DK Metcalf

New England’s defense has been giving up big games to wide receivers and their top cornerback is likely hurt, so start Metcalf this week. The only real worry is that the cornerback plays or they don’t throw much, but he’s the safer pick right now.

Start him — he showed a strong connection with Rodgers and often makes big plays, so he's worth starting. But check pregame reports and bench him if Seattle plans to shadow him or he looks like he'll get five or fewer passes.

Ahmad Gardner will likely shadow Metcalf and usually shuts down outside receivers, and with the Steelers likely to run a lot and the game expected to be low-scoring, Metcalf is a risky start in Week 1. If you have someone else you can start, sit him; if he’s your only option, only start him if you must and watch for any game-day news on Rodgers.

Draft him in the middle rounds. He should be Pittsburgh’s main receiver with Aaron Rodgers, so he usually scores steady points and can still have big games, but he's older, has had injuries, and the coach’s style might cut into his catches.
