DK Metcalf Scores a Touchdown for the Fourth Straight Game

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.

Garrett Wilson Not Being Ruled Out but Won't Practice on Wednesday

Wednesday, October 15, 12:33 PM

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn isn't ruling wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) out for the Week 7 game on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, but he will not practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. When asked about Wilson's chances of playing this weekend, Glenn said, "We'll see how he progresses" during the week. The 25-year-old suffered a hyperextended knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos in London and is expected to miss a couple of weeks, so it's probably only a matter of time this week before he's ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina. With Wilson expected to miss time, Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard (personal), Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson will all have bigger roles, as well as rookie tight end Mason Taylor. However, fantasy managers may not want to expect much, as the Jets have had one of the worst passing attacks through six weeks.
