DK Metcalf Absent As Week 3 Preparation Begins

Thursday, September 19, 12:24 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (hand) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. The star pass-catcher bounced back from a quiet season opener by catching 10 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown last Sunday. Now, as the Seahawks begin preparation for Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins, Metcalf is nursing an injury. As of now, it's too early to say whether he might miss Sunday's contest. It's possible Seattle is being extra cautious with Metcalf and just giving him extra time to rest or heal. On the other hand, it's always a concern when a player misses practice. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as NFL Sunday gets closer. If he plays, he's a strong WR2 option.

Treylon Burks News

Treylon Burks Practicing Thursday

Thursday, August 22, 2:33 PM

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan says wide receiver Treylon Burks (undisclosed) is fine, and that it was good to see him bounce back after a hard fall on Wednesday in practice. Burks participated in practice on Thursday, so he should be good to go for the Titans in Sunday's preseason finale against the hosting New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome. Although the 24-year-old former first-round pick had a lost 2023 season due to injury and DeAndre Hopkins' (knee) arrival in Tennessee's receiving corps, he's handling additional first-team reps with Hopkins currently sidelined. Burks is a decent late-round flier as a WR5/6 pick for fantasy managers in 12-team leagues at the moment, but he'll likely fade back to irrelevance once Hopkins is healthy.
