Unstoppable in Week 8 Metcalf recorded 12 receptions on 15 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8 against the 49ers.
Impact After being shut down for 23 total yards in Week 7, Metcalf exploded to top 100 receiving yards for the third time this season. While Metcalf continued to deliver splash plays -- he had a 36-yard touchdown and a 35-yard reception -- Metcalf's performance was notable because of the target share he commanded. Specifically, Metcalf's 15 targets was a career-high mark and only the fourth time in his career that he's been targeted more than 10 times in a contest. While Tyler Lockett and Metcalf will likely continue to take turns as the top receiver in the Seahawks passing attack, Metcalf has managed to rack up 680 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in seven games. He'll look to keep up that impressive pace in Week 9 against the Bills.

Mistakes cost Seahawks in 37-34 overtime loss to Cardinals
Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson traded long throws and scrambling runs all night, putting on a prime-time show in the desertOCTOBER 26, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Quiet besides TD-saving tackle Metcalf caught two of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Something about the Cardinals seems to bring Metcalf back down to earth. He produced just one reception for six yards over two games against the division rivals last year, and the second-year pro was stymied again after a brilliant start to the season. While he barely made a dent on offense, Metcalf arguably made the play of the night. When Russell Wilson tossed an interception to Budda Baker at Arizona's goal line, Metcalf chased Baker down and tackled him at the three-yard line, saving a touchdown since the Cardinals ended up turning the ball over on downs. That may have been the finest display of Metcalf's game-breaking speed we've seen to date, and it's a strong reminder of why fantasy managers shouldn't be scared away by one underwhelming performance. The 22-year-old averaged 99.2 receiving yards per game and scored five total touchdowns before the Week 6 bye, and he'll look to get back on track against the 49ers next Sunday.
