DK Metcalf A Fantasy WR2 With Upside in Paris

Friday, October 23, 5:08 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf saw 15 targets last week and delivered an excellent fantasy showing alongside rookie wideout Germie Bernard. This week, Metcalf and the Steelers travel to Paris to face the New Orleans Saints, who are allowing the fourth-most yards and the most points per game to opposing offenses. With several Steelers receivers sidelined by injury, quarterback Aaron Rodgers is funneling targets to a limited group of healthy pass-catchers, and Metcalf should remain a primary beneficiary. Although he has found the end zone only once this season, Metcalf was targeted twice in the red zone last week and offers plenty of touchdown upside in this matchup. Fantasy managers can confidently view the eighth-year pro as a solid WR2 on Sunday.

Ashton Jeanty a Low-End RB2 in Week 7

Friday, October 23, 3:27 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty needs a bounce-back week, and he will take on another heavy workload in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. His efficiency has gone down since the second week of the season, and he is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry. But with backup RB Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) listed as questionable, Jeanty could assume full responsibility for the ground game. The former Boise State product posted a season-low 22 yards on 10 carries in Week 6, although he did score his first touchdown of the season. The Rams have struggled to contain the run this season, which Jeanty could use to his advantage. Still, his decrease in efficiency makes him a low-end RB2 ahead of this Week 7 matchup.
