Most would consider him a boom-or-bust type of player given his athletic measurables but DK Metcalf was actually a shockingly consistent fantasy contributor as a rookie. Metcalf was targeted at least four times in all but two games and he had at least 50 receiving yards in 10 of his 16 games. On the flip side, he only ever exceeded 90 yards once in the 2019 regular season. We know that the ceiling is there as we saw him absolutely torch the Eagles for seven receptions and 160 yards in the playoffs, so there's plenty of reason to believe that there will be more of those days to come here in 2020.
An offensive system like Seattle's would normally mean low volume for pass catchers, but it might actually be just fine for Metcalf as there's a consolidation of targets among only a few wide receivers, a tight end who's nearing retirement and a backfield of running backs who aren't known for their usage in the passing game. Metcalf commanded 100 targets as a rookie and it seems likely that he'll see even more passes come his way here in 2020 as he becomes more acclimated to the offense and gains more chemistry with Wilson.
Still likely the second option in the passing game, however, Metcalf will need to be efficient again with his targets given that he's not likely to push for the 140-plus targets that some of the top WRs see. Still, he could end up being one of the league's most-targeted end zone weapons as, similar to a player like Dez Bryant, Metcalf's massive frame is built to dominate in contested catch situations.

 Tyler Lockett dealing with a knee sprain
Played 58 of 67 offensive snaps in Week 10
By: Doug Orth | Mon Nov 16, 7:40 pm
|  | Tyler Lockett has "a bit of a knee sprain," per MRI. "It's not a serious knee injury...take it to Thursday," Pete Carroll says. (Gregg Bell on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Carroll is generally unrealistically positive with his injury updates, so take his belief this could be a game-time decision with a grain of salt. The biggest problem for fantasy owners is that Seattle plays on Thursday against the Cardinals, giving Lockett precious even less time to heal up than usual. Fantasy owners would be wise to prepare for the stud receiver to miss the game or at least serve as a decoy. DK Metcalf could be targeted more than usual if Lockett sits.
