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.

Drake London News

Drake London a Low-End WR1 with Reliable Target Volume

Saturday, October 24, 7:47 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London drew a team-high 10 targets last week, but was only able to convert them into four catches for 62 scoreless yards. The 6-foot-4 wideout is averaging over nine targets per game with Michael Penix Jr. at the helm and tallied 96 yards or more in three straight before last week, but he's yet to find the end zone so far this year. The heavy target volume should continue in Week 7 as the team's unquestioned No. 1 receiver, but a matchup against the 49ers could prove challenging. The San Francisco defense is allowing just 209.8 yards passing per game (11th-fewest) and ranks as the 23rd-overall defense in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, limiting opposing wideouts to only five touchdowns in six games. Still, expect the 25-year-old to be peppered with targets again, and although he may not find the end zone, he ranks as the No. 10 receiver this week at RotoBaller in half-point PPR leagues, making him a low-end WR1.
