DK Metcalf, now in his second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers after a trade from Seattle, has recorded just one receiving touchdown through six games in 2026 despite 52 targets and a season-high 15 looks in Week 6 against Tampa Bay. Paired with 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers in an offense that mixes heavy check-downs with occasional deep shots, Metcalf has posted 30 receptions for 318 yards while facing competition for targets from additions like Michael Pittman. The Steelers sit at 4-2, with Metcalf cleared of a recent illness and set for a Week 7 matchup against New Orleans. His typical red-zone role and boundary size remain assets, though the current pace and Rodgers' usage patterns shape expectations for his full-season total.
