DK Metcalf Week 5 Outlook - Colts at Steelers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 8th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

DK Metcalf has had a predictably rough start to the season as the WR35 in fantasy points per game. He has rebounded somewhat over the last two games with at least 12.1 PPR points in each week. Metcalf has a 21.3% target share with 1.33 YPRR, one red zone target, ten deep targets, and a 29.6% first-read share. Metcalf has had some tough corner assignments to begin the season, but he has been woefully inefficient with his targets. We'll see if that changes this week against an Indy pass defense that has held perimeter wide receivers to the ninth-fewest yards per target and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity. I'm not hopeful for Metcalf this week.
