Minnesota Vikings
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.

December 9, 2024
Metellus finished Sunday's 42-21 win over Atlanta with seven tackles (five solo) and one interception.
ANALYSIS
Metellus was responsible for one of the Vikings' two interceptions off former teammate Kirk Cousins on Sunday, snatching a pass intended for Drake London on the third play of the second quarter. Metellus has logged at least seven tackles in three straight games and co-led the Vikings in that category with Blake Cashman and Camryn Bynum on Sunday. Through 13 regular-season games, Metellus has logged 78 tackles (47 solo) and four pass defenses (including a career-best two interceptions).
