| Expert | ||
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | DK Metcalf was one of my biggest dynasty targets last offseason and he did not disappoint even with a new quarterback. The super-sized WR finished as the WR24 in points per game and as the WR17 overall, but I'd argue that Metcalf left meat on the bone in his first year with Geno Smith at the helm considering his final output didn't truly reflect his alpha usage. He was the WR12 in expected points per game based on ranking 18th in target share (25.5%) and 12th in air yards share (37%). He tied for second overall in red zone targets with Justin Jefferson. | |
| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | Despite the adoration for Metcalf, he has only finished as a top-10 WR once in his career (2020). Since then he has WR-12 and 18 finishes respectively. This is the first year that his ADP aligns with his production. Currently going as the WR16, Metcalf is a perfect WR-two or WR-one if you start the draft RB heavy. | Probably my biggest riser this offseason has been Christian Watson. There have been no notable facts that have led to this increase, instead basing it on the "it just makes sense" theory. Think about it, he was thought to be an explosive prospect and proved just that in his rookie season. He is now the clear top receiving option, competing with two rookie tight ends and fifth-rounder and fellow sophomore Romeo Doubs. Plus, he has already developed some chemistry with Jordan Love and possesses the upside that can win you a matchup on any given week. You are also betting on Jordan Love here, but Watson could easily surpass his current ADP value. |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/8: JSN is a much different role, but could eat into the target share regardless. 3/7: Good to have his boy Geno back | 5/24: Lots of talk of that Watson's route tree is already growing big in camp and LaFleur is expecting huge things. I'm in love with Round 4 Watson 3/19: Lazard gone, Cobb likely to follow. Even with QB turnover, Love should be fine & Watson could command 140+ targets Absolute freak finished as a Top-6 WR once he became a starter. Love should be solid enough to keep the ceiling sky-high here |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Metcalf has seen his fantasy production decline in three straight seasons after opening his first two seasons as the WR10 and WR20 in fantasy points per game. He found himself sitting at WR24 after the 2022 season. Metcalf's finish was fueled by three massive games in which he finished with at least 127 receiving yards as the WR7 or higher in weekly scoring. He was a rollercoaster wide receiver who also had six weeks as a WR55 or lower in weekly scoring. Metcalf's overall metrics in 2022 still put him in the WR2 bucket when projecting forward to 2023. He was 18th in target share (25.5%), tenth in air yard share (36.3%), and 34th in yards per route run. Metcalf was also 12th in deep target and second in red zone targets among receivers. | Christian Watson was the talk of the town after blowing up the Senior Bowl and combine last year. Worries about Watson began to mount for many in camp and during the early part of the season as he dealt with nagging injuries. Once healthy, Watson proved that the cream does rise to the top. He emerged as the Packers' clear number-one wideout. Watson ranked 14th in open rate (per ESPN analytics), 12th in yards per route run, and third in fantasy points per route run. He was fourth in YAC per reception behind only Deebo Samuel, Rondale Moore, and Jaylen Waddle (minimum 50 targets, per PFF). Watson is a strong WR2 that has huge WR1 upside. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Career-high 90 catches in 1st season with QB Geno Smith - positive TD regression likely after 3rd-most RZ targets (27) yielded just 28th-most RZ catches (8) | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | There is not much difference between DK Metcalf and Tyler Locket, as Metcalf was just a few fantasy points behind Lockett, finishing with 87 receptions for 1,008 yards and 6 TDs. Metcalf is a solid WR2 in 2023, as long as the Seahawks can bring Geno Smith back after a breakout season. | Watson had 36 receptions for 507 yards and 7 TDs in his rookie campaign, which saw him battle injuries early in the year and not take on a prominent role in the offense until Week 10. Watson should be a WR2 with WR1 upside in 2023. |
