DK Metcalf

WR, Seahawks

1200px-U+25CB.svg.png

DK Metcalf started off the year incredible last season. In his first eight games, Metcalf had 43 catches for 788 yards and 8 touchdowns. That would be 86 catches for 1,576 yards and 16 touchdowns over the course of a 16-game season. Metcalf, like the rest of the Seahawks, massively dropped off in the second half of the season. DK went from 20.6 PPR points per game in the first half of the year to 12.5 PPR points per game in the second half of the season. Metcalf certainly showed flashes of fantasy stardom, however, and he was very raw coming out of college, meaning he should take yet another step forward this year. Metcalf’s style of play as a deep specialist will make him a lot more inconsistent than most other top receivers and his struggles with drops (11 last year) will only add to that problem. That means that DK will have some incredible, week-winning performances but other games where he completely busts. Metcalf is also significantly more valuable in standard than PPR because he doesn’t get a ton of catches by virtue of the fact that he is a deep specialist. Nonetheless, DK Metcalf has a ton of upside and has a decent floor, so he is worth drafting in the third round.

Standard Analytics-Based Projected Points: 163.2

PPR Analytics-Based Projected Points: 238.5
