DK Metcalf

"

It was a frustrating year for Metcalf in Seattle as Jaxon Smith Njigba got the looks. With George Pickens moved on from Pittsburgh, Metcalf should be the dominant receiver here. But does he suit the teams style? 

"Should be heavily targeted regardless of game script, as long as Aaron Rodgers learns to trust him in camp."

Metcalf athletically looks like he'd fit the profile for a top-producing receiver. Based on his body of work, he's not quite there. 

What Metcalf does well, he does well enough to flirt with top-12 production. He's strong and violent with his hands at the line of scrimmage. He's good on linear routes that are vertical or work across the middle of the field. He is capable of bodying up and rebounding in contested scenarios in the red zone. He's a strong runner with speed after the catch. 

He's competent with timing routes, but he's not beating top corners with them regularly. He has some lax habits with attacking vertical targets that top receivers win. 

The more Seattle used Metcalf as the focal point in the passing game, the worse his catch percentage became -- and a 60 percent catch rate for his career is just ok. He'll lead the Steelers passing game but think of his ceiling as WR15-20, not WR1-10. 

Realistically, 70 catches, 1000 yards, and 6 TD = Fantasy WR3.

He's a freak. He's 6'3.3" and 228 pounds and runs a 4.33 40-yard dash and posted a 40.5" vertical and an 11'02" broad. He projects as the clear alpha receiver for Aaron Rodgers.
