  • Slows down in season-ending loss

    Metcalf caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 28-23 divisional-round loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Metcalf came down to earth after setting a rookie playoff record with 160 receiving yards in the wild-card round. Despite the disappointing ending, Metcalf still posted an outstanding campaign after being picked in the second round out of Ole Miss, totaling 58 catches for 900 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season. The physically gifted receiver will be especially popular in dynasty formats, but he should get plenty of attention in redraft formats next season as well.

  • Enormous performance versus Eagles

    Metcalf caught seven of nine targets for 160 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Metcalf mustered up the best performance of his NFL career just at the right time. He was Russell Wilson's favorite target. His day was highlighted by a 53-yard touchdown pass where he battled defenders to get into the end zone, and he iced the game by hauling in another 36-yard toss. The Seahawks will travel to Green Bay in the divisional round next Sunday, and while the Packers' secondary is sturdier than the Eagles, it'll be tough to slow down Metcalf when he's playing like this.

  • Generates 81 yards, score

    Metcalf caught six of 12 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: After going catchless in Week 16's loss to the Cardinals, this was an impressive bounce-back effort for the rookie. Metcalf caught a 14-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to make it a one-possession game, and the rookie was Russell Wilson's favorite receiver on the team's final offensive drive, as Metcalf caught two of six targets for 34 yards. Metcalf's regular season ends with 58 receptions for 900 yards and seven touchdowns, and he'll look to build on the success in the playoffs. The…read more

  • Catchless against Arizona

    Metcalf couldn't haul in his only target in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Metcalf was the Seahawks' top receiver during Tyler Lockett's slump, but both produced duds against Arizona's last-ranked pass defense, as Lockett caught just one pass for 12 yards. The Cardinals also held Metcalf to one reception for six yards in Week 4, so they clearly have the formula for shutting down the athletic 22-year-old receiver. The rookie second-rounder will look to right the ship in the season finale against San Francisco. and the Seahawks may be forced to throw more with running…read more

  • Scores in win over Panthers

    Metcalf caught two of four targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Metcalf played second fiddle to Tyler Lockett, who erupted for 120 yards and a score on a team-high nine targets. The rookie second-rounder still managed to produce a solid fantasy day by finding the end zone in the first quarter on a 19-yard pass from Russell Wilson. Metcalf has either surpassed 70 receiving yards or found the paydirt in five of the last six games, so he's carved out a solid floor ahead of Week 16's matchup against the Cardinals, which have the league's worst pass defense --…read more

  • Top receiving target in loss

    Metcalf caught all six targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Metcalf paced the Seahawks in receiving yards for the second straight week, and it was the fourth time in five games the rookie surpassed 70 yards. During that stretch, the rookie second-rounder has become a dependable receiver for Russell Wilson with 27 receptions on 38 targets (71.1 percent catch rate) with an average of 14.4 yards per catch. Metcalf will be up against a tough Panthers pass defense (229.3 passing yards per game) in Week 15.

  • Paces squad in receiving yards

    Metcalf caught six of seven targets for 75 yards in Monday's 37-30 win over the Vikings. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: On the team's second drive, Metcalf nearly notched his first touchdown since Week 9 but was stopped on the one-yard line, setting up Chris Carson to vulture the score. Unfortunately, Metcalf's night also featured the blemish of his third lost fumble of the year during the fourth quarter, which led to a Vikings score to make it a one-possession game. The Seahawks hung on though, and the rookie second-rounder managed to record 70-plus yards for the third time in four games. Metcalf will look to…read more

  • Upgrades to full participation

    Metcalf (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Seattle listed Metcalf as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, so his upgrade to full activity should put to rest any concern about his Week 13 availability. Meanwhile, top wideout Tyler Lockett (shin/illness) failed to practice Friday, so Metcalf and Josh Gordon could be in line for enhanced roles in the Seattle passing attack in the event Lockett isn't ready to play Monday versus the Vikings.

  • Limited by knee injury

    Metcalf was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate due to a knee injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Metcalf underwent minor knee surgery in mid-August but completed his recovery in time to take the field Week 1 and hasn't looked back, putting together a 38-630-5 line on 70 targets. His current limitations may merely be maintenance-based, with his listing on the Seahawks' next two injury reports perhaps clearing up his status before Monday's game versus the Vikings.

  • Registers 35 yards

    Metcalf caught three of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: The Seahawks struggled to get things going through the air -- Russell Wilson completed 13 passes for 200 yards -- so Metcalf ended up below 50 yards for the fourth time this year. The rookie wideout's stat line would've been more appealing had he hung onto a 38-yard pass in the end zone. Metcalf and the Seahawks will look to notch their 10th win in Week 13 against the Vikings.

  • Garners 10 targets

    Metcalf hauled in six of 10 targets for 70 yards in Monday's 27-24 overtime win against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Metcalf enjoyed his highest target count of the season, as he trends up in that department with at least nine looks in three of the last four contests. His night may be remembered by its hiccup, however, as the rookie wideout looked like he was going to drag multiple defenders into the end zone but got stripped of the ball by Jaquiski Tartt on the two-yard line. This was Metcalf's second fumble of the season, but it shouldn't affect his reps going forward. In fact, Tyler Lockett (lower leg)…read more

  • Superb performance in shootout

    Metcalf caught six of nine passes for 123 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Metcalf would've had a solid afternoon either way, but his 53-yard, go-ahead score in the fourth quarter was his final stamp on the best performance of his short career. This was the first time he caught more than four passes in a game, and the 123 yards is his highest mark since Week 1's 89-yard outing. Josh Gordon, who was claimed off waivers from the Patriots on Friday, should be in the fold Week 10 against the 49ers, so Metcalf could have competition for deep targets going forward.

  • Matches Seahawks' rookie record

    Metcalf caught three of five targets for 13 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Metcalf caught touchdowns of two and four yards in this contest, as he continues to shape up as a strong red-zone target for Russell Wilson in the wake of Will Dissly's (Achilles) season-ending injury. He now has the most receiving touchdowns (four) by a Seahawks rookie through the first eight games of a season since 2000 (Darrell Jackson). It's definitely troubling for Metcalf's fantasy value that he hasn't managed more than four receptions in a game this year, so he's shaping up as a…read more

  • Coughs up costly fumble

    Metcalf caught four of nine targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Metcalf's afternoon was highlighted by an impressive 37-yard reception in the first half, but most will only remember his hiccup. With the Seahawks down two possessions, Metcalf caught a ball at the line of scrimmage but fumbled it without any contact. Marlon Humphrey returned the loose ball 18 yards for a touchdown to put the Ravens up 30-13 with 3:37 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was still a promising day for the rookie, though, as Metcalf led the team in targets, including two in the…read more

    Analysis: Metcalf trailed only Tyler Lockett (75) in receiving yards, but he made a major impact with a first down on each of his catches. The rookie could have increased responsibilities moving forward, as the Seahawks fear Will Dissly suffered a torn Achilles, according to John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site.

    Metcalf caught two of three targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Metcalf turned up his well-advertised burners in the second quarter to blow past Marcus Peters and haul in a 40-yard touchdown pass. The rookie was only targeted two other times, but that's what fantasy gamers expect with a boom-or-bust play like Metcalf. Through five games, he has just 12 receptions and a whopping 22.3 yards per catch.

  • Minimal usage in win

    Metcalf caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Metcalf's been on a slow decline since his four-catch, 89-yard season debut, making one less reception each week until he was left with just one in this outing. Russell Wilson only threw 28 times in this contest -- a hefty decrease from recording 85 attempts between Weeks 2 and 3 -- and Metcalf still matched Tyler Lockett in targets. The shine may be wearing off for the rookie, but he still is the team's No. 2 wideout. Metcalf has a chance to bounce back in Thursday night's game versus the…read more

  • Hauls in 54-yarder

    Metcalf caught two of six targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Metcalf made a spectacular 54-yard catch as time ran out in the first half, saving his day from becoming a complete fantasy dud. The rookie second-round pick is still tied with Jaron Brown for fourth on the team in targets behind Tyler Lockett (14) and Will Dissly (seven). Metcalf will look to capitalize on the opportunities better in Week 4's contest against the Cardinals' poor pass defense.

  • Scores first career TD

    Metcalf hauled in three of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-26 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Metcalf's seven targets were second only to WR Tyler Lockett (12), and his 28-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter went down as the game-winning score. The rookie wideout damaged his own production with an offensive pass interference call for the second straight game, but he has still been a fantasy-viable option in both games. The Seahawks should have to pass often again in Week 3 versus the Saints, so look for Metcalf to maintain his impressive momentum.

  • Showcases upside in NFL debut

    Metcalf caught four of six targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Russell Wilson only targeted two wide receivers -- Metcalf and Tyler Lockett -- in this game, and Lockett received just two targets. Metcalf displayed his deep abilities by hauling in a 42-yard pass in the second quarter, setting up Chris Carson's 10-yard touchdown reception. He also made an acrobatic 25-yard catch on third down to set up Lockett's game-winning score in the fourth quarter. Lockett wasn't a target hog last year -- he averaged 4.4 targets per game -- so it's not irrational to…read more

With his health not in question, Metcalf will turn his focus to Sunday's game versus the Bengals, when he may be working on a limited snap count to ease him back into the fray.

    Metcalf (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Two days removed from coach Pete Carroll saying Metcalf "looked great" at practice, the rookie's level of health is more clear. The wideout likely has some work to do to gain clearance from the Seahawks' medical staff after undergoing minor right knee surgery in mid-August. Metcalf's activity level Thursday and Friday could provide a better sense of his odds to suit up Sunday versus the Bengals.

    Analysis: After Carroll relayed that Metcalf "looked great" during Monday's session, the rookie's participation Wednesday isn't a surprise. More news regarding Metcalf's outlook for Sunday's season opener against the Bengals will come later Wednesday, when the Seahawks reveal the extent of the wideout's involvement in their first official practice of the week. If he progresses to active status Week 1, Metcalf likely would be in store for a limited snap count.

    Analysis: Metcalf is about two weeks removed from undergoing surgery on his right knee. With an expectation that he may recover in time to make an appearance Week 1, his activity level Monday is a good sign for his ability to return. That said, the Seahawks aren't required to release an injury report until Wednesday, so his listing there will be a better indicator of his odds to get back.

  • Week 1 status up in air

    Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that the Seahawks are in "wait-and-see" mode with regard to Metcalf's (knee) availability for the Week 1 matchup with the Bengals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. "It really is an assessment every day," Carroll said of the rookie wideout. "He really feels pretty comfortable right now. He doesn't have any swelling and all that, so he doesn't have hindrances that could have shown up. So it just depends on how he tolerates it."

    Analysis: Though Carroll's words are somewhat encouraging, more clarity on Metcalf's status probably won't come until next week's practices, when the Seahawks will have to release official injury reports. With fellow receiver David Moore (shoulder) likely sidelined to start the season, Metcalf could see a decent amount of playing time out of the gate once he's up to speed.

  • Hopeful for Week 1

    Metcalf (knee) still hopes to play in the Seahawks' regular-season opener, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: With that in mind, the rookie wideout is a candidate to ramp up his on-field activities this week. Though it's no lock he'll be ready for Week 1 action, if he is, David Moore's shoulder injury could pave the way for Metcalf -- health permitting -- to see a decent amount of playing time out of the gate this season.

  • No swelling after surgery

    Metcalf (knee) doesn't have any swelling from his Tuesday surgery, putting him on track for a return to physical activity next week, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Metcalf may not be ready to practice with teammates, but it sounds like he'll at least be cleared for some individual work. Meanwhile, fellow Seahawks wideout David Moore (shoulder) won't be ready for the start of the regular season, leaving Metcalf with a somewhat easier path to snaps. The rookie second-round pick appears on track to play at some point in September even if he isn't quite ready for Week 1.

    Analysis: Though there's not yet a specific timetable for the rookie's return, Carroll optimistically noted that he didn't "have any concern that [Metcalf] won't get back soon." At this stage, Metcalf doesn't look like he'll be ready to go for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener versus the Bengals, though his absence may not stretch much longer beyond that if he progresses as Carroll anticipates.

    Coach Pete Carroll said Metcalf could return from knee surgery in time to play Week 1, ESPN.com's Brady Henderson reports.

He was held out of Sunday's preseason loss to the Vikings, with the expectation of having a minor surgery in the coming days.

  • Makes one catch

    Metcalf brought in one of four targets for eight yards in the Seahawks' 22-14 preseason win over the Broncos on Thursday.

    Analysis: The 2019 second-round pick wasn't overly efficient, but the good news was he was able to get through his participation in the contest without any setbacks to his previously strained oblique. Metcalf should get a solid amount of run over the next pair of preseason contests as well in preparation for what could be the No. 2 receiver role alongside de facto No. 1 wideout Tyler Lockett.

    Analysis: Metcalf strained his oblique in practice last week and was limited to individual drills until Tuesday's team scrimmage when he worked at full speed. The rookie second-round pick made contested catches against the Seahawks' first-team secondary during the scrimmage, proving he should be ready to showcase his skills against the Broncos.

Carroll said the Seahawks will take a "wait-and-see" approach with Metcalf, who opened camp working with the first-team offense in two-wide sets.

    Metcalf (oblique) is expected to appear in Thursday's preseason contest versus the Broncos, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: That Metcalf has a possibility of suiting up for Thursday's preseason opener shines a positive light on his recovery from a minor oblique strain, the injury which caused him to sit out a scrimmage during Saturday's practice. If Metcalf does take the field, it remains to be seen how many series he'll play in his first game action as a Seahawk. If the rookie second-round pick impresses during the preseason, he could realistically earn himself a starting role across from Tyler Lockett.
