DK Metcalf

DK Metcalf joins the Steelers as their new No. 1 WR after finishing 2024 as the WR32 (WR33 per game) with 992 yards and a career-low 5 TDs in 15 games. However, before a knee injury in Week 7, Metcalf was off to a scorching start - ranking top-5 in targets, yards, and air yards. Now in Pittsburgh's run-heavy Arthur Smith offense, target share won't be an issue, but overall passing volume/efficiency may be. Even with Aaron Rodgers at QB, this offense will have a low pass rate. Metcalf's fantasy ceiling hinges on red-zone usage and big plays. The opportunity is there, but his 2025 value depends entirely on the Steelers' offensive competency with the 41-year-old QB under center.

DK Metcalf was not present at Steelers OTAs on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

It doesn't appear to be a huge concern. Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth said Metcalf has been around frequently during the early offseason phases. Metcalf was traded from the Seahawks to the Steelers this offseason.
