DK Metcalf

Week 7 at Atlanta Falcons

D.K. Metcalf’s cold spell continued into Week 6, with a mere 6.3 Half-PPR points on his way to WR49 for the week. Metcalf has now dropped outside of the top 24 in points per game, sitting at WR26.

Metcalf might be able to bounce back this week with a clash against the Falcons, who have been middling opponents for wide receivers this season. The Falcons rank 17th in aFPA to wideouts, which should help Metcalf get back to high-end WR2/low-end WR1 airspace.

Week 5 vs. New York Giants/strong>

Week 4 was something of a disappointing week for D.K. Metcalf in fantasy terms. Metcalf cleared 100 yards receiving on seven catches, but without a trip to the endzone, he could only muster 11.9 Half PPR points, finishing as the WR29 for the week.

We can expect a bounceback in Week 5 against the Giants, who haven't exactly shut down the opposition wide receivers this season. The G Men rank 11th in aFPA to the position. Metcalf should return to WR1 airspace this week.

Week 3 vs Miami Dolphins
The D.K. Metcalf explosion game we’ve all been waiting for came in Week 2 against the Patriots. Benefiting from an increase in pass volume, Metcalf caught 10 of his 14 targets for 129 yards and a touchdown, giving him 23.9 Half PPR points and the WR2 spot for the week.

The Miami pass defense has been stingy toward wideouts so far in 2024, ranking 31st in receptions and 23rd in yards allowed. Still, if the Seahawks remain committed to the pass Metcalf should see enough work to keep him in the low-end WR1 / high-end WR2 mix.
