Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf caught three of his four targets for 12 yards and added an 11-yard run in Week 5 versus the Indianapolis Colts.
Why It Matters: It was every bit as bad as it looks. Two of Metcalf's three catches came on screens, which is a byproduct of Aaron Rodgers' unwillingness to throw downfield much anymore. Metcalf is still theoretically a WR3 for fantasy purposes (if only because he has a ton of upside), but he has managed no more than 40 yards receiving in four of the team's five games in 2026. He needs to remain in most lineups with four teams on bye in Week 6, but he'll likely need a touchdown against the Buccaneers to be a viable fantasy starter.
