AutoDraft Pro AI

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf returned from a two-game suspension, catching two of five targets for 42 yards in Monday's 30-6 wild-card loss to the Texans. His 42 receiving yards were a team-high. This marked a quiet end to his debut season in Pittsburgh, where he finished with 59 receptions for 850 yards and six touchdowns on 99 targets across 15 games. Metcalf is expected to remain the Steelers' No. 1 receiver in 2026, likely with a new quarterback.
