Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) is optimistic he will be able to return in Week 9 to face the Los Angeles Rams according to Gregg Bell of the News Tribune. Metcalf was held out of action this past Sunday due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 7 and was unable to practice all week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression this week as a return to practice could suggest he will be able to suit up this weekend. Metcalf has been very productive through the first half of the season as he has totaled 568 yards and three scores on 35 receptions. After scoring just 5.9 PPR points in Week 1, Metcalf has gone on to average 17.3 PPR points since Week 2. Fantasy managers should lock the 26-year-old into their lineup as a high-end WR2 if returns this weekend.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is not appealing his two-game suspension and will miss the Week 8 game against the Tennessee Titans and Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers. Williams is being sidelined for violating the league's policy against performance-enhancing substances. This is an unfortunate development for the former Alabama wideout who is having the best season of his career. Through six games, Williams has racked up 17 receptions for 361 yards and three touchdowns. In his absence, wide receivers Kalif Raymond, Tim Patrick, and perhaps Allen Robinson II will see enhanced roles. That said, tight end Sam LaPorta and running back Jahmyr Gibbs could also see more targets. Amon-Ra St. Brown should remain the clear target hog in the Detroit offense led by Jared Goff.
Still trying to decide between Metcalf and Williams? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that D.K. Metcalf is projected to score 15.9 points this week while Jameson Williams is projected to score 0.0 points.
