divisional contest.
Our weekly projections slate Hurst for roughly five targets, 2.6 receptions, and 37 receiving yards (8.2 fantasy points). While rostered in just 6% of leagues following modest recent volume, the significant injury opening makes him a viable deep-league play or desperation flex dart with touchdown upside.
