But the main story for Metcalf is that he was an unreliable target for Aaron Rodgers. In contrast, Michael Pittman Jr caught all three of his targets for 58 yards. It's possible over the course of the season that Pittman becomes the main option for Rodgers over Metcalf, which would put DK's contract under extra scrutiny.

Metcalf's timing issues and drops with Rodgers raise concerns about his role.

Metcalf was an unreliable target for Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, with timing issues and crucial drops throughout the game. In the third quarter, Rodgers hit Metcalf over the middle right in the hands and the receiver was not able to bring it in, resulting in a resounding boo from the crowd. This contrasts sharply with Michael Pittman Jr, who caught all three of his targets for 58 yards, raising the possibility that Pittman becomes the main option for Rodgers over Metcalf as the season progresses.
