Metcalf projects as WR3 despite McCarthy system upgrade due to target competition.
DK MetcalfWRPIT
Metcalf caught 59-of-99 targets for a career-low 850 receiving yards and six touchdowns last season. His 37.5-percent contested catch rate was low for a player with his size, speed, and deep target profile, though Rodgers' dwindling arm strength played a part in lack of deep ball success. Metcalf will move from Arthur Smith's offense to McCarthy's more promising passing-game system, but optimism is balanced by added target competition and Rodgers' low depth of targets. Metcalf projects as a modest fantasy WR3 for 2026.
