Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or Bryce Young

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was quiet in a Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Metcalf caught four passes for 59 yards on five targets. Since his return from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has not produced the high-end numbers fantasy managers are accustomed to. Additionally, fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as an excellent weapon for the Seahawks and quarterback Geno Smith. Still, Metcalf's talent is too strong to ignore. He is unlikely to stay quiet for long. This is especially true considering that the Seahawks are entering a stretch run of the season in which they have a chance to take control of the NFC West. They do not have an egregious schedule for wide receivers ahead and should be able to produce solid numbers in the passing game. It is only a matter of time before Metcalf finds his way back into the high-end WR2 conversation.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had 263 yards and a touchdown off 21-for-35 passing in Sunday's three-point loss to the Chiefs. He added three carries for 20 yards. The signal-caller has had his share of struggles throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, Young arguably had his best showing of the season. Head coach Dave Canales remained adamant Young would remain starting for the Week 13 NFC South meeting with the Bucs. Unfortunately, he'll need a few more acceptable performances before fantasy managers consider him a starting option.
