26-Year-Old SafetyS
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.

Metellus recorded seven tackles and two QB hits in Sunday's 27-24 victory against Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Metellus finished third on Minnesota in tackles in the contest, and he has now registered at least seven stops in five straight games. Prior to that surge, the veteran safety had posted seven tackles just three times across his first 10 contests of the campaign. Metellus needs five more tackles over the Vikings' final two regular-season games to reach the triple-digit mark for the second straight year.
