Kendrick Bourne News
Saturday, October 24, 2:08 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne seems to be one of the winners in the aftermath of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade to the Texans. Bourne is still operating as a slot receiver almost exclusively in three-WR sets, but for two weeks in a row he has seen the second-most targets on the team. Arizona was held to 218 passing yards last week, and in Week 7, the Broncos represent another challenge to the Cardinals' ability to move the ball through the air. Denver has limited opponents to 230 passing yards per game and is allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers. However, Bourne might find success given his matchup against Broncos slot corner Ja'Quan McMillian. McMillian has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards and 12th-most yards after the catch when in slot coverage. Bourne projects as a WR3/4 and is an interesting flex candidate given his matchup and recent body of work.

DK Metcalf News
Friday, October 23, 5:08 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf saw 15 targets last week and delivered an excellent fantasy showing alongside rookie wideout Germie Bernard. This week, Metcalf and the Steelers travel to Paris to face the New Orleans Saints, who are allowing the fourth-most yards and the most points per game to opposing offenses. With several Steelers receivers sidelined by injury, quarterback Aaron Rodgers is funneling targets to a limited group of healthy pass-catchers, and Metcalf should remain a primary beneficiary. Although he has found the end zone only once this season, Metcalf was targeted twice in the red zone last week and offers plenty of touchdown upside in this matchup. Fantasy managers can confidently view the eighth-year pro as a solid WR2 on Sunday.
