SEA WR DK Metcalf - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

One of the most puzzling events of the 2019 NFL Draft was DK Metcalf falling all the way to the end of the second round, landing in Seattle. Metcalf wasted no time getting accustomed to his new digs and showing why he was still one of the top receivers in the draft class. He finished with a line of 58/900/7 (100 targets) as a rookie. As he enters year two, his usage should continue to grow. As our John Paulsen notes: "Since the 2000 season, 19 of 26 receivers with 90-110 targets as rookies saw their targets per game increase the following season by an average of 14.6%, so Metcalf’s involvement should increase in his sophomore season."

Fantasy Downside

The drops stand to improve from his rookie season, as he had eight in 2019. Along with Lockett, Greg Olsen will probably eat somewhat into their targets, but Seattle is throwing the ball more, giving Metcalf enough shots (and opportunities to improve his drop rate).

2020 Bottom Line

The athletic freak is set to take the next step forward in his sophomore year and has already established himself as an excellent red-zone target. As his route-running improves and his drops settle down, Metcalf will continue to grow, but for now, he's the second fantasy receiver option in Seattle, behind Tyler Lockett. Even with that, Metcalf is still a solid, top-25 fantasy WR.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs San Francisco
DK Metcalf was held without a catch last week against Arizona. It was shocking to say the least as the Seahawks passing game struggled overall, and Metcalf has been a prime target all season.

He will face the Niners this week who are 15th in aFPA to wide receivers. We are expecting a defensive battle on Sunday night with the division on the line. Start Metcalf as a WR3 or flex for Week 17.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Arizona
DK Metcalf was pretty quiet last week although he did have a touchdown reception. Metcalf continues to be a threat each week and remains a threat for the Seahawks despite the last game where he had only two receptions.

Metcalf will face the Cardinals who are 17th in aFPA to wide receivers. We expect him to put up some numbers this week as he ranks a low-end WR2. Metcalf only had one catch the first meeting with Arizona but will have a better showing this time around.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Carolina
DK Metcalf is rising on the fantasy meter. He has had 12 receptions over the past two games and has emerged as QB Russell Wilson's best option in the passing game over the past month. Metcalf is probably the best rookie receiver in the NFL.

It's a great matchup this week as the Panthers are ranked 27th in aFPA to wide receivers. The only downside of Metcalf is that all of the Seahawks receivers are getting involved more so even though he is the highest rank WR for Week 15, that doesn't mean he is a true No. 1

Start Metcalf but as a high-end WR3 or flex for Week 15. The catches should keep coming and hope he makes more big yardage plays.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Minnesota
DK Metcalf had been on a roll, but was limited to 3 catches for 35 yards last week. The rookie had been putting up very good No. 2 numbers and even outplayed Tyler Lockett at times.

Metcalf has a great matchup for Week 13 against the Vikings who are 30th in aFPA to wide receivers. Start him as a high-end WR3 or flex against Minnesota.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Philadelphia
DK Metcalf has 12 receptions for 193 yards over the past two games. Even playing as the No. 2 receiver, Metcalf has caught on to the pro game as a rookie and opposing defenses are aware of what he is capable of.

Metcalf will face the Eagles who are 26th in aFPA to wide receivers. This should be a big opportunity for the Seattle passing game and Metcalf will be a beneficiary. He ranks a high-end WR3 or flex for Week 12, but if Tyler Lockett is struggling with an injury, Metcalf will be more of a WR2.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at San Francisco
DK Metcalf had his best game of his young career with six receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown. The Seattle passing game is clicking and Metcalf was involved heavily last Sunday. He now has three touchdowns over his last two games and the catch and yardage total were career-highs.

Metcalf will face the Niners who are fourth in aFPA to wide receivers. The matchup will be tough but we expect a decent showing by the Seattle passing game. Metcalf ranks a WR3 for Week 10. You are not going to get the numbers you got last week, but still enough to help your fantasy team.
