DK Metcalf News
Saturday, June 6, 12:11 PM
Across 15 games in his first season with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, wide receiver DK Metcalf recorded 59 catches for 850 yards and six touchdowns on 99 targets. Despite being the obvious number one option in the Pittsburgh passing game, Metcalf set career lows in both targets and receiving yards. Entering 2026, Metcalf may be in an even worse position to produce in Pittsburgh. The Steelers acquired wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. this offseason, who has seen at least 111 targets in each of the last five seasons while playing for the Indianapolis Colts. Pittsburgh also used second and fourth-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on wideouts Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen. As Metcalf enters his age-29 season, his dynasty stock is at an all-time low.

Malik Nabers News
Wednesday, June 10, 9:14 AM
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is making "really good progress" and is "very hopeful that he'll be back soon," according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Harbaugh added that he understands it will take time for Nabers to fully get back to himself. The head coach said a few weeks ago that Nabers was in the middle of his rehab from a meniscus and ACL tear, and he's now estimating that Nabers is 70-80% through it now. The 22-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2024 out of LSU was a Pro Bowler in his first year in the NFL and has caught 127 passes for 1,475 yards and nine touchdowns in his first 19 games with the Giants, proving that he's a high-end WR1 when healthy. However, the uncertainty surrounding his return timeline as he prepares for his third NFL season has caused him to fall in 2026 fantasy rankings. It's unclear if he'll be ready for the start of training camp at the end of next month, which has made him more of a high-risk/high-reward No. 2 WR target in fantasy drafts in 2026.
