Fantasy analysts urge caution with DK Metcalf for Week 1

Fantasy football analysts are advising owners to exercise caution regarding DK Metcalf heading into the season opener. Metcalf is currently ranked 34th among wide receivers following a season that saw him record career lows in yardage. While the upcoming matchup against the Falcons presents potential for high point totals based on the defensive stats allowed to opposing receivers last season, uncertainty remains regarding Metcalf’s usage. His average depth of target dropped significantly during his first season with the Steelers, and it is unclear how the addition of Michael Pittman will impact his role. Analysts are holding off on starting Metcalf until they see how the offense functions with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback this weekend. Whether Metcalf returns to his previous form remains a question as the team establishes its new offensive hierarchy.
