| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | DK Metcalf's first season in Pittsburgh largely reinforced what fantasy managers have seen over the last several years — good, not great, fantasy consistency (WR26 overall and WR24 in PPG). The Steelers receiver once again finished outside the top tier at the position, and now faces even more target competition in a new-look offense entering 2026. His role has increasingly trended toward volatile WR3 territory rather than true fantasy alpha production. With Aaron Rodgers at quarterback and additional mouths to feed, his ceiling appears lower than his reputation might suggest. | Josh Downs is good. PFF's 20th-highest graded WR in 2025. And for the second straight year...the Colts slot WR was hyper-targeted at a 24% clip. That led all Colts WRs and TEs in 2025. And he creates separation. Per Fantasy Points Data...Downs ranked 20th in average separation score. Downs has been limited because of a lack of high-end route participation, but a late-season route bump could suggest more of Downs in a full-time role in 2026....after the team traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers. |
