DK Metcalf News
Friday, October 30, 6:30 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf was held to just two receptions in last week's win and will look to get more involved against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. Cleveland has allowed several big performances to opposing wideouts this season, including one from Metcalf when these teams met in Week 4. Pittsburgh's WR1 finished with five receptions for 115 yards on nine targets, while Roman Wilson (finger) added three catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in the loss. With Wilson and Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) both on injured reserve, Metcalf and rookie Germie Bernard should once again serve as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top options in the passing game. Metcalf's boom-or-bust production makes him difficult to rely on consistently, but he still offers plenty of upside as a fantasy WR2 in this crucial divisional matchup.

George Pickens News
Sunday, November 1, 6:42 AM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Jon Machota. Pickens was listed as questionable after receiving a limited designation on Wednesday's estimated injury report and practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday. The 25-year-old has caught 19 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns over his last three games, including four receptions for 57 yards and a score against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. With Pickens available alongside CeeDee Lamb, Dallas will have its top two receivers despite KaVontae Turpin (ribs) being ruled out. RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings place Pickens at WR12, making him a strong WR2 option for fantasy managers against Arizona.
