Who Should I Start? Cole Beasley or DK Metcalf

Friday, October 20, 9:33 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Cole Beasley has asked the team for his release, according to Mike Garafolo. The organization and the veteran wideout have mutually agreed to go their own ways. This makes sense considering the 34-year-old hasn't suited up for the team yet this season. Beasley has been stuck on the practice squad and will now get the chance to look elsewhere for a better opportunity. It's tough to imagine Beasley having fantasy value on any team, but we'll wait and see what happens.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf performed well in his first game in the black and gold and now gets a chance at revenge against the team that traded him earlier this year, the Seattle Seahawks. Metcalf told reporters that Sunday's contest is "just another football game", but the 27-year-old will surely be targeted early and often as the de facto top pass-catcher for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. While he wasn't on the receiving end of any of Rodgers' four touchdown tosses in Week 1, he still paced Pittsburgh in targets and receiving yards while flashing his trademark explosiveness. The Seahawks struggled to contain opposing wideouts in 2024 and just allowed 108 yards to Ricky Pearsall last week, suggesting Metcalf could be in line for another productive showing. He offers plenty of upside as a rock-solid WR2 in Week 2.
