Draft note

by John Paulsen

DK Metcalf turned in a WR15 season after finishing WR17 the year before. His targets declined from 8.3 per game in 2022 to 7.5 per game last year. New OC Ryan Grubb brings his efficient scheme from the University of Washington, so the offense should be better and perhaps more pass-happy. Geno Smith has solid deep-ball accuracy as well. Metcalf is shaping up to be a rock-solid fantasy WR2 (with low-end WR1 upside) yet again.

Latest news

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (leg) expects to play Week 1

Pro Football Talk

Sep 03 · 8:37 AM EDT

Tyler Lockett has missed more than two weeks with a leg injury, but the Seahawks receiver insists he will play in Sunday’s season opener.

“Unless you know something I don’t,” Lockett said.

Related players: DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Fantasy Impact:

Lockett, who was wearing a strap over his left knee Monday, did not play in the preseason and is unconcerned about his limited reps in training camp in a new offense. He called his absence precautionary, the story went on to say. Lockett is behind Metcalf, at least, on the Seahawks depth chart. The development of JSN will be something to watch this year as he could earn the targets to take over the WR2 role. We do rank JSN slightly ahead of Lockett on our WR list.

SEA WR DK Metcalf - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at New England Patriots

With the Seahawks only attempting 25 passes in Week 1, it was going to be a struggle for the receiving weapons in this offense to make much fantasy noise. This was certainly the case for D.K. Metcalf, who converted his four targets into three catches for 29 yards for 4.4 Half PPR points. Metcalf finished as the WR62 in that format.

A commitment to low passing volume will hurt Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, even in games where the matchup appears to suit them, like this one against the Patriots. The uncertainty around opportunity makes it hard to trust any of these pass catchers, and that's why Metcalf should only be projected to be a low-end WR2 this week.
