DK Metcalf very busy in Week 6 OT win

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf caught 11 of 15 targets for 93 yards in a Week 6 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Why It Matters: Metcalf tied his career high in targets – three more than any other game since he became a Steeler before the start of last season – and his 11 receptions were his most in his two years with the team. Hopefully, this will be a new start to his 2026 campaign. He had been held to 40 yards or less in four of his first five games with one touchdown. Until his volume becomes more consistent, Metcalf remains a WR3 option, albeit a high-upside one in Week 7 against a questionable New Orleans secondary.
