DK Metcalf Week 16 Outlook - Vikings at Seahawks

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Metcalf has hit a cold streak, as he hasn't finished higher than WR28 in weekly scoring since Week 11. During this five-game stretch, he has only two red zone targets and zero touchdowns. Minnesota has the highest two high rate in the NFL (65.3%). Since Week 11, against two high, Metcalf has had a 12.4% target share, 1.06 YPRR, and a 22.4% first-read share. This is a brutal coverage shell matchup for Metcalf, but the Minnesota secondary has been giving recently to perimeter wide receivers, which could help Metcalf. Since Week 11, Minnesota has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game and the tenth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
