DK Metcalf A Fantasy WR2 With Upside in Paris

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.

Tee Higgins has Best Fantasy Outing With Huge Second Half

Sunday, October 25, 5:01 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of seven targets for 148 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Baltimore Ravens. This was the 27-year-old's best fantasy outing (PPR) of the season, surpassing his previous season-high mark by one-tenth of a point. What makes this performance even more impressive is that all six of his catches came in the second half of the game. Higgins has repeatedly shown that he can operate as a high-end WR2 with high-end WR1 upside, despite operating alongside star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Higgins has actually outscored Chase in fantasy football this season, and he will continue to rank as a must-start WR2 in a very favorable matchup against the one-win Tennessee Titans next week.
