SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Denver Broncos

D.K. Metcalf hasn't been a superstar at the fantasy position for some years now, ranking as a mid-tier WR2 in each of his last two seasons in Half-PPR scoring. There is optimism that the Seahawks' new offense could return him to something like his best, but the season opener doesn't look like being one of his easier matches. The Broncos ranked 4th in aFPA to wide receivers last season. Metcalf should still be in your lineups, but probably wiser to expect a ceiling of high-end WR2 numbers.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

DK Metcalf put up his third season with at least 1,000 receiving yards in 2023, posting 1,114 yards on just 66 receptions. His 16.9 yards per reception was a career-high, but his catch rate of 55.5% was a new career low. He finished as the WR20 in half-PPR points per game in 2023. He hasn't been a WR1 since 2020.

Metcalf could benefit from the new offense in Seattle, with Ryan Grubb - the new OC - looking like something of a passing game enthusiast. Fantasy managers can probably live with a low catch rate if the yards per reception numbers, plus the touchdowns, keep going up. Metcalf projects to be a high-end WR2 in 2024.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

DK Metcalf has six touchdowns in his last six games after another score last week against the Titans. He gets the Steelers this week, who have been a little shaky in the secondary at times, so there’s a good chance Metcalf gets at least 50 yards for a fifth straight game. The offense as a whole does limit him a habit — Seattle still likes running the football and Geno Smith has been spreading the ball a little bit between Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njibga. Still, Metcalf’s talent makes him a weekly WR2/Flex candidate.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Tennessee Titans

DK Metcalf caught five passes for 78 yards last week against the Eagles, including a key 34-yard reception on the final drive. He now gets a Titans defense that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. Metcalf has failed to reach double-digit fantasy points in just two of his 13 games played this season. Good chance he makes it 12 out of 14 with at least ten fantasy points.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

DK Metcalf’s day was cut short last week after being ejected for his scuffle with 49ers linebacker Fred Warner. But before he left, he scored another touchdown, giving him five in the last four weeks. Good chance he gets another one Monday. Philadelphia has not been good against the pass lately and Metcalf has had success against Darius Slay and James Bradberry in the past. Metcalf remains a strong option for the fantasy playoffs.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at San Francisco 49ers

The Seahawks got into a shootout with the Cowboys and of course it was DK Metcalf giving the Seahawks a shot. Six catches, 134 yards, three touchdowns but the Seahawks fell short. Now they have to turn around and face the 49ers again for the second time in three weeks. Metcalf had just 32 yards on three catches on Thanksgiving as Geno Smith was banged up. Smith is certainly feeling better, so Metcalf should have better results this week. The Seahawks need Metcalf as they're now fighting for their playoff lives at 6-6.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Dallas Cowboys

With Geno Smith regressing and banged up against the 49ers, DK Metcalf’s production took a hit on Thanksgiving, catching just three passes for 32, his lowest yardage total in a game of the season. So while he’s playing on Thursday, it’s not a short week for the Seahawks. However, it is a tough matchup as Dallas has still been good against the pass, even without having Trevon Diggs. Regardless, Metcalf always can break one and his size and talent always provides weekly upside, even with a limited quarterback. Metcalf is still a WR2.
