Pro Football Focus ranked Metcalf at #26 among NFL wide receivers entering 2026 after his first season with Pittsburgh yielded 850 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. Despite posting a career-low 11.3-yard average depth of target due to Aaron Rodgers' conservative tendencies, Metcalf's 1.83 yards per route run ranked among the top 30 qualified receivers. The additions of Michael Pittman Jr. and rookie Germie Bernard should alleviate pressure on Metcalf to carry the passing game, and another offseason with Rodgers plus Mike McCarthy's traditionally pass-heavy offense with multiple receivers on the field should improve his outlook for 2026.
