Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or Tank Dell

Monday, October 28, 1:30 PM

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.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell found the end zone on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, the highlight of a day that included four catches for 35 yards. The second-year receiver caught all four of his targets, and unlike last week, hauled in a red-zone pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud for a seven-yard touchdown. Elsewhere, fellow wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) left the game with what appeared to be a serious injury. Top receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) is currently on injured reserve, so fantasy managers will have to monitor Houston's injury reports this week. Dell and the Texans take on the New York Jets in Week 9.
