D.K. Metcalf Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

The Seahawks and QB Geno Smith struggled through the 1st half of Sunday morning's loss to the Buccaneers. He rallied in the 2nd half, though, to throw for 275 yards and 2 TDs on 23-of-33 passing. Smith found WR Tyler Lockett and WR Marquise Goodwin for 4th-quarter TDs. WR D.K. Metcalf and RB Kenneth Walker III tied for the team lead with 6 receptions apiece. Seattle now gets a Week 11 bye.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith went 26 of 34 (76.5%) for 275 yards (8.1 per attempt), 2 TDs and an INT in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Smith found WRs Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf for his 2 scores. Metcalf tied TE Noah Fant for the team lead with 6 targets. Fant led the way with 5 catches for 96 yards. Metcalf totaled just 37 yards on his 5 receptions. Lockett caught all 5 of his targets for 67 yards.

Seahawks WR Marquise Goodwin (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. That leaves D’Wayne Eskridge as Seattle’s #3 WR but should just push a few extra targets to WRs D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett each came up a little short of their usual playing time in Sunday's win over the Giants but otherwise showed no signs of the injuries that made them questionable. Metcalf led Seattle with 10 targets and 6 catches, taking them for 55 yards and a TD. He narrowly missed more with a couple of near-catches. Lockett posted a 5-63-1 receiving line on 8 targets and dropped another ball that would have produced a long TD. Barring physical setbacks this week, both guys should be strong fantasy starts at Arizona.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He got in just a limited practice on Friday after suffering a patellar tendon injury last Sunday, so it’s tough to imagine that he’ll be anywhere close to 100% today. Consider Metcalf a risk/reward WR3 in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

The Seahawks expect WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) to play today against the Giants. That's quite a turnaround after he left last week's game on a cart. There's some risk to using Metcalf in fantasy lineups, but it's a positive matchup. We'll watch for any further word on his status before the early games -- and obviously watch for confirmation when the late-game inactives come out.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after sitting out the previous 2 days, so Metcalf seems to have at least some chance of playing on Sunday. Fantasy owners should still plan on being without him for now, but we’ll keep you updated on Metcalf’s status.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf is "probably more week-to-week than day-to-day" with the knee he injured against the Chargers last Sunday. Rapoport adds that he'd be "a little surprised" if Metcalf winds up playing this Sunday against the Giants. His absence would put Marquise Goodwin in the starting lineup, coming off a 2-TD game against L.A.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Pete Carroll hasn't quite ruled him out for this weekend's game vs. the Giants, but Metcalf seems like an extreme long shot for that one. Marquise Goodwin is expected to step in as Seattle's #2 WR behind Tyler Lockett.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said in a Monday radio appearance that WR D.K. Metcalf suffered a patellar tendon injury in the win over the Chargers. Metcalf won't need surgery on the knee, according to Carroll, but it's still unclear how long he'll be sidelined. We'll keep you posted on the situation, but Metcalf owners shouldn't plan on having him in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf injured his knee in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chargers and was quickly ruled out. That often means a significant injury, but we'll update Metcalf's status when we know more.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith threw for 197 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. TE Noah Fant and WR D.K. Metcalf tied for the team target lead with 7. Want caught a team-high 6 passes for a team-high 43 yards. Metcalf managed only 2 receptions for 34 yards. WR Tyler Lockett checked in next with 5 targets, catching only 2 for 17 yards. WR Dee Eskridge was the only other Seahawk with more than 2 receptions. He posted a 3-39 receiving line on 3 targets.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith threw for 320 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win at Detroit, his 2nd straight game of 320+ yards. Smith again favored D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, targeting them with a combined 60% of his pass attempts. Metcalf caught 7 of 10 looks for 149 yards. Lockett posted a 6-91 receiving line on 8 targets. TEs Will Dissly and Noah Fant caught the TD passes. Smith gets a tougher matchup in Week 5 (Saints). After that comes a favorable home date with Arizona.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith racked up 325 yards and 2 TDs on 32-of-44 passing in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. Smith threw 52.3% of his pass attempts at WRs D.K. Metcalf (12) or Tyler Lockett (11). No other Seahawk drew more than 4 looks. Lockett posted a 9-76 receiving line. Metcalf caught 5 balls for 64 yards and a TD. The remaining score went to TE Will Dissly.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf ended Week 1 with 7 grabs for 36 yards on a team-high 7 targets. Not exactly the type of line you’d expect from Metcalf, right? The burner didn’t see any downfield targets from Geno Smith, but he did show his strong hands with a few catches in tight coverage. Monday also presented a tough matchup with rising star Patrick Surtain Jr. Sunday turns up a road matchup with the 49ers.

The Seahawks and WR D.K. Metcalf agreed to a 3-year extension worth $72 million, with $52.8 million of that guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It ends the brief hold-in for the 24-year-old wideout and puts him under contract through 2025.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll confirmed to reporters after practice Wednesday that WR D.K. Metcalf is sitting out practices in hopes of landing a contract extension -- and not because of lingering effects from his winter foot surgery. "We are right there," Carroll said, referring to the negotiations. We'll keep an eye on Metcalf's status.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf reported for the start of training camp on Tuesday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. "It’s unclear whether Metcalf will practice with the team, but his appearance at camp can be considered a positive," Fowler adds. Metcalf skipped June minicamp as he angles for a new contract. But it doesn't look like he's planning to sit out regular-season games.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf did not report for the start of minicamp as he continues to angle for a new contract. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler confirms that Metcalf's absence is unexcused, subjecting him to fines up to $93,000. The Seahawks have made it clear that they'd like to get Metcalf a new deal, but there's obviously still work to be done between the 2 sides. It's a situation to monitor as we get closer to training camp in late July.

According to Seahawks HC Pete Carroll, WR DK Metcalf is out of his walking boot. He’s resumed running, too, per Carroll. In February, Metcalf underwent surgery to have a screw removed from a prior procedure. Per Ian Rapoport, the issue bothered Metcalf throughout last season. Now we’ll see if Seattle’s able to lock up the 24-year-old with a long-term contract. Extension talks are underway.
