Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or C.J. Stroud

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) will not practice on Wednesday or Thursday according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. The 26-year-old suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Metcalf was originally deemed week-to-week but could still suit up this weekend. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report as Metcalf will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend. Metcalf as enjoyed a strong start to the campaign as he has scored at least 17.0 PPR points in four out of the seven games he has played in this season. If he is able to suit up this weekend he should be started in all formats as a high-end WR2. If he cannot play, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba should see an increase in targets.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was held in check during a 24-22 loss at Green Bay, compiling a season-low 86 yards on 10-for-21 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also added 19 yards rushing on five attempts. The second-year quarterback was sacked four times and saw nearly a third of his passing yards on one play, a 28-yard completion to tight end Dalton Schultz. It was an all-around frustrating day for the Houston offense, which was held without a passing touchdown for the first time this season. Stroud and the Texans will look for better in Week 8 against Indianapolis.
