DK Metcalf Has Boom-or-Bust Potential for Sunday Night Football

Friday, November 13, 3:20 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf turned in two quiet performances before the team's Week 9 bye and will need to step up on the road in a crucial divisional showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10. Cincinnati has been a middle-of-the-road matchup for opposing wideouts this season, but the Bengals are allowing the 12th-most passing yards and over 28 points per game at home. Although Metcalf scored a touchdown when these teams last met in Week 3, he recorded just three receptions for 31 yards, while Roman Wilson (finger) outpaced him in targets and receiving yards. Of course, the Steelers will once again be without Wilson and fellow wideout Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) on Sunday night, leaving Metcalf and rookie Germie Bernard as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top targets at receiver. Cincinnati's offense is firing on all cylinders right now, which could force Pittsburgh to throw more in what projects to be a high-scoring affair. Metcalf is far from a reliable fantasy option at this point, but he still offers plenty of upside and should be viewed as a low-end WR2 or solid flex option this week.

Zach Charbonnet Working Into Big Role in Seattle

Friday, November 13, 3:08 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet could be a solid flex play with RB2 upside in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Charbonnet's snap share jumped from 37% in Week 8 to 57% in Week 9. He received 18 opportunities and turned that into 86 total yards. It is only a matter of time before Charbonnet finds the end zone as well. Fellow running back Jadarian Price definitely factors into this backfield, but Charbonnet looks like he could be on his way to a big workload sooner rather than later. The Raiders are No. 29 against opposing running backs in fantasy, allowing a whopping 132.1 rushing yards per game to opposing backfields. Charbonnet could be in for a big day in a game in which the Seahawks project to control the ball. Given that he already pushed for double-digit fantasy points in Week 9, Charbonnet is ripe for setting into fantasy lineups. He is ranked at No. 19, which is about where he should be heading into Week 10.
