DK Metcalf News
Friday, November 13, 3:20 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf turned in two quiet performances before the team's Week 9 bye and will need to step up on the road in a crucial divisional showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10. Cincinnati has been a middle-of-the-road matchup for opposing wideouts this season, but the Bengals are allowing the 12th-most passing yards and over 28 points per game at home. Although Metcalf scored a touchdown when these teams last met in Week 3, he recorded just three receptions for 31 yards, while Roman Wilson (finger) outpaced him in targets and receiving yards. Of course, the Steelers will once again be without Wilson and fellow wideout Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) on Sunday night, leaving Metcalf and rookie Germie Bernard as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top targets at receiver. Cincinnati's offense is firing on all cylinders right now, which could force Pittsburgh to throw more in what projects to be a high-scoring affair. Metcalf is far from a reliable fantasy option at this point, but he still offers plenty of upside and should be viewed as a low-end WR2 or solid flex option this week.

Justin Jefferson News
Friday, November 13, 12:16 PM
The Minnesota Vikings put out the Bat-Signal for quarterback Kirk Cousins this week, and with the possible exception of wide receiver Justin Jefferson himself, nobody is happier about that more than fantasy managers who roster Jefferson ahead of a Week 10 game at Green Bay. The Vikings' offensive ineptitude reached comedic stages in last week's loss to Buffalo, though the All-Pro receiver has a new lease on this season thanks to Cousins, who will start right away after arriving via trade on Tuesday. Jefferson averaged 7.5 catches and more than 108 receiving yards playing with the veteran quarterback in head coach Kevin O'Connell's system, which included leading the NFL in catches and yards in 2022. Cousins' presence should completely revive the team's mid-range and play-action passing attack, where Jefferson has historically done his best work. Against a Packers defense that ranks 26th against half-PPR receivers and 27th in yards after catch, the superstar could be due for a few big plays on Sunday. He's RotoBaller's No. 6 receiver this week and should be started in all formats.
