Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or CeeDee Lamb

Sunday, November 17, 9:05 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) recorded seven receptions for 70 yards in his return from an MCL sprain in Week 11. In a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Metcalf was able to deliver a solid day from an efficiency perspective as he finished second on the team with nine targets. Metcalf continued his solid season. Metcalf and fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba accounted for most of the Seahawks' receiving yards and have formed a relatively dynamic duo in 2024. Although Smith-Njigba earned more targets in this game, Metcalf's nine were his fourth-most of the season. Metcalf should continue to deliver in fantasy as he gets more comfortable in his return from injury. He has a chance to go on a nice run over the next few weeks with the Arizona Cardinals and the struggling defense of the New York Jets on the docket. Metcalf should have a safe floor as a WR2 in fantasy with major upside to finish as a WR1 in any given week.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with multiple injuries. Lamb injured his back in practice last Saturday and was questionable to play on Monday night in the loss to the Houston Texans, but he was active and played 80% of the offensive snaps on his way to eight catches for 93 yards. The 25-year-old pass-catcher must have picked up a foot injury on Monday, and his practice status will be monitored closely to close out the week. The most likely scenario is that the Cowboys are giving their star receiver a little rest on a short week before he faces the division-rival Washington Commanders this Sunday. Lamb's fantasy value isn't as high now that quarterback Cooper Rush is starting under center for the Cowboys, but his Week 11 production shows why he should stay in all starting fantasy lineups if he's active.
