D.K. Metcalf Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (toe) is not listed on the final Week 12 injury report. He missed Tuesday's practice but was a full-go on Wednesday. There's no reason to believe that the toe will be a significant factor in Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (elbow) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers. He was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, though, and HC Pete Carroll said afterward that Smith "looked good, felt good." Insider Jordan Schultz confirms that Smith is expected to start against San Francisco. That's good news for Seattle's offense, but Smith is only a QB2 this week at less than 100% in a bad matchup.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf missed Tuesday's practice and is on the injury report with a toe. He's dealt with hip and rib injuries this season, but the toe is new. We'll see if Metcalf practices on Wednesday and how he's listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said Monday that there's no structural damage to QB Geno Smith's elbow. Smith is sore, though, and will be evaluated over the next few days, Carroll added. It sounds like Smith is uncertain for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers, although we'd expect him to push to play in such a big game. We'll keep tabs on his status. QB Drew Lock would be a significant downgrade for the offense if Smith is unable to play.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said after Sunday's loss to the Rams that QB Geno Smith has a bruise on his “tricep, back of his elbow” that “blew up a little bit.” Carroll wouldn’t say whether Smith will be able to play vs. the 49ers on Thanksgiving night. If not, Seattle will turn to QB Drew Lock, who went 2 of 6 for three yards and an INT today. We should get another update on Smith on Monday.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf exited Week 10 with 7 catches, 98 yards, and a 25.5% target share. The 16.8 PPR points are his second most on what's been a frustrating season overall. Sunday, though, he was able to take advantage of perhaps the league’s worst secondary. (Rookie CB Emmanuel Forbes was even ejected in the first half.) Metcalf also benefited from 47 Geno Smith pass attempts. Look for more WR2 fantasy lines in the future, as Metcalf has the benefit of an excellent WR schedule.

Seahawks rookie WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the team with 6 receptions and 63 yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. His 7 targets trailed only WR Tyler Lockett's 8. Seattle kept three WRs on the field more than usual in a game that found the Seahawks down 17-3 at the half and 30-3 by the end of the third quarter. Four of JSN's receptions came after Baltimore had pushed the lead to 30-3. The rookie has seen more usage since the Week 5 bye, but this game likely elevated that further with such negative game script for Seattle. JSN still shouldn't be in starting consideration for most leagues going forward, though he's closer since the bye than he was before. A Week 10 matchup with Washington adds upside to everyone in the passing game.

Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (hip) and Tyler Lockett (hamstring) are off the final Week 9 injury report. Both guys were full participants in Friday’s practice and should be ready for their usual roles in this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hip) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a full practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if Metcalf just got the day or suffered a setback. Check back tomorrow to see how Metcalf is listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett caught 8 of 11 targets for a team-leading 81 yards and a TD in Week 8’s victory over the Browns. His teammate D.K. Metcalf was not nearly as efficient on his looks, logging just 5 catches on 14 targets for 67 yards. Rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba, however, made good use of his opportunities by catching 3 passes for 36 yards and a score in the contest. This trio of WRs combined for 75% of the Seahawks’ targets. It’s pretty clear who QB Geno Smith will look for in Week 9 vs. the Ravens.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs, hip) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 8 injury report. It looks like he’s ready to step back into his usual role vs. the Browns on Sunday.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs, hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Assuming he stays full the rest of the week, Metcalf can be trusted in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs, hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. That should mean target boosts for WRs Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba – and potentially TEs Noah Fant, Colby Parkinson, and Will Dissly. Jake Bobo figures to slide into a top-3 WR role.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hip, ribs) remains a game-time decision for this afternoon's tilt with the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "There are more concerns about his availability than there were the past two weeks," Schefter adds. We won't get Seattle's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET, making this a tricky situation for Metcalf owners. You need to have a late-game alternative rostered if you're hoping to start Metcalf. He'll obviously carry elevated risk if he does end up playing.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs, hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, and HC Pete Carroll labeled him a game-time decision. Metcalf has been playing through the rib injury, so it's likely the hip injury he suffered last week that has him uncertain. It's worth noting that Metcalf did return to last week's game after hurting his hip. We'll look for further updates on his status, but we won't get Seattle's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs, hip) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. The team has been managing his practice reps due to the rib injury, so it's tough to know how big a concern the new hip injury is. Check back tomorrow for another update on Metcalf's status for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs, hip) did not practice on Wednesday. He's been playing through the rib issue for a few weeks but picked up the hip injury in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. Metcalf was eventually able to return to that one and should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. But we'll keep an eye on him over the next few days.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett paced the team with 6 catches and 94 yards in Week 6. As usual, Lockett proved effective while working downfield. He earned a 19.5% target share from Geno Smith, who remained inconsistent against Cincinnati. Note: D.K. Metcalf picked up a hip injury on Sunday but was able to return. Regardless of Metcalf’s Week 7 status, Lockett will remain a clear fantasy starter vs. Arizona.
