BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) was finally able to practice in full on Wednesday. He missed his team's Week 8 and 9 games with an MCL sprain, and had a bye week in Week 10 to continue his rehab. The team had previously been optimistic about his return for Week 11.
Seahawks WR DK Metcalf was a full participant today in practice after missing two games with a knee injury. A sign that he'll be back on Sunday.

A full practice early in the week likely indicates that he'll have a full workload in the game, though his targets often fluctuate week-to-week. Still, he'll be the focal point of a productive passing game headed by quarterback Geno Smith, who leads the NFL in passing yards per game.

The sixth-year pro is still playing at his peak abilities, and will be a matchup nightmare for the opposing San Francisco 49ers secondary on Sunday. He's a ridiculous athlete, and possess incredible speed, burst, acceleration, and fluidity for being 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds.
He'll be a WR2 simply due to concerns that he could be somewhat limited by his injury, but he should be in starting lineups in all leagues for his upcoming contest. The ability to rip off long touchdowns, make huge downfield catches, and run away from even the fastest defenders makes him a must-start in fantasy leagues every week he takes the field.
