D.K. Metcalf

2020 projections: 68 receptions, 975 receiving yards, seven receiving touchdowns

One of the biggest stories from the 2019 NFL Draft was the fall of D.K. Metcalf during the draft itself. Despite having a masterful showing at the NFL Combine, Metcalf would slip all the way to the Seattle Seahawks at pick No. 64 in the second round.

The 6-foot-4 vertical threat would be a perfect pairing with Russell Wilson, accounting for 58 catches for 900 yards and seven touchdowns in his rookie season. While Tyler Lockett is Wilson’s go-to guy in Seattle’s aerial attack, Metcalf should easily be the No. 2 option for the Seahawks in 2020.

Metcalf would end his rookie campaign as the third highest-scoring rookie wide receiver in fantasy football. Heading into his second season with Seattle, Metcalf is slated to see a slight bump in his usage within the team’s passing offense, making him a viable option in fantasy drafts.
