2024 Fantasy Outlook
Metellus had established himself as a special teams ace throughout much of his rookie contract, but the arrival of defensive coordinator Brian Flores helped him reach new heights in his fourth season as a pro. He was used all over the field, playing significant snaps along the defensive line, inside the box, and as a slot corner. That gave him a unique ability to be on the hunt for big plays and contribute stats across the board, and he did just that by picking up 2.5 sacks, picking off a pass and forcing four fumbles. With Flores back with the team for a second season, Metellus should keep his role as a do-it-all defender that will bring plenty of fantasy production - even if it comes in an unconventional way.
