DK Metcalf, WR (PIT)

Sees 12 targets in loss

Metcalf (foot/back) had six receptions (12 targets) for 52 yards in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams.

With fellow starting wideout Tyler Lockett (illness) out of action, Metcalf drew the attention of shutdown corner Jalen Ramsey for the majority of the contest. Netting 52 yards on a 50 percent catch rate isn't a horrible result when factoring in the tough matchup, but it also doesn't stand out from a recent string of poor performances either. After a strong start to the season, the 23-year-old has failed to either top 60 yards or score a touchdown since Seattle's Week 9 bye. Metcalf will get another attempt to deliver on at least one of those modest goals in a Week 16 matchup against the Bears on Sunday.
