The NFL is suspending Steelers WR DK Metcalf two games for "initiating a physical confrontation with a fan" amid Sunday's win over the Lions. Metcalf is appealing the suspension, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
League statement: "Metcalf's actions violate league policy, which specifies that 'players may not enter the stands or otherwise confront fans at any time on game day and ... if a player makes unnecessary physical contact with a fan in any way that constitutes unsportsmanlike conduct or presents crowd-control issues and/or risk of injury, he will be held accountable."
It seems unlikely that this suspension will get overturned. And even if the appeal manages to shorten the ban by a game, Metcalf would still miss Week 17.
His absence would make it tough to trust any Steelers WR in a fantasy lineup. Metcalf was the only member of the corps to play more than 43% of Sunday's snaps.
He stayed on the field for 88%, followed by:
The previous game looked similar, though with Thielen and MVS a bit closer to the leader:
Expect Thielen to land highest among Pittsburgh wideouts in our Week 17 rankings. But no member of the corps looks especially attractive for Sunday against the Browns.
Expect a RB-heavy approach.
