2023 Fantasy Outlook
Metcalf's size/speed combination is unmatched, but from a statistical standpoint he's only put it all together in one of his four NFL seasons -- in 2020 when he went for 83-1,303-10. He got back on the right side of 1,000 yards last year, barely, yet finished with a career-low six touchdowns amidst a breakout season from Geno Smith. While Metcalf's 141 targets were a career high and easily a team high, Smith was actually more efficient when throwing to Tyler Lockett and his tight ends. Lockett, in particular, had three more touchdowns and only 15 fewer yards on 24 fewer targets than Metcalf. Some of that might just be luck, but at what point do we start to consider the possibility that Metcalf is merely a good player and not a great one despite his physical gifts? On the other hand, he's only 25 and has never missed a game after a bunch of injuries in college, so giving him one more chance to join the elite isn't the worst idea even with rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba adding to the target competition.

Full practice to finish week
Metcalf (ribs) was a full practice participant Friday despite being listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Full participation to close out the week all but confirms Metcalf will suit up after playing through the same injury during last week's overtime win over Detroit. Both he and coach Pete Carroll have consistently relayed optimism about the injury, so there's a good chance Metcalf is healthy enough to handle his usual role when the Seahawks and Panthers kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET this Sunday.

2019
Metcalf's third season was a step back from his second, though a dozen touchdowns softened the blow and he played every game for a third consecutive year. That last part is key, as a sketchy medical history was perhaps the biggest reason Metcalf wasn't picked until late in the second round in 2020. In terms of physical tools, he's an early first-rounder through and through, having put up a 4.33 40 and 40.5-inch vertical at the 2019 Combine. Metcalf struggles a bit with the finer points of route-running, as is common for oversized wideouts, but he showed in 2020 that he can do damage all over the field nonetheless. In 2021, however, his connection with Russell Wilson was inconsistent, with Metcalf catching only 54 percent of the targets he saw from the star quarterback. Wilson's finger injury might have been a big part of Seattle's struggles as a team, but Metcalf can't totally blame it for his disappointing year, as he had just one 100-yard outing in Wilson's 14 starts and finished the season with 208 fewer yards than Tyler Lockett on 22 more targets. While the chemistry might have been an issue, Metcalf now faces a much bigger problem, catching passes Geno Smith. Long term, things look far more promising, as the Wilson deal with Denver netted a boatload of draft picks to rebuild the offense around Metcalf, who signed a three-year extension in July.
