DK Metcalf News
Monday, August 24, 8:39 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (undisclosed) was in pads as he returned to training camp practice on Monday, according to Chris Ward of Steelers Now. Metcalf is returning for the first time since suffering an undisclosed injury in practice back on Aug. 8. The veteran wideout said last week that he felt fine and that he is 100% healthy. He said he would be available if it were the regular season. Along with Metcalf, new pass-catcher Michael Pittman Jr. (hamstring) also returned to practice on Monday as the team gears up for the Week 1 regular-season opener in a few weeks. The Steelers were playing it safe the last couple of weeks with their top two WRs, but they should both be ready for the season opener as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top targets. The 28-year-old Metcalf caught 59 passes for 850 yards and six touchdowns in 15 regular-season starts in 2025 in his first year in the Steel City. Fantasy managers shouldn't necessarily bank on a bounce-back to the 1,000-yard mark for Metcalf in his eighth year in the league with an aging QB in his final season and after the addition of Pittman, who Rodgers could lean on heavily as a short-area target.

Jordan Addison News
Saturday, August 22, 9:52 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is starting to look a little more interesting for redraft after a frustrating 2025. He caught 42 of 79 targets for 610 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games, all career lows. The biggest change is at quarterback. Minnesota named Kyler Murray the starter on August 11, and Addison was involved right away, catching back-to-back corner routes during Murray's first practice running exclusively with the first-team offense. He then caught an eight-yard first down from Murray in the preseason opener. Addison's thumb injury earlier in camp did not linger long, either. He was back heavily involved by August 11. There are still a lot of mouths to feed. Justin Jefferson is the clear No. 1, Jauan Jennings joined the room after scoring nine touchdowns last season, and T.J. Hockenson remains in the mix. That keeps Addison's ceiling from getting too carried away. Still, the quarterback job is settled, he's healthy, and the role hasn't gone anywhere. RotoBaller has Addison 84th overall in its latest PPR rankings. He's back in the WR3 conversation with some room to beat that if the offense clicks.
