DK Metcalf Draws Favorable Matchup in Week 4

Wednesday, September 30, 5:15 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf scored his first touchdown of the 2026 campaign last week and will look to carry positive momentum into a Thursday night showdown with the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland's defense has stepped up over the past two weeks, but the Browns are still allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. In fact, Cleveland has already given up five touchdowns to receivers, with at least one to the position in each of its three games. Although Metcalf was out-targeted by Roman Wilson in Week 3, he remains the clear WR1 in Pittsburgh, averaging eight targets per contest. Michael Pittman Jr., who returned to the lineup last week, is likely to see more opportunities as the season progresses, but it may take some time for him and quarterback Aaron Rodgers to get on the same page. Fantasy managers should view Metcalf as a WR3 or flex option with upside, despite this contest's low projected point total.

Zay Flowers News

Zay Flowers Limited in Wednesday's Practice

Wednesday, September 30, 3:10 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun. Flowers suffered a hamstring injury in the season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts, but not before catching five of his six targets for a career-high 150 receiving yards and his first touchdown of the season. The 26-year-old then missed the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints before returning to Sunday's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He played only 33% of the offensive snaps in his return with the Ravens easing him back in, but he still managed five catches on six targets for 84 yards against Dallas. The Ravens are expected to give Flowers his normal workload in Week 4 against the visiting Tennessee Titans, so the speedy and shifty WR1 for Baltimore should be locked into starting fantasy lineups in all formats as he looks to put early-season injuries behind him.
