Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Chris Olave

Sunday, October 12, 10:34 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf looked fresh coming off the bye week in the 23-9 victory over the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 6 on Sunday. Metcalf scored a touchdown for the fourth straight game and also caught four of his nine targets on the day for 95 yards. The efficiency wasn't great, but Metcalf once again led the team in targets and receiving yards in a game in which the Steelers were never really threatened. The veteran wideout made up for his lack of efficiency against Cleveland by going for over 20 yards on all four of his receptions. Metcalf is clearly quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top target every week in a receiving corps that doesn't have many other exciting options in the passing attack. In addition to four straight games with a touchdown, Metcalf has topped 80 yards in three of his first five games in Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old should be a busy man on Thursday night in Week 7 in an excellent matchup against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals and their weak defense.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave earned double-digit targets (10) in Week 6 for the fifth time in six games this season, hauling in six catches for 98 yards against the New England Patriots. The 25-year-old has been a target monster so far in 2025, recording 39 catches for 342 yards and one touchdown on 64 targets. Overall, Olave's efficiency has been mediocre at best (career-low 8.8 yards per reception). However, he took a step in the right direction in Week 6 by averaging 16.3 yards per reception. Olave is the clear number one option in the Saints' passing game, which provides a consistent floor for fantasy managers in PPR leagues. He profiles as a safe WR2 with upside in PPR scoring formats going forward.
