Draft note

by John Paulsen

Metcalf had a disappointing sixth season, posting his lowest yardage (992) since 2021 and the fewest touchdowns (5) of his career. George Pickens has moved on, so Metcalf is the lone established threat at receiver. Under OC Arthur Smith, the Steelers attempted the fourth-fewest passes and threw for the sixth-fewest yards in 2024, though Aaron Rodgers may boost the team’s pass percentage a bit. Metcalf should see all the targets he can handle, though the precisness of his route-running may eventually irk Rodgers.

Latest news

Steelers trade WR George Pickens to Cowboys for trade compensation

Adam Schefter

May 07 · 9:17 AM EDT

Details of the Steelers-Cowboys trade expected to be completed today.

Steelers receive 2026 3rd-round pick and a 2027 5th-round pick.

Cowboys receive WR George Pickens and a 2027 6th-round pick.

Fantasy Impact:

With the relative lack of impactful Draft compensation, it's a wonder this didn't get done prior to or during the 2025 NFL Draft, but Pickens is on the move regardless.

For the Steelers, this makes Roman Wilson a little more intriguing as he heads into Year 2, and Freiermuth should see a little bump closer to high-end TE2 consideration.

For the Cowboys, this slightly lowers CeeDee Lamb's potentially astronomical target share, but gives QB Dak Prescott a much more reliable No. 2 option in what was already projected as a pass-heavy offense with Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders making up their backfield. Pickens is now more of a high-end WR3 than a fringe WR4.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Chicago Bears

D.K. Metcalf managed 13.2 Half-PPR points against the Vikings, his biggest fantasy haul since he managed 17.9 in Week 7. He has ceded control of the Seahawks' passing attack to Jaxon Smith-Njigba this season, and that has seriously eroded his fantasy appeal. He's a high-end WR3 option this week against the Bears who rank 14th in aFPA to wide receivers this season.
