Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or Malik Nabers

Friday, October 11, 11:19 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf had a poor game on Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Metcalf finished the game with three receptions for 48 yards. Metcalf had been cruising this season and entered the game as the WR11 in fantasy. However, the 49ers more or less dominated the Seahawks and limited Metcalf's upside. Metcalf also had a couple of near-miss touchdowns in this game. Unfortunately, Metcalf's performance will set fantasy managers back heading into the weekend. However, there should be no panic or concern over his performance. Quarterback Geno Smith still threw for over 300 yards and Metcalf earned eleven targets. His catch rate was abysmal, but that kind of volume is sure to continue to translate to fantasy points. Metcalf will look to get back on track in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion, hamstring) was evaluated by an independent neurologist on Thursday and has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Nabers was also listed with a hamstring injury on Thursday, but he practiced in full after being limited on Wednesday and should be in the clear to play this Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. It's great news for Nabers' fantasy managers and the Giants offense in general, as the 21-year-old contributed 35 receptions on 52 targets for 386 yards and three touchdowns in his first four NFL games. Nabers, the sixth overall pick in April out of LSU, should be reinserted into starting fantasy lineups on Sunday after missing the last two games with a concussion.
