DK Metcalf's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) will not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. The 26-year-old suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Metcalf was originally deemed week-to-week but could still suit up this weekend. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report, as Metcalf will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend. Metcalf has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign and has scored at least 17.0 PPR points in four out of the seven games he has played. If he is able to suit up this weekend, he should be started in all formats as a high-end WR2. If he cannot play, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba should see an increase in targets.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in the Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday and is now being considered "week-to-week," according to a source. Metcalf left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter and was seen trying to test his knee out on the sideline before eventually shutting it down and heading to the locker room with a trainer. The 26-year-old did some damage for his fantasy managers before leaving, though, catching four passes for 99 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. If Metcalf is unable to play in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, hopefully he'll be ready for a Week 9 tilt against the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle has a bye in Week 10. If Metcalf misses any time, both Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett would immediately become much more attractive in starting fantasy lineups.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) caught four of seven targets for 99 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. Metcalf was on his way to another monster game if he had not gone down with a knee injury in the second half. He was carted to the locker room which left a shred of doubt in the mind of fantasy managers. However, it sounds like the injury may not have been serious. Head coach Mike Macdonald stated after the game that "It doesn't look too bad". That is great news for fantasy managers who have been relying on Metcalf this season. He has been an excellent fantasy asset in 2024 and has been having arguably his best season since his sophomore season when he recorded 1,303 receiving yards and ten touchdowns. If Metcalf suffered a simple injury, then he should be deployed once again in Week 8. However, this situation is one to monitor as Metcalf will likely have a cap on his reps in practice throughout this upcoming week.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) exited Sunday's matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. He was carted to the locker room, so things didn't look promising. However, head coach Mike Macdonald downplayed the condition, stating the wideout "banged his knee a little bit," adding, "it doesn't look too bad." Metcalf will likely need more tests to determine the severity of the injury. He might also miss some practices heading into the Week 8 clash with the Buffalo Bills. If Metcalf can't go for that one, it will likely mean more attention for Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons and is officially questionable to return. He had been productive prior to his departure, catching four of seven targets for 99 yards and one touchdown. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett should operate as the Seahawks' top two receivers for the duration of Metcalf's absence.
