Yahoo Sports NFL on DK Metcalf

Metcalf ranked 38th WR; elite athleticism but productivity declined; needs QB upgrade.

Ranked 38th among NFL receivers by Bleacher Report's film-based methodology; graded 74 overall in the reliable contributor tier. Metcalf is described as one of the most physically imposing receivers in the league with explosiveness and dangerous after-the-catch ability; his speed, acceleration, and strength allow him to run past or through defenders. However, his productivity has tapered off over the last two seasons, and he is part of an offense that averaged under 200 passing yards per game. Metcalf remains capable of taking over games with above-average quarterback play, though his route running (14/20) and football IQ (15/20) are relative weaknesses.
