Metcalf is not likely to play in Saturday's preseason game against Denver, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf was doing a lot of work pregame, suggesting that may be the only action he sees on the night. The Seahawks announced that 22 players will not hit the field for the game, though didn't specify exactly who would be sidelined. Other strong candidates to sit the game out include Russell Wilson, Gerald Everett and Tyler Lockett.

Metcalf caught five of 11 targets for 96 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf was only targeted once over the first four drives, and when he was finally targeted again midway through the second quarter, Rams cornerback Darious Williams hopped in front of the pass, intercepting it and taking it the other way for six points. His fate changed on the next drive, however, as Russell Wilson scrambled left and threw a deep pass to Metcalf for a 51-yard touchdown -- the Seahawks' longest play of the day. Metcalf ended up being Wilson's top target, and he added a 12-yard touchdown reception in garbage time. It was overall an electric sophomore season for Metcalf, as he finished with 83 receptions (129 targets) for 1,303 yards -- seventh in the league -- and 10 touchdowns. Metcalf just turned 23 years old in December; there's no ceiling on his upside.

Metcalf was held to three receptions (nine targets) for 21 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf waited for the last game of his breakout campaign to post his lowest yardage total in 2020; the 33 percent catch rate was also the worst mark of the year. The second-year stud did cool off down the stretch once defenses began to key in on him -- Sunday's consistent double coverage by the 49ers being a great example of that -- averaging just 52.8 yards per game with one total touchdown in his final five contests after posting impressive marks of 94.5 yards per game and nine receiving scores in the first 11 weeks of the season. Metcalf finishes his second regular season as a pro with 83 catches, 1,303 yards and an even 10 touchdowns over 16 contests. Not only did the physically-dominant wideout take a big leap forward in terms of production, but he has also proven to be a durable asset with no games missed due to injury or illness in his young career. We may be only getting a glimpse of Metcalf's potential as a fantasy wideout as his fundamentals continue to catch up to his physical attributes; it doesn't hurt to have a legendary quarterback in his prime throwing him the ball, either.

Metcalf caught six of eight targets for 59 yards during Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf led the team in targets, catches and yards, though special attention from the talented Rams secondary limited his total output. His long gain on the day went for just 17 yards, and he's now recorded just one grab of more than 25 yards in his last seven games. Metcalf's drop in production has coincided with Russell Wilson's, but the duo has still propelled the Seahawks to the NFC West title. With that said, the star wideout will face another tough matchup as he tries to round into form in next Sunday's matchup against the 49ers with playoff positioning on the line.

Metcalf caught five of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf registered just two receptions for 10 yards when the third quarter concluded. The first drive of the fourth quarter was all Metcalf, though, as he was targeted on four of five plays, translating into three receptions for 33 yards. That drive ended early with a Russell Wilson interception, and Metcalf didn't receive another target Sunday. Metcalf finished with his second-lowest yardage total of the year. His lowest total (28 yards) came in Week 10 against the Rams, which the Seahawks face again in Week 16.

Metcalf caught six of eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Russell Wilson spread the ball around in the rout, and while nine different Seahawks recorded receptions and four different Seattle players were on the end of TD passes, it was Metcalf who paced the club in catches, targets and yards. The second-year wideout now has a career-high 10 touchdowns on the season heading into Week 15's road clash with a much stingier Washington secondary.

Metcalf recorded five receptions on eight targets for 80 yards in Week 13 against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf led the team in receiving yards, though he was unable to replicate his massive Week 12 performance in a tough matchup against James Bradberry. Even so, he supplied some of the Seahawks' most explosive offensive gains, including receptions of 21, 18 and 15 yards. He also delivered his obligatory highlight reel play of the game when he stiff-armed Bradberry to the turf for a 14-yard gain midway through the third quarter. Metcalf could be in line for a huge Week 14 performance against the hapless Jets.

Metcalf caught 10 of 13 targets for 177 yards in Monday night's 23-17 win over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf was nearly unstoppable despite going against accomplished cornerback Darius Slay, who couldn't handle the wideout's superior speed and physicality all night. In fact, Metcalf was the only one who hindered himself, dropping a catchable touchdown during the fourth quarter. The towering target also got tackled at the one-yard line following a 52-yard reception in the second, illustrating how Metcalf's already-dominant performance somehow could've been even better. In just his second season, the 22-year-old has quickly become one of the league's top receivers, and will look to further his stellar campaign in a favorable matchup Week 13 versus the Giants.

Metcalf secured three of five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 28-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Although he fell short of the 50-yard mark for the second time in four days, Metcalf rewarded fantasy managers with a 25-yard scoring grab in the first quarter, his ninth touchdown reception of the season and fourth in the last three games. Metcalf's combined 5-74 line in the last pair of contests represents a low point for him in terms of any two-game period this season, however, so he'll look to revert back to more productive ways during a Week 12 Monday night road matchup against the Eagles on Nov. 30.

Metcalf caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf predictably drew Jalen Ramsey as a shadow during Sunday's divisional tilt, and the second-year receiver didn't receive a target until the third drive of the second half. He appeared to be open a handful of times in the second half, but Russell Wilson simply couldn't find him Sunday. This was the third time in nine games that Metcalf didn't find the end zone. He'll look to get back on track Thursday night against the Cardinals, who have held him to three receptions for 29 yards over three career matchups.
