DK Metcalf's 2025 transition to the Pittsburgh Steelers sets the stage for a potential WR1 breakout. With 1.24 end zone targets per game (WR2) and a 50.92% contested catch rate (WR6), Metcalf's red zone prowess is undeniable. His role as the Steelers' primary receiver is bolstered by Aaron Rodgers' arrival, promising enhanced target quality and volume, projected at 8–10 targets per game. Despite a WR50 projected PPR finish at 139.04 points, Metcalf's 36.87% air yards share (WR8) and durability (17 games, WR1) suggest room for outperformance. The Steelers' revamped offensive scheme and Metcalf's lucrative contract signal a commitment to his dominance, aligning with his physical skill set.
