Metcalf's WR27 finish faces headwinds from Steelers' WR additions and McCarthy's scheme.
DK MetcalfWR
Metcalf was highly inconsistent in a slow and balanced Aaron Rodgers offense last year, ultimately finishing as the WR27 on WR34 expected half PPR points and WR32 targets. Things only look trickier in 2026 after Rodgers re-signed as a 42-year-old and the Steelers added Michael Pittman and 2nd-rounder Germie Bernard to the WR room. Metcalf only had a 15% target share with 3+ WRs on the field last year, versus a 25% target share as the lone WR. The Steelers should be in more WR-heavy looks this year based on their personnel and the history of coach Mike McCarthy.
