Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Xavier Worthy

Friday, September 26, 7:24 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (rest) did not practice on Thursday but carries no injury designation and will suit up in Week 4. He is staring down a challenge against the Minnesota Vikings after posting modest numbers through his first three games with the Steelers. The Vikings have given up the fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season, holding stars like Ja'Marr Chase and Drake London to 50 yards or fewer. While Metcalf and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have shown chemistry in the red zone, Minnesota has allowed just one touchdown to a receiver, and none since Week 1. The seventh-year pro remains the clear top target in Pittsburgh and has the explosiveness to break open for a big play, but expectations should be tempered. Metcalf profiles as a low-end WR2 or flex option for this international showdown in Dublin, Ireland.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has been cleared for Week 4 and will be active on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Worthy dislocated his shoulder early in Week 1 and has missed Kansas City's last two games as a result. With Chiefs wideout Rashee Rice still sidelined by a suspension, Worthy should be the number one option for quarterback Patrick Mahomes upon his return. The speedy 22-year-old recorded 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns across 17 games as a rookie in 2024. The Ravens' defense has struggled to contain explosive plays so far in 2025, allowing the fourth-most pass plays of 20 or more yards (12) through the first three weeks of the season. As long as Worthy's shoulder holds up, he should have a few chances to make plays down the field on Sunday. Worthy profiles as a high-end fantasy WR3/flex option in Week 4.
