Can Fantasy Managers Count on DK Metcalf to Keep Scoring Touchdowns?

Tuesday, October 28, 8:31 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf hauled in five of his seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in a 35-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Metcalf's score, his fifth of the season, came late in the first half on a two-yard pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He's been a reliable red-zone weapon all year, converting six targets into six catches and three touchdowns inside the 20. While this has boosted his fantasy value, Metcalf's reception totals have been a bit underwhelming for a WR1. He hasn't caught more than five passes in any contest and is averaging fewer than four receptions per game. Still, Metcalf's 17.1 yards per catch rank fifth in the NFL. He should remain efficient and have a good chance of finding the end zone again in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts.
