Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or Justin Jefferson

Sunday, December 8, 7:29 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf finished second on the team in targets with six in Week 14. He only caught four passes for 49 yards. Metcalf has historically not had the best games against the Arizona Cardinals and that continued in Week 14. Seattle's passing game continues to run primarily through fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Metcalf has not exceeded 70 receiving yards or caught a touchdown since Week 7. He has played second fiddle to Smith-Njigba consistently, but the connection between quarterback Geno Smith and Metcalf has simply not been the same over the last several weeks. Metcalf started the season as a top-10 wide receiver in fantasy but has faded to flex value since he returned from a sprained MCL in Week 11. The Seahawks need Metcalf to produce in order to fully unlock their offense. As such, he is always a good bet to bounce back. He will have a tough task to do so in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in all seven of his targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14's 42-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The 25-year-old hadn't hit pay dirt since Week 7 but made up for that in a big way on Sunday with a massive performance. Minnesota's offense was clicking on all cylinders this afternoon as quarterback Sam Darnold tossed five touchdowns against a hapless Falcons defense. It was Jefferson's first two-touchdown performance since Week 4 of 2023. The first of which was a leaping 12-yard grab in the end zone as he ran a pristine route, shaking his defender just enough to offer a window of separation. His second of the day was far easier, as a blown coverage by the Falcons left the superstar receiver wide-open for a 52-yard score. Jefferson will square off against the Chicago Bears again in Week 15. In their last meeting, he was held to 27 yards and two receptions on five targets.
