The Seattle Seahawks will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR DK Metcalf.

Is DK Metcalf Playing in Week 15?
Metcalf has been navigating a nagging shoulder injury, but it’s nothing that will keep him out of games. On Thursday, he was downgraded from full to limited practice, but it’s nothing to be concerned about. This has been the routine. He was back to a full participant on Friday. Metcalf will play this week.

Should You Start or Sit DK Metcalf in Week 15?
This Seattle offense can sustain two receivers, and with Tyler Lockett trending out of favor, Metcalf isn’t at serious risk of falling out of your lineup.
That said, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is now my default WR1 for the Seahawks, and I think his skill set is much safer than Metcalf’s in this specific matchup on Sunday night. The Packers own the highest deep interception rate through 14 weeks, a strength that could (should) have Geno Smith favoring the quick hitters as opposed to the chunk plays.
Metcalf hasn’t cleared 60 receiving yards since October, introducing a level of risk that most don’t assume when evaluating this beast. He’s a fringe top-20 player at the position for me, checking just behind Calvin Ridley and Jauan Jennings.
