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.

Van Jefferson News
Friday, March 13, 12:25 PM
The Washington Commanders are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver Van Jefferson (forearm) to an undisclosed deal on Friday, a source told Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Even though it's wide open right now behind WR1 Terry McLaurin in D.C., the 29-year-old Jefferson will most likely serve as a depth option for the Commanders in 2026. The team also brought back Dyami Brown on Friday after he spent his first four seasons with Washington. Jefferson ended last year on Injured Reserve due to a forearm injury. Before his injury, the former second-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 caught 29 of his 52 targets for 350 yards and one touchdown in 16 games (seven starts) with the Tennessee Titans. Jefferson's career year in 2021 with the Rams in his second year in the league has been the outlier, as he hasn't come anywhere close to the 802 receiving yards and six TDs he had that season. The Commanders are likely to bring in more receiving help via free agency and the draft, which would push Jefferson further down the WR depth chart.
