DK Metcalf A Borderline Must-Start Against Former Team

Friday, September 12, 10:59 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf performed well in his first game in the black and gold and now gets a chance at revenge against the team that traded him earlier this year, the Seattle Seahawks. Metcalf told reporters that Sunday's contest is "just another football game", but the 27-year-old will surely be targeted early and often as the de facto top pass-catcher for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. While he wasn't on the receiving end of any of Rodgers' four touchdown tosses in Week 1, he still paced Pittsburgh in targets and receiving yards while flashing his trademark explosiveness. The Seahawks struggled to contain opposing wideouts in 2024 and just allowed 108 yards to Ricky Pearsall last week, suggesting Metcalf could be in line for another productive showing. He offers plenty of upside as a rock-solid WR2 in Week 2.

Jayden Reed Given Six-to-Eight Week Timetable

Sunday, September 14, 9:59 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone) is looking at a multiple month absence. According to Ian Rapoport, Reed was given a six-to-eight week timetable to return. Reed suffered a broken collarbone during the Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders. This timeframe means that Reed is likely out until some point in November. Fantasy managers can go ahead and place Reed on their IR if they haven't already. The good news is that Reed isn't going to be done for the season. His absence should mean increased roles for Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft.
