DK Metcalf News
Friday, October 23, 5:08 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf saw 15 targets last week and delivered an excellent fantasy showing alongside rookie wideout Germie Bernard. This week, Metcalf and the Steelers travel to Paris to face the New Orleans Saints, who are allowing the fourth-most yards and the most points per game to opposing offenses. With several Steelers receivers sidelined by injury, quarterback Aaron Rodgers is funneling targets to a limited group of healthy pass-catchers, and Metcalf should remain a primary beneficiary. Although he has found the end zone only once this season, Metcalf was targeted twice in the red zone last week and offers plenty of touchdown upside in this matchup. Fantasy managers can confidently view the eighth-year pro as a solid WR2 on Sunday.

Puka Nacua News
Saturday, October 24, 7:12 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (calf) continues to offer high-end WR1 value, but his Week 7 outlook is bleak due to injury. Nacua is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, and he's trending in the wrong direction after missing Friday's practice entirely. The good news is that if Nacua plays through his injury, we'd be confident enough to start him as a WR1 in fantasy football, especially against a Raiders defense allowing the third-most touchdowns and 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2026. It was previously reported that his injury was of minor severity, which is encouraging if it's true. With that being said, the fact that he didn't practice Friday is a very big concern. Managers might have to wait until 2:55 p.m. ET on Saturday for confirmation on Nacua's status. It would be wise to leave Nacua in the flex spot and have a backup plan from the later window of games in case the star receiver can't play.
