Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or DeVonta Smith

Friday, September 22, 5:41 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) is listed as questionable to face the visiting Carolina Panthers in Week 3 on Sunday. Metcalf missed practice time this week, as expected, after taking a hard shot to the ribs in the Week 2 overtime win over the Detroit Lions. Despite the injury, he managed to haul in all six of his targets last week for 75 yards after scoring in the season opener. All signs point to Metcalf toughing it out this weekend and suiting up, so he should remain locked into all starting fantasy lineups as a WR2. If for any reason he doesn't see his normal allotment of snaps this Sunday, Tyler Lockett and rookie first-rounder Jaxon Smith-Njigba would benefit from some extra looks against Carolina.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring, thigh) was listed as a limited practice participant for a second straight day on Friday. Smith apparently picked up several injuries in last Thursday's win over the Minnesota Vikings when he went off for four catches on five targets for 131 yards and a touchdown. Neither injury seems to be very serious, though, so the 24-year-old pass-catcher isn't in any real danger of sitting out of Monday's clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. A.J. Brown could get the squeaky wheel treatment in that one, but Smith remains a must-start in fantasy lineups as long as he's active. Through his first two games, he has 11 receptions on 15 targets for 178 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles.
