DK Metcalf Leads Team With 78 Receiving Yards

11 months ago

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf had a disappointing fantasy performance against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. He finished with a modest five catches for 78 yards, both team highs in the Seahawks' 20-17 win. Coming into Week 15, the Eagles had allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers but with Drew Lock relieving the ailing Geno Smith (groin) for the second consecutive week, Seattle ran a more conservative passing attack. Metcalf was thrown to just three times in the first half, making one catch, drawing a pass interference flag, and dropping a ball so underthrown he was lucky to get a hand on it. He was a key figure in Seattle's final drive, though, catching three passes that resulted in first downs including a 34-yard bomb while in double coverage. In Week 16, Metcalf will try to do better against the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed the second-most receptions to wide receivers this season.
