DK Metcalf is due for a big game. And he’s going to get it in Week 7 at Atlanta. He’s one of my favorite DFS plays for this scoring period.
In his past two games against the Giants and 49ers, Metcalf has combined for just seven catches for 103 yards and no touchdowns on 18 targets. He hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 3 at Miami, although he’s had some almost-scores and penalties that have ruined touchdowns.
But this week, he’s going to have a huge game. That’s because No. 1 receivers have thrived against the Falcons.
Four No. 1 receivers have scored touchdowns against Atlanta — DeVonta Smith (with A.J. Brown out) in Week 2, Rashee Rice in Week 3, Mike Evans (two) in Week 4, and Diontae Johnson in Week 5 — and five No. 1 receivers have at least six catches for 76 yards in the same game (George Pickens in Week 1, Smith, Rice, Chris Olave in Week 4 and Johnson). Metcalf will be next.
He’s $6,800 on DraftKings and $8,100 on FanDuel, and he should be worth the price. I’m excited to see what Metcalf can do against this Falcons defense.
