D.K. Metcalf

We can't forget that Metcalf had a knee scope just two weeks prior to last season, and that he was considered a "raw receiver" by many who thought he'd take time to develop. During his rookie season, we watched him top 60 yards on nine separate occasions, which was tied for the 10th most among wide receivers. We all know touchdowns will come playing alongside Russell Wilson, too. Metcalf has legitimate WR1 upside if his development continues. After all, we did see him set the rookie record for receiving yards (160) in a playoff game.

D.K. Metcalf: Seahawks looking to expand versatility in the passing game

Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer says he is looking to expand D.K. Metcalf's versatility in the passing game this season.

Fantasy Impact

“He kind of got stuck at the ‘X’ receiver last year. This year we know we can move him around quite a bit more. I just think the flexibility of moving him around and introducing some different route concepts that we can kind of get him up to speed on will complement the things that he’s already put on film" were some of Schottenheimer's exact words. Metcalf began his rookie season only working outside the numbers but eventually emerged down the stretch as a more complete receiver. He wound up posting the most receiving yards ever by a rookie in a playoff game, putting up 160 yards against the Eagles. Added versatility would only help the 22-year-old's fantasy production.
