The main duo combined for 23 targets last week against the Browns, and we should expect more usage like that in Week 9, despite the continued ascension of rookie underneath option, Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf did not play in Sunday’s victory over the Cardinals and there’s no guarantee he’ll be back for the Week 8 matchup with Cleveland.

Head coach Pete Carroll said during his weekly interview with Seattle Sports radio that the team will “see how it goes” with Metcalf during the week.

Metcalf is dealing with injuries to his hips and ribs. He was a limited participant in last Friday’s practice and was questionable for the game, the story said. If he's unable to go in Week 8, Bobo and Smith-Njigba would see a bump in fantasy value. Bobo played ahead of JSN in two-receiver sets and led the team in routes run in Week 7.

Seahawks’ head coach Pete Carroll said he expects rookie first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who underwent wrist surgery last month, to play Sunday’s opener vs. the Rams.

As it stands, the Seahawks arguably have the best 3-WR set in the NFL when they are all healthy. Smith-Njigba can be considered a Flex option in Week 1, while Geno Smith is set up for another great season.

Seahawks’ first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba is undergoing wrist surgery today in Philadelphia, but still could have a chance to be ready for the start of the regular season, per sources.

Schefter added that JSN broke a bone in his wrist on the play in which he almost scored Saturday night. Surgery will determine how long he will miss. Reading into it a bit, even if JSN misses games, it seems safe to conclude it may just be a couple of weeks to start the season. Metcalf and Lockett will remain the top-two targets but Eskridge, Bobo and Young are next up behind Smith-Njigba should he not be available. We'll continue to monitor his timeline.

They (the Seahawks) wanted a slot receiver who understood zone coverage and how to feel underneath defenders and make himself available to the quarterback. They needed someone who was more quick than fast, but at the same time, crafty and explosive with the ball in his hands. Against man coverage, their preferred receiver needed to be proficient at the line of scrimmage and have a wide catch radius.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the perfect fit for Seattle’s offense.

The article mentions that the Seahawks ran a below-average amount of 11 personnel (53% of their plays), yet it was the team's most popular player grouping. The drafting of JSN should give a clue as to how they will prefer to run their offense this coming season, and all three receivers should have their moments, barring injuries.

If Metcalf and Lockett cut their prerequisite 100+ target seasons, it's difficult to see how Smith-Njigba has a ceiling outcome 2023 season. All three options are top-50 WRs in our current rankings, with Metcalf leading the way as the WR15.

Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett hopes to return after missing one game to have surgery on a broken finger and his bid got off to a positive start on Wednesday.

Head coach Pete Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, that Lockett “did everything” at the team’s walkthrough practice.

The story went on to say Carroll said that there’s been no decision about playing Lockett against the Jets, but said that the wideout “was excellent” during Wednesday’s workout and that he was catching passes without pain.

Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett underwent surgery on his hand Monday, coach Pete Carroll announced. Lockett could return as soon as Week 17.

Lockett broke his finger in last Thursday’s loss to the 49ers. He has 78 receptions for 964 yards and eight touchdowns this season. With Lockett out, Metcalf should be the top target with Goodwin likely stepping into the WR2 role and he may be worth a look if he's still on your wire.

Wide receiver Tyler Lockett suffered a broken finger against the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll announced after the game, and there is uncertainty as to whether he'll be able to play again this season. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Lockett suffered a spiral crack in his first metacarpal, an injury that will force him out for at least two games and indeed threatens the rest of his season, per a source.

It seems very unlikely that we will see Lockett again this season unless the Seahawks find their way into a playoff spot. One would assume that Marquise Goodwin will see more time on the field, but there is no 1v1 replacement for Lockett on the team, which could mean a target share increase for DK Metcalf.

DK Metcalf (hip) is good to play Sunday, Pete says. Same with Geno Smith. Both are good to go.

With both Metcalf and Lockett at full health, the narrow target tree should run through the two of them as normal. Each are WR2s with WR1 ceilings in Week 14.

Great news from Pete Carroll, who tells us DK Metcalf will not need surgery. He has a patellar tendon issue.

There's still no timeline, though other reports say that Carroll is pessimistic about Metcalf returning to practice this week, so it may be a week-to-week issue. D'Wayne Eskridge saw an uptick in snaps after Metcalf's departure but didn't receive a target in Week 7.
