Pittsburgh's Big Day Still Ends Up A Dud For DK Metcalf

Sunday, October 11, 4:09 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers scored 34 offensive points in a victory against the Indianapolis Colts, but that didn't amount to much for wide receiver DK Metcalf, who ended the day with just three catches for 12 yards and one rush for 11 yards. The veteran receiver was fourth on the team with four targets while running back Jaylen Warren and tight end Pat Freiermuth accounted for a combined four touchdowns. Metcalf has now been held to four or fewer catches and 40 or fewer receiving yards in four of the Steelers' five games. Pittsburgh has a favorable second-half schedule for a receiver, but Metcalf is becoming increasingly difficult to trust in fantasy lineups. The Steelers will travel to Tampa in Week 6.

Zay Flowers News

Zay Flowers Active for Sunday Night Football Vs. Falcons

Sunday, October 11, 3:15 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5. Flowers was limited throughout the practice week with a foot issue and entered the weekend with a questionable designation. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday morning that Flowers was expected to play against Atlanta. Flowers, who missed a Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints due to a hamstring injury, is tied with tight end Mark Andrews for the most receptions on the Ravens so far in 2026 with 18. Flowers leads the team with 352 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. However, Flowers and the Ravens will be without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) due to an ankle injury. Tyler Huntley will start at quarterback for Baltimore.
