Can A Struggling DK Metcalf Turn Things Around With Backup QB?

Tuesday, November 18, 10:09 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf turned in yet another disappointing performance in Week 11, securing five of eight targets for 49 yards in a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) exited the contest at halftime and is currently considered questionable to play in Week 12 with a fractured left wrist. If Rodgers can't go, Metcalf will be catching passes from Mason Rudolph, who hasn't started a game since Week 17 of last season. Regardless of who is under center, it is becoming increasingly difficult to trust Metcalf, as he has scored fewer than 10 fantasy points in three straight games. On the bright side, Pittsburgh will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bears have surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts, keeping Metcalf in play as a boom-or-bust WR2.

Jonathan Taylor Carries Colts to Victory in Berlin

Sunday, November 9, 1:17 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had 32 carries for 244 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 42 receiving yards. The superstar running back strengthened his candidacy for the NFL rushing title, and he also improved his unlikely but not impossible odds in the MVP race. Taylor is now the overall RB1 in fantasy football this season. He remains an undisputed must-start on the other side of Indianapolis' Week 11 bye.
