Pittman arrival limits Metcalf to deep threat role; WR38 ADP too high for low-volume outlook.
DK MetcalfWRPIT
Metcalf posted career lows last season with 59 catches and 850 yards. In Weeks 1-8, he averaged 14.7 PPR points, but defenses increased bracket coverage in the final eight games, dropping him to 10.5 PPR points. The addition of Michael Pittman to take possession targets will further limit Metcalf's role to intermediate and deep threats in a low-aggression passing attack. Jim Coventry expects too many low-volume games to justify WR38 ADP.

Metcalf is coming off the worst season of his seven-year career, posting career lows with 59 catches and 850 yards...Weeks 1-8 last season, Metcalf averaged 14.7 PPR points. After that, defenses used more bracket coverage on him. In the next eight games, his production fell to 10.5 PPR points. With Michael Pittman now on the team to take possession targets, Metcalf is in line to lose significant targets...Even at WR38, I expect too many low-volume games to draft at that cost.
