The Pittsburgh Steelers made a big change at wide receiver in the offseason, with the team bringing in DK Metcalf as their new No. 1 before trading away George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys.

While Metcalf isn't putting up big numbers by any stretch, he did have a solid first half of the season for Pittsburgh and clearly has a strong connection with Aaron Rodgers.

However, Metcalf is not off to a good start in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is DK Metcalf playing tonight?

UPDATE: Metcalf is on the board with his first catch on the Steelers' fourth drive of the game. It went for 19 yards.

UPDATE: Metcalf got his first target on the Steelers' second drive on a deep ball from Rodgers, but the pass had too much mustard on it and it went over Metcalf's head.

Yes, Metcalf is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't been targeted yet.

Metcalf didn't really have a chance to get going on the Steelers' first drive, as Pittsburgh went three-and-out.

Hopefully the second drive yields better results.
