Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Zay Flowers

Saturday, November 15, 1:29 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has been incredibly quiet over the past two weeks, but he'll look to get back on track against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Cincinnati has been middle-of-the-pack against fantasy wideouts overall, though they've been notably tough on opposing WR1s lately. Still, it is difficult to overlook the potential for a shootout, as this contest carries one of the highest projected point totals of the week. While Pittsburgh's tight ends are likely to get involved, Metcalf remains the clear top target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and should see frequent usage on Sunday, especially if both offenses are trading scores. There is plenty of risk associated with starting Metcalf, but he offers a strong amount of upside as a low-end fantasy WR2 against the Bengals.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has very consistently hovered around the high-end WR3 to low-end WR2 area this season. He's been getting 7.3 targets per game and turning them into 5.6 receptions for 69.4 yards. The biggest issue is that he hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 1. He'll go up against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11, who gave up four touchdown passes to Lamar Jackson and company in Week 2. Flowers also had a solid stat line with 11 targets, seven catches, and 75 yards. That puts him squarely into the WR2 conversation again this week, but he does have a WR1 ceiling with Rashod Bateman (ankle) being ruled out for this contest.
