Metcalf’s poor production fuels debate over his fantasy and Steelers role
Several shows criticized Metcalf after a Steelers loss, with Pardon My Take citing 9 targets, 4 catches, and 27 yards while calling the offense pathetic.[1][2]
The Fantasy Footballers questioned whether Metcalf was playable, comparing his low target conversion to a receiver who could receive many targets but produce little yardage.[3][4]
Bill Simmons called Metcalf a mess after Christian Gonzalez defended him closely, arguing Pittsburgh’s offense had little running game and relied mainly on Metcalf and Pat Freiermuth.[5]
Other shows saw signs of improvement: Pardon My Take said he caught deep passes in a good game, while Bill Simmons noted catches totaling over 100 yards.[6][7]
Ross Tucker agreed the Steelers’ offense had been poor earlier, but later said Metcalf missed opportunities in a win that could have been even more explosive offensively.[8][9]
