DK Metcalf Should Return to Form in Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 12:59 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf had a disappointing outing in Week 7 but is poised to bounce back against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. The Packers have been strong against the run and average against the pass, setting up a favorable game script for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his weapons. Even with fellow wideout Calvin Austin III (shoulder) returning to the lineup, Metcalf remains the focal point of Pittsburgh's passing attack. He leads the Steelers in all major receiving categories and is tied for the team lead in red zone targets. With this contest projected to feature plenty of scoring, Metcalf profiles as a high-end WR2 and a must-start fantasy option in most formats.

Russini: Saints Unlikely to Trade Chris Olave

Saturday, October 25, 11:59 AM

According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, the New Orleans Saints are not expected to trade wide receiver Chris Olave ahead of this year's deadline. Olave is in the final year of his rookie contract, sparking speculation about a potential move, but the Saints reportedly have no plans to deal him and are instead interested in a contract extension for their young star. Olave has been a target hog in 2025, catching 44 of 71 targets for 440 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. With the Saints committed to keeping him in New Orleans, Olave should continue to dominate the passing volume and profiles as a low-end WR2 for the rest of the fantasy season.
