Metcalf won't return to Sunday's game versus the Chargers due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf's departure doesn't include any context, but he nonetheless won't see any more action Week 7, ending his day with one catch (on two targets) for 12 yards. The Seahawks thus will roll with Tyler Lockett, Marquise Goodwin, Dee Eskridge and Dareke Young at wide receiver for the rest of Sunday.

Metcalf recorded two receptions on seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf had been showing strong chemistry with Geno Smith in recent games, but he struggled to produce against the Cardinals. Despite tying for the team lead in targets, he finished third on the team in receiving yards. Positively, Metcalf has a secure role among the Seahawks' receiving corps, as he has earned at least seven targets in five of six games this season.

Metcalf tallied five receptions on eight targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf did the majority of his damage on a 50-yard touchdown reception midway through the first quarter. He also appeared to have a 32-yard score early in the second half, but it was nullified by a holding call. Metcalf also lost a fumble, so it wasn't a perfect effort. On the other hand, he has put his big-play ability on full display in the last two weeks, recording five receptions of 20 yards or more and two of more than 40 yards.

Metcalf secured seven of 10 targets for 149 yards in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf produced team-high figures in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with a 54-yard grab the highlight of his performance. The trademark effort made up for a slow start to the season for Metcalf, who'd topped out at seven receptions and 64 yards in terms of his individual game highs over the first three weeks of the campaign. With his first 100-yard effort of 2022 now under his belt, Metcalf will look to put together a successful encore in a Week 5 road battle versus the Saints.

Metcalf had five receptions (12 targets) for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf was finally able to turn in a strong fantasy performance with Geno Smith at the helm after totaling just 71 yards and no touchdowns through Seattle's first two games. The lack of efficiency (42 percent catch rate) from the quarterback/wideout duo is concerning projecting forward, but fantasy managers have to be pleased with the end results after a pair of duds to start the season. Metcalf will look to build off of this positive performance in a favorable matchup against the Lions next Sunday.

Metcalf caught four of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight game, Metcalf saw solid volume from Geno Smith but it failed to translate into much production. The entire Seattle offense struggled in this one, however, and the team's only score came on a blocked field goal that got returned to the end zone by Mike Jackson. Metcalf had more success last year with Smith under center, catching 14 passes on 18 targets for 197 yards and three TDs in the QB's three starts, and the talented wideout could break out in Week 3 against a Falcons defense that has already given up huge games to Cooper Kupp (11-108-2), Jarvis Landry (7-114-0) and Michael Thomas (5-57-2) this season.

Metcalf caught all seven of his targets for 36 yards and lost a fumble in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
One play after showing off his hands and strength to pluck the ball out of the air for a 15-yard gain on 3rd-and-10, Metcalf got greedy on a short pass and had the ball punched out as he was fighting for extra yardage. That fumble was sandwiched between a pair of Broncos fumbles inside Seattle's five-yard line, so Metcalf's miscue didn't wind up costing his team. Big downfield plays could be rare for Metcalf in a conservative Seattle offense helmed by Geno Smith, but the athletic wide receiver was the top option in the passing game, as no teammate saw more than four targets. Metcalf and the Seahawks will face the 49ers in Week 2.

Metcalf didn't play in Friday's 27-26 preseason loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Tyler Lockett played, but Metcalf took the night off as he prepares for the Week 1 matchup against the Broncos. The night was still eventful for the star receiver, as Geno Smith was named the starting quarterback for the season opener. Metcalf had a solid connection with Smith last season, as he totaled 14 catches for 197 yards and three touchdowns during the three games that Smith started.

Metcalf played the opening series of Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears but wasn't targeted.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf got his feet wet after sitting out Seattle's preseason opener, but he was used sparingly, as the Seahawks' immediate goal for Metcalf is just to keep him healthy heading into the regular season. Metcalf may see more significant action in the Aug. 26 preseason finale in Dallas so that he can build a rapport with Geno Smith (knee) or Drew Lock (COVID-19) before the games start to count.

Metcalf didn't play during the Seahawks' 32-25 preseason loss to the Steelers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf signed a three-year extension with Seattle in late July, but he was held off the field during Saturday's preseason opener since the Seahawks elected to rest some of their starters. It's not yet clear whether the 24-year-old will see the field at all during the preseason, but his fantasy potential in 2022 is somewhat dependent on the play of Geno Smith or Drew Lock after Russell Wilson was traded to Denver during the offseason.
