Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (ankle) is off the injury report and ready to go for a Week 13 showdown with the Buffalo Bills. Although Metcalf found the end zone last week, he hasn't topped 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 8 and has become increasingly unreliable for fantasy purposes. The Bills have been strong against the pass, surrendering the 10th-fewest receptions and the 10th-fewest receiving yards to opposing wideouts this season. Even with quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) in line to start, Metcalf cannot be projected for a ceiling outcome in this matchup. Fantasy managers can still deploy him as a high-end WR3 or flex option, but expectations for Metcalf should be tempered.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (ankle) will play this week against the Bills after an ankle injury caused him to miss Wednesday's practice. He returned to full participation by Thursday, and according to head coach Mike Tomlin, he will carry no injury designation into an AFC clash with notable playoff implications. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) has also been cleared to play on Sunday, a week after Mason Rudolph was forced into a start against the Bears in which he threw for fewer than 175 yards on 5.5 yards per attempt. The connection between Rodgers and his top wide receiver has looked hit or miss throughout the year, but against an ailing Buffalo defense that has allowed 30+ points in two of its last three contests, Metcalf remains a viable WR2/Flex play and is RotoBaller's WR21 in a week with no teams on bye.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice session, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Metcalf missed Wednesday's practice after suffering an ankle injury during Pittsburgh's Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, but the 27-year-old wideout's workload was expected to be managed early in the week. The former Seattle Seahawk looks to have avoided a serious injury that would force him to miss any time and should be expected to suit up on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Metcalf has had underwhelming production recently, failing to surpass 50 yards in each of his past four games. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR27 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice session, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that Metcalf will be limited in practice early in the week, but he opens this week as a non-participant. The 27-year-old injured his ankle during Pittsburgh's Week 12 loss at the Chicago Bears, but was able to return to the game and finished with five receptions for 22 yards on eight targets. The former Seattle Seahawk has had a decent season in his first season with the Steelers, totaling 42 receptions (70 targets) for 573 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games, ranking as the WR24 in PPR points per game (12.4). Metcalf's status for Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills will be updated as the week goes along.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) is among several players who will be limited during practice early in the week, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports. Metcalf limped off the field after injuring his ankle during Pittsburgh's Week 12 loss to the Bears, but was ultimately able to return and finish the game. The 27-year-old seems to have avoided a significant injury, but his status will be managed in practice early this week before ramping up his workload. Metcald posted five catches for 22 yards on eight targets with Mason Rudolph filling in for an injured Aaron Rodgers (wrist); however, Rodgers should be back in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Metcalf is expected to suit up on Sunday, with further updates on his status expected in the coming days.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) has returned to his team's Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears after briefly exiting the game due to an ankle injury. Metcalf limped off the field and was checked out in the medical tent, but was ultimately cleared to return to the field. Metcalf may not be at 100% for the remainder of Week 12, but Steelers fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief that he avoided a major injury. Now that he's back in the lineup, the 27-year-old should continue to be the top target for Steelers backup quarterback Mason Rudolph in Week 12 against Chicago. Metcalf scored a touchdown in the first half before tweaking his ankle.

The Pittsburgh Steelers said that wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. The first-year Steeler limped off the field during the second quarter and is now up in the air to come back. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Metcalf looked to be breaking his recent slump before the injury. At the time of Metcalf's exit, he had caught two of three targets for nine yards, and also rushed twice for 12 yards and a touchdown. Pittsburgh leans heavily on tight ends and running backs in the passing game, but will turn to receivers Calvin Austin III and Ben Skowronek if Metcalf can't return.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf hasn't reached double-digit fantasy points since Week 8, but he's positioned to rebound against the Chicago Bears in Week 12. The Bears have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and second-most touchdowns to opposing wideouts this season. While Chicago's secondary is getting healthier, Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable and may not be ready to return. Regardless, Chicago's offense should find success at home, so Metcalf's involvement will be important as Pittsburgh aims to keep pace. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is questionable to suit up, but backup Mason Rudolph looked sharp last week and targeted Metcalf on five of his 16 pass attempts. As the WR22 in RotoBaller's Week 12 rankings, Metcalf can be viewed as a low-end WR2 with upside heading into Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf turned in yet another disappointing performance in Week 11, securing five of eight targets for 49 yards in a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) exited the contest at halftime and is currently considered questionable to play in Week 12 with a fractured left wrist. If Rodgers can't go, Metcalf will be catching passes from Mason Rudolph, who hasn't started a game since Week 17 of last season. Regardless of who is under center, it is becoming increasingly difficult to trust Metcalf, as he has scored fewer than 10 fantasy points in three straight games. On the bright side, Pittsburgh will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bears have surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts, keeping Metcalf in play as a boom-or-bust WR2.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has been incredibly quiet over the past two weeks, but he'll look to get back on track against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Cincinnati has been middle-of-the-pack against fantasy wideouts overall, though they've been notably tough on opposing WR1s lately. Still, it is difficult to overlook the potential for a shootout, as this contest carries one of the highest projected point totals of the week. While Pittsburgh's tight ends are likely to get involved, Metcalf remains the clear top target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and should see frequent usage on Sunday, especially if both offenses are trading scores. There is plenty of risk associated with starting Metcalf, but he offers a strong amount of upside as a low-end fantasy WR2 against the Bengals.

From RotoBaller

Over the past two weeks combined, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has scored just 6.6 half-PPR fantasy points. While there are reasons to be optimistic about the Steelers' offense against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, this matchup doesn't project to be a great one for Metcalf specifically. Cincinnati has surrendered six receiving touchdowns to opposing wideouts, and only one of them went to a clear WR1. In Metcalf's Week 7 meeting with the Bengals, he managed just three receptions for 50 yards. Because Metcalf has not exceeded five receptions in any contest this season, fantasy managers can't rely on volume when deciding whether to start him. The 27-year-old will probably need to hit pay dirt to provide value as a low-end WR2 or flex option this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf is coming off his worst showing of the season and will hope to bounce back against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Unfortunately for Metcalf, Los Angeles has been stingy against the pass, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts and the third-fewest passing yards per game. On the positive side, Metcalf has been heavily involved in scoring situations, earning over 60% of Pittsburgh's red-zone targets this year. Assuming this contest remains competitive throughout, quarterback Aaron Rodgers should look his way early and often, especially near the goal line. While Metcalf's weekly reliability has dipped, his upside keeps him in play as a low-end WR2 or strong flex option.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf logged just two receptions for six yards on four targets in a 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. On paper, everything was set up for Metcalf to deliver on Sunday, but he instead turned in his worst performance of the season. He took a backseat to Calvin Austin III, Darnell Washington, and Pat Freiermuth, failing to receive a single opportunity in the second half. If there's any silver lining, it's that Metcalf was targeted by Aaron Rodgers twice inside the five-yard line. Better days are certainly ahead for the seventh-year pro, and Pittsburgh still clearly views him as its WR1 after standing pat at receiver through the NFL trade deadline. That said, expectations should be tempered for Metcalf against a tough Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 10.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf finished as the WR12 last week and will look to build on that performance in a Week 9 home bout with the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have been strong against the run but vulnerable through the air, giving up the most receptions and third-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. While Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, and Pittsburgh's tight ends have all shown flashes, Metcalf has consistently been the favorite target of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, especially on deep shots. Sunday's contest carries a high projected point total and should feature plenty of fantasy production. That said, Metcalf should remain locked into lineups as a high-end WR2 with significant upside.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf hauled in five of his seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in a 35-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Metcalf's score, his fifth of the season, came late in the first half on a two-yard pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He's been a reliable red-zone weapon all year, converting six targets into six catches and three touchdowns inside the 20. While this has boosted his fantasy value, Metcalf's reception totals have been a bit underwhelming for a WR1. He hasn't caught more than five passes in any contest and is averaging fewer than four receptions per game. Still, Metcalf's 17.1 yards per catch rank fifth in the NFL. He should remain efficient and have a good chance of finding the end zone again in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf had a disappointing outing in Week 7 but is poised to bounce back against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. The Packers have been strong against the run and average against the pass, setting up a favorable game script for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his weapons. Even with fellow wideout Calvin Austin III (shoulder) returning to the lineup, Metcalf remains the focal point of Pittsburgh's passing attack. He leads the Steelers in all major receiving categories and is tied for the team lead in red zone targets. With this contest projected to feature plenty of scoring, Metcalf profiles as a high-end WR2 and a must-start fantasy option in most formats.
