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.

Ja'Marr Chase Posts Double-Digit Catches in First Game with New Quarterback

Sunday, October 12, 9:43 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a solid game in Week 6, his first game playing alongside new Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco. Faced with a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Chase finished Week 6 with 10 catches for 94 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. The 25-year-old now has 42 catches for 468 yards and four touchdowns on 57 targets through his first six games of 2025. After a couple of down games immediately following the Bengals' loss of starting quarterback Joe Burrow (toe), Chase has bounced back over the past two weeks. He remains a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
