Sit: PIT WR D.K. Metcalf vs. BAL CB Nate Wiggins
The Steelers’ struggles on offense, plus QB Aaron Rodgers’ injury, contribute to Metcalf being on the hate list this week. Metcalf has not scored a touchdown or gone over 50 yards receiving since the end of October. The Ravens defense has greatly improved as the season has gone on. They are mostly healthy, but Nate Wiggins is considered day-to-day. Despite that, Baltimore’s defense is playing like the Baltimore defense that we know and love.
Sit: WSH WR Deebo Samuel vs. MIN CB Isaiah Rodgers
Terry McLaurin returned for the Commanders last week, and he saw 14 targets compared to Samuel’s seven targets. That is still a healthy amount of looks, but make no mistake that McLaurin has returned to his WR1 spot on the team. The other factor here is that Minnesota has a top-five pass defense that largely goes unnoticed because of their offensive struggles. The Vikings are allowing just 178 pass yards a game this season. I would be cautious putting Samuel in my lineup this week.
