Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Justin Jefferson

Saturday, December 13, 12:18 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf had an excellent showing in Week 14, hauling in seven of 12 targets for a season-high 148 yards in a win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was listed on the injury report earlier this week and spent a night in the hospital for stomach pain, but appears to be a full-go for Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins. Though Miami's defense is surging, it has still allowed three different wideouts to finish as top-24 fantasy options over its past four games. The weather in Pittsburgh will be worth monitoring, as cold temperatures and strong winds could limit Metcalf's opportunities downfield. Still, the 28-year-old should remain a focal point of the Steelers' offense and profiles as a low-end WR2 for fantasy managers in Week 15.

For the second straight week, the Minnesota Vikings put together an excellent offensive day with modest output from wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who was held to only two catches in his team's 34-26 victory against the Dallas Cowboys. The Vikings targeted Jefferson a team-high eight times, but the result was two catches for 22 yards. It was a hard-luck night for Jefferson, who caught a touchdown from quarterback J.J. McCarthy that was negated by an illegal formation penalty in the first half, missed out on a would-have-been big play when McCarthy overthrew him in the fourth quarter, and then dropped a touchdown later on the same drive. Managers who survived into Week 16 will see Jefferson in a favorable setting against the New York Giants, yet with just six catches in the past three games, it's getting more and more difficult to trust Minnesota's offense to get Jefferson the ball.
