Week 10 outlook
@ CIN ·No injury report yet
DK Metcalf is a low-end WR2 this week. We expect 8 targets, 4 receptions and 56 receiving yards. The points keep dropping: 20, then 8, then 1. In Week 8 was a repeat for Metcalf, with 6 touches after 6. His usage is down, about 6 targets a game over the last two after 9, but that is still a starter's share, so the call holds. He should be in your lineup this week.
