Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football thing for a while now, and this week I’m facing a real head-scratcher. The big question on my mind: Should I start DK Metcalf this week?
First off, I started digging into what the so-called “experts” are saying. I mean, there are like a hundred of these fantasy football gurus out there, right? So, I started reading through their advice. Some say Metcalf is a must-start, others are kinda wishy-washy. This one site was all like, “Get instant advice on your decision,” so I checked it out. They had all these stats and stuff, but honestly, it didn’t make my choice any clearer.
Then, I got into the nitty-gritty of Metcalf’s performance lately. I saw someone online mention that he’s become an “oversized possession receiver.” What’s that even mean? Apparently, his average depth of target (aDOT) is super low, which isn’t great for a guy with his skills. I mean, the dude is a beast, but it seems like he’s not getting those deep throws. He’s got a decent target share, like 22.8%, but zero deep targets – that’s a bummer.
Delving into the Details
Next, I started comparing him to other players. There’s this one recommendation to start Mike Evans over Metcalf. I looked up Evans, and yeah, he’s doing pretty well with the Buccaneers. So, that got me thinking, maybe Metcalf isn’t the best option this week. But then, I found another expert who was all about starting Metcalf over guys like Tyreek Hill and, again, Mike Evans. This expert was hyping up Metcalf’s volume, saying it’s been the most consistent. Man, this is tough!
I also tried to find out how Metcalf did last week, but no luck. I did, however, find out that Michael Pittman Jr. had a great week – over 100 yards and a touchdown. I even watched some of his plays, and he was amazing. Wish I had him on my team this week!
- Checked expert opinions – mixed signals.
- Looked at Metcalf’s recent performance – not getting deep throws.
- Compared him to other players – Mike Evans seems like a good alternative.
- Tried to find last week’s stats – no dice.
- Checked out the competition like Singletary – they seem pretty healthy and ready.
- Started wondering if Madden 21 ratings matter – apparently not.
Making the Call
After all this back and forth, I’m still on the fence. It’s a tough call, but I think I might just bench Metcalf this week. I mean, there are other solid options out there, and it seems like Metcalf’s role has changed a bit. But who knows, maybe he’ll have a breakout game and prove me wrong. That’s the fun of fantasy football, right? You never really know what’s gonna happen!
