Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Jakobi Meyers

Saturday, August 30, 7:15 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has consistently targeted wide receiver DK Metcalf near the goal line in training camp. If that continues during the regular season, the 6-foot-4, 229-pound Metcalf could be in line for his first season of 10-plus touchdowns since 2021, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic argues. Metcalf, acquired in the offseason from the Seattle Seahawks, has averaged 73 catches, 1,054 yards, and eight scores per season since entering the NFL in 2019. While that's impressive production, Metcalf could improve on it as the leader of a Pittsburgh receiving corps that lacks proven options behind him. After back-to-back 66-catch seasons, Metcalf is going into 2025 as RotoBaller's 30th-ranked receiver.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers said that he is unsure whether he will sign an extension with the team, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Meyers, who had his trade request denied by the Raiders earlier this summer, said that he decided not to hold out because he wanted to stay loyal to his teammates. The veteran receiver is heading into a contract year and could end up playing for the third team of his career next season. He's coming off a terrific 2024 campaign in which he scored four touchdowns while amassing a career-high 87 catches and 1,027 yards. With Meyers confirming that he won't hold out, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end WR3 in fantasy football this season.
