AutoDraft Pro AI

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf drew heavy fan and media scrutiny following a mistake-filled Week 1 performance in a 20-13 win over Atlanta. Metcalf caught 4 of 10 targets for 40 yards, but was plagued by crucial drops and flagged twice for offensive pass interference. Earning $33 million a year, his skill set appeared misaligned with Aaron Rodgers and two-high safety shells, raising questions about his long-term offensive fit.
