Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf delivered a big Week 3 on the back of a 71-yard deep ball TD. He finished the day with 4 grabs for 105 yards on a 17.6% target share.
What They're Saying
Here's QB Geno Smith on the big play to Metcalf.
“That was a play that we had been repping all offseason, give DK the option to read that right there,’’ Smith said. “If we get the coverage we like, he’s going to take the top off it. So they were playing low quarters on that side; they play up half to the other side; we got the safety in the position we want him, and he really bit down on the dig route and DK was able to get behind him.’’
2024 Fantasy Football Impact
Metcalf got behind Miami’s defense on a nice double move. Once he made the catch, Metcalf showcased his smooth acceleration to reach the end zone.
The 26-year-old has now tallied three career TDs of 70+ yards.
On the year, Metcalf leads the Seahawks in targets, catches, yards, and TDs. Going back to last year, he’s hit 13 PPR points in seven of his past nine outings.
With OC Ryan Grubb and QB Geno Smith performing, Metcalf’s fantasy production looks sustainable. Next up is a Monday night matchup with the Lions.
