Should You Start or Sit DK Metcalf in Week 4?
I’m thrilled that DK Metcalf got his first deep target of the season on Sunday, but I’m still shaky on his long-term projection in this offense.
It’s clear that Aaron Rodgers trusts him, but it’s not clear that Rodgers has a ton of great football left in the tank.
The tandem connected on a 12-yard fade early in the second quarter last week, and that’s the sort of thing that breathes life into Metcalf’s stock, but I think you’re walking an awfully fine line in this low-octane offense.
Metcalf doesn’t have a top 25 finish on his 2022 resume, and if I had to project it forward, I’d say he has more weeks like that than ones where you’re glad you played him.
Among the healthy players, Metcalf is the one I’m most rooting for to have a big game this week so that I can get out of this business at a reasonable price.
