Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or DK Metcalf

Friday, September 26, 11:22 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley hasn't played well this season. Through the first three weeks, the wideout has only eight catches (21 targets) for 111 yards. He also hasn't scored a touchdown. To be fair, quarterback Cam Ward (ankle, calf) has played poorly, with the rookie throwing for 506 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while completing only 54.5% of his attempts. It's unknown how long it will take ward to find his footing at the professional level. However, as long as the signal-caller continues to struggle, Ridley may not be the best option for any fantasy lineup in Week 4 versus the Houston Texans and beyond. The risk will remain moving forward until Ward proves he can get it together.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (rest) did not practice on Thursday but carries no injury designation and will suit up in Week 4. He is staring down a challenge against the Minnesota Vikings after posting modest numbers through his first three games with the Steelers. The Vikings have given up the fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season, holding stars like Ja'Marr Chase and Drake London to 50 yards or fewer. While Metcalf and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have shown chemistry in the red zone, Minnesota has allowed just one touchdown to a receiver, and none since Week 1. The seventh-year pro remains the clear top target in Pittsburgh and has the explosiveness to break open for a big play, but expectations should be tempered. Metcalf profiles as a low-end WR2 or flex option for this international showdown in Dublin, Ireland.
