Metcalf and Boston face contrasting Week 4 fantasy cases

Yahoo Sports has compared Pittsburgh Steelers receiver DK Metcalf and Cleveland Browns rookie Denzel Boston as Week 4 fantasy start-or-sit options, ahead of the teams’ Thursday night meeting. The supplied report does not include its final recommendation.

Metcalf leads Pittsburgh with 24 targets through three games, but ranks WR42 in PPR formats. Against Cincinnati in Week 3, he caught three passes for 31 yards and a touchdown, his best fantasy outing of the season, according to Yahoo Sports.

Cleveland has allowed 224 passing yards per game, the 15th most in the NFL, the report says. Metcalf also had four catches for 95 yards and a touchdown on nine targets against the Browns in 2025.

Boston’s Week 3 return was more modest: two catches for 41 yards on four targets against Carolina. In the first two weeks combined, he recorded seven catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns.

Pittsburgh has allowed 192.7 passing yards per game, the eighth fewest, according to the report. Yahoo Sports notes that the last two opposing leading receivers it faced had productive fantasy outings, but the supplied article ends before completing its account of Cincinnati receiver Ja’Marr Chase or stating a verdict.
