Steve Smith Sr. evaluates DK Metcalf & Aaron Rodgers' early struggles! 🏈 Wondering what to do with DK Metcalf in your fantasy football lineups after a sluggish two weeks? Steve Smith Sr. and James Palmer evaluate the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive slump, Aaron Rodgers' protection issues, and why Metcalf has struggled to find his groove in Mike McCarthy’s system. Steve dives into the "Two P's"—offensive line penetration and pass protection—explaining how quick pressure up front completely disrupts timing on the perimeter. Agent 89 breaks down why moving DK Metcalf into the slot requires a completely different pacing and finesse compared to winning on the boundary, why relying on body catches over pure hand technique is leading to costly drops, and how missing Michael Pittman Jr. shrinks this passing attack.
