DK Metcalf Should Keep Rolling Against Division Rival

Wednesday, October 15, 9:05 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has found the end zone in four consecutive games and should remain a strong fantasy option against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Though they've been more vulnerable on the ground than through the air, the Bengals have still allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. With fellow receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) set to miss a second straight contest, Metcalf should once again command a healthy target share from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who looked his way nine times last week. Fantasy managers who have been counting on Metcalf can confidently deploy him as a WR2 on Thursday Night Football.

DeVonta Smith Keeps Falling by the Wayside on Eagles Offense

Friday, October 17, 8:20 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is coming off of another underwhelming performance, failing to eclipse 50 receiving yards in a game for the third time this season last week. Managers never really know what they're in for when starting Smith, and the doubts will only grow stronger this week as he faces a strong Vikings defense. Minnesota has been able to shut down receivers for the most part this season, and Smith has taken a backseat to A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert repeatedly. He's best seen as a WR3/FLX option in Week 7.
