Read DK Metcalf's fantasy football outlook for Week 3 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Tyler Lockett has 278 yards and three touchdowns through two weeks. That's insane. But guess what, DK Metcalf has the same number of targets (16) and thus the same target share (30.8%). Lockett had these explosion games last season on a few occasions and then would vanish into oblivion in other games. While that may not happen again this season, there should be plenty of opportunities for both Lockett and Metcalf to eat on a regular basis.
Metcalf actually has more red zone targets (two) than Lockett thus far (one), but Lockett has more touchdowns. His touchdowns typically come as a result of Russell Wilson buying more time with his legs, and getting open downfield, so this makes sense. The point is, it's hard to project Lockett over Metcalf, or even Metcalf over Lockett for that matter. Both receivers should be considered WR1s on a weekly basis until we see otherwise.
Just like in Los Angeles with Woods and Kupp, the target funnel is so narrow in Seattle that you can make a case for both of these guys to produce admirably. It may be impossible to predict which guy goes off in a given week, but both should always be in your starting lineup due to their relatively safe floors and insanely high ceilings. That being said, Lockett looks like the much better value this season with an ADP of WR21 compared to Metcalf who had an ADP of WR4.
