Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf is coming off one of his worst seasons as a pro in 2024 (66 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns). However, it appears one of the priorities for head coach Mike Macdonald when interviewing offensive coordinator candidates last month was how each one would not allow that to happen again.
"We have to (maximize Metcalf). But we have to go through the process of how we do it. It's, how can you move him around? How you can take care of match-ups. The route tree that's available on how we want to build it," Macdonald said.
Huddle Up: The News Tribune' Gregg Bell reported that every candidate had how their plan for using Metcalf "at the top of their mind." There is no question defenses did what they could to minimize Metcalf in 2024, but the hope for Macdonald is that new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak does more to free up Metcalf than his predecessor (Ryan Grubb) did. Especially with Tyler Lockett unlikely to return, volume should not be an issue for Metcalf in 2025, so it would be no surprise if he is a top 20 fantasy receiver again after a disappointing campaign in 2024.

Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf caught three of his five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in a 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18.

Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf caught all three of his targeted passes for 42 yards during the team's Week 17 win over the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: On a night when Seattle's offense struggled, Metcalf's most memorable moment came when he picked up two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on the same play. Other than that, it was simply another forgettable outing in a largely forgettable season. After opening the year with three 100-plus-yard efforts in his first four games, Metcalf has only topped 60 yards three times in his last 10. Drafted as a potential top-10 fantasy wideout, Metcalf has struggled to deliver steady WR3 value for much of 2024.

Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf caught three of his seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Metcalf had gone five games without finding the end zone, and he has just four touchdowns all season. Overall, Metcalf has cooled after a strong start, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba seems to have surpassed him in the pecking order. Metcalf has become more of a WR3 each week.

Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (shoulder) practiced in full for the second straight day on Friday, Dec. 20, and was removed from the Week 16 injury report.
Huddle Up: After a strong start to the season, Metcalf has fallen off big time, which comes in tandem with the emergence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Metcalf is a flex option entering Week 16.

Seattle Seahawks TE Brady Russell (foot) and LB Trevis Gipson (ankle) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 20, and were ruled out for Week 16. Also, S K'Von Wallace (ankle) practiced in full but was ruled out, DL Johnathan Hankins (illness, rest) did not practice but carries no designation and RB Zach Charbonnet (oblique), RB Kenneth Walker III (calf), WR DK Metcalf (shoulder), C Olu Oluwatimi (knee), DE Leonard Williams (foot, rest), CB Tre Brown (hamstring), TE Noah Fant (knee), LB Ernest Jones (knee), OT Abraham Lucas (rest, knee), TE AJ Barner (knee) and QB Geno Smith (knee) practiced in full and were removed from the injury report.

Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 19.
Huddle Up: Metcalf is not having the same success he had in previous years but is still the main option in the passing game for the Seahawks. He should see a good amount of targets in Week 16 and should be a starting option in all leagues.

Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 18.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Metcalf is in any danger of missing the Week 16 game. He is coming off a season-low 28 yards in the last game but should see more than three targets if he plays this week. He is a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf hauled in all three of his targets for 28 yards in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers.
Huddle Up: While the NBC telecast highlighted the "Metcalf effect" a few times on Sunday night (and how his presence opens up things for players such as Jaxon Smith-Njigba), this effort is the fourth straight game in which he has been held to four or fewer catches and 66 or fewer yards. He has not scored a touchdown in five straight. Making matters worse, Geno Smith could miss some time due to the knee injury he suffered in this game. Considering he could be catching passes from Sam Howell in Week 16, Metcalf might be worth sitting on fantasy benches when the Seahawks host the Minnesota Vikings.

Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Friday, Dec. 13, after being limited the day before and was removed from the Week 15 injury report.
Huddle Up: Metcalf saw a downgrade in participation on Thursday before returning to a full practice on Friday. Metcalf has failed to find the end zone and hasn't totaled more than 70 yards in each of his last four games. Consider him more of a WR2 play until further notice.
