Seahawks still hoping WR DK Metcalf (knee) can go Week 1

Aug 27, 2019

Pete Carroll said DK Metcalf is "moving around this week" with hopes of a quick return. Too soon to know what that means for Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

Metcalf had a minor scope on his knee about a week ago but seems to have a shot to play in Week 1. There isn't really a sure thing behind Lockett at this point, so if Metcalf plays he still comes with risks but could certainly see some targets. Moore has a broken arm and also is a big question for Week 1, leaving Brown and Ursua up next.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
