| Justin Lampkin Clock Management Fantasy Football | unfortunately DK will be playing for the Russell-less Seattle Seahawks. Although he is extremely talented WR, I expect Seattle to run the ball at a very high rate and the QB play to be lackluster at best. This will be DK's worst season and likely a player I avoid in drafts. | |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | In Year 3, with an upgrade in field general acumen behind center, it's easy to believe Pittman can improve upon last year's WR18 finish | Caught 4 TD passes in 3+ games with Geno Smith at QB in 2021, so there is at least some hope that all is not lost for Metcalf with Russell Wilson now in Denver |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | Ryan might be meh, but it's a big upgrade from Wentz -- AND RUMORED BREAKFAST CLUB?!?! The two are showing strong, immediate chemistry that can't be ignored | Can't trust any SEA Weapons right now til I know more about the QB situation |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | D.K. Metcalf played last season with Geno Smith and a watered-down version of Russell Wilson under center and still managed to finish as WR20. While the pairing of Smith and Drew Lock might hamper his ceiling, Metcalf's floor is as a low-end WR2. Metcalf's volume and efficiency should still lend to spike weeks regardless of the quarterback. Last season he was eighth in target share (27.3%), 24th in targets per snap, and 20th in yards per route run (minimum 50 targets, per PFF). | |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Pittman got the true WR1 treatment from the Colts coaching staff in 2021, running a route on 96% of offensive dropbacks - third to only Cooper Kupp (WR1) and Ja'Marr Chase (WR4) through 17 weeks. He also finished the season tied for the league's eighth-highest target share (24%), which was 11 percentage points higher than the next closest Colt, Zach Pascal, at 13%. He also made 18 highlight-reel contested catches - fourth most in the NFL. And his 31% target share from Weeks 13-18 cemented his place in Indy's WR1 chair heading into 2022. With Matt Ryan under center Pittman has the volume potential to be a top-12 fantasy option. Ryan has a history of fueling top-end fantasy WRs like Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, making a top-five finish not all that crazy for Big Mike in 2022. Don't forget that last season, Ridley as the Falcons' No. 1 receiver owned the sixth-highest target rate per route run and ranked second among all wide receivers in expected fantasy points per game (16.5). | The difference between having Geno Smith/Drew Lock at quarterback versus Russell Wilson cannot be overstated enough. It's a horrible situation to be in and puts D.K. Metcalf in a tough spot. Although the alpha wideout did rise to occasion under a small sample size last season, averaging 14.9 fantasy points per game (15th - same as his final season-long standing) without Wilson at quarterback for three games. But I am suspect that removing their quarterback that led the NFL in yards per attempt (10.4), passer rating (133.6) and passer rating from a clean pocket (130.9) before his finger injury is going to create a much larger impact over a 17-game sample size. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Pittman Jr had a breakout season with 1,062 yards from scrimmage and 5 touchdowns in the fantasy season. If he continues to make strides, he should be a WR3/WR2 in 2022. He should be helped by the addition of Matt Ryan, who will offer more stability in the passing game than Carson Wentz. | |
