DK Metcalf News

DK Metcalf's Dynasty Stock is Declining Rapidly Entering 2026

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.

Nico Collins Agrees to Contract Adjustment with Texans

Tuesday, May 26, 12:16 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has reached an agreement on an adjustment to his current contract with the team, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter reports that the adjustment will guarantee Collins' salary for the next two seasons and also includes $17 million in cash increases. While Collins was already under contract with Houston, this new agreement should help ensure that fantasy managers do not have to worry about any contract-related disputes that result in Collins holding out. The 27-year-old recorded 71 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns on 120 targets across 15 games in 2025 and has hauled in 21 touchdown receptions over the past three years with the Texans. As long as Collins stays healthy, he profiles as a low-end fantasy WR1 heading into 2026.
