DK Metcalf Draws Difficult Matchup in Ireland

Friday, September 26, 7:24 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (rest) did not practice on Thursday but carries no injury designation and will suit up in Week 4. He is staring down a challenge against the Minnesota Vikings after posting modest numbers through his first three games with the Steelers. The Vikings have given up the fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season, holding stars like Ja'Marr Chase and Drake London to 50 yards or fewer. While Metcalf and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have shown chemistry in the red zone, Minnesota has allowed just one touchdown to a receiver, and none since Week 1. The seventh-year pro remains the clear top target in Pittsburgh and has the explosiveness to break open for a big play, but expectations should be tempered. Metcalf profiles as a low-end WR2 or flex option for this international showdown in Dublin, Ireland.

Jaylen Waddle News

Jaylen Waddle a Full-Go at Friday's Practice

Friday, September 26, 5:53 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) upgraded to a full practice on Friday after he was listed as limited on Thursday, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Waddle has been battling through a shoulder injury since Week 2, but he hasn't missed any time and should be cleared from the final Week 4 injury report on Saturday. The 26-year-old should be good to go to face the division-rival New York Jets on Monday night. He's going into Week 4 with some momentum, finding the end zone in back-to-back games for the 0-3 Dolphins. Waddle has had at least five targets in all three games and has caught 14 of his 17 targets for 137 yards and two touchdowns. With the Dolphins' offense looking better in last Thursday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills, it makes Waddle more palatable as a WR3/flex in fantasy in Week 4 against the Jets.
