Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Puka Nacua

Friday, December 5, 9:42 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has been held below 50 receiving yards in five straight games but will hope to turn things around against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Baltimore has been vulnerable to receivers this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points, the third-most targets, the ninth-most receptions, and the eighth-most receiving touchdowns to the position. With Pittsburgh entering Sunday's divisional showdown as underdogs, quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) could be forced to throw often to keep pace in a game that may determine the AFC North front-runner. Despite his recent struggles, Metcalf remains the clear top option in the Steelers' passing game and will need to play a crucial role if they hope to compete. Fantasy managers can deploy Metcalf as a boom-or-bust WR3 or flex play this week.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to play at a superstar level. Last week against the Carolina Panthers, he caught six of nine targets for 72 yards and made a jaw-dropping one-handed catch near the sideline. He now has 1,092 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns this year, ranking as the overall WR4 in PPR leagues. The 24-year-old has shown that he can co-exist with Davante Adams. Nacua has been the catch and yardage machine in this offense, while Adams is the touchdown threat. Both players are top fantasy receivers for Week 14, with RotoBaller's expert rankings listing Nacua as the WR6 and Adams as the WR7. The Rams are taking on an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, but Nacua has proven that he is matchup-proof and should be deployed as a high-end WR1 regardless of his opponent.
