Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Jakobi Meyers

Wednesday, October 15, 9:05 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has found the end zone in four consecutive games and should remain a strong fantasy option against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Though they've been more vulnerable on the ground than through the air, the Bengals have still allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. With fellow receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) set to miss a second straight contest, Metcalf should once again command a healthy target share from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who looked his way nine times last week. Fantasy managers who have been counting on Metcalf can confidently deploy him as a WR2 on Thursday Night Football.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) is officially listed as questionable to play this Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. Meyers was unable to practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, but he was upgraded to a limited participant on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up this weekend. With tight end Brock Bowers (knee) expected to miss a third straight game, the Raiders' struggling offense will need all the help they can get against a Chiefs team that is finally looking like a juggernaut again. If Meyers doesn't get the green light to play on Sunday, Tre Tucker and rookies Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech would likely work in starting three-wide sets. Tight end Michael Mayer should also be heavily involved in the passing attack in what should be a positive game script on Sunday. Meyers has been a major disappointment so far in 2025, especially the last two weeks with Bowers out.
