Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Hassan Haskins

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.

Just before the Los Angeles Chargers' Week 6 contest against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, it was announced that running back Hassan Haskins would start for the Bolts in the first game without rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton (ankle), who is on Injured Reserve. Haskins got the start, but he quickly gave way to Kimani Vidal, who dominated backfield work with 18 carries for 124 rushing yards while playing 67% of the offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Haskins only played 31% of the snaps and saw six carries for 14 yards while catching his only target for a gain of nine yards. The Chargers could use more of a split backfield going into a Week 7 meeting against the Indianapolis Colts. Still, Vidal definitely was the more explosive back in the first game without Hampton. The 25-year-old still deserves to be rostered in deep leagues for RB depth with Hampton out, but he won't be a recommended flex play against Indy.
