DK Metcalf is your 1.01 now.

hoping Carroll retires this year

I always laugh when I read these fantasy football nerds (we all are) complain about Pete Carroll. Like he is a terrible fantasy football coach...how dare he not get Penny the ball or let Russell Wilson throw 60 times a game to pad our precious fantasy PPR stats.
In reality, he is an excellent American tackle football coach. Playing tackle football is something I think very few on this forum know anything about. In fact, I don't think many NFL fans actually know what playing football is about. They just know fantasy. Rant over.

DK Metcalf outlook looks good. I wouldn't be too worried about Gordon, he perhaps eats into Metcalf playing time this year, but long term he is no issue.

Monster game today.

Monster game today.

He had a couple near misses as well ..l I loved his usage today. Of course Lockett caught 13 of 18 targets. He was 11 of 13 at one poi;t. Just filthy.

It's unlikely that two WRs see those target counts game to game moving forward in that offense - but if they do, Wilson is definitely the guy to get them there and is probably going to win MVP at this rate.

That said, Metcalf looks good.

what is there to develop? I think getting targets and letting your all-world QB throw more would be a good way to develop. If you mean as a person/adult/professional then I don't know how to judge that from my couch but Pete does seem supportive.

Anyways, anyone want to predict the impact of Gordon? I know he's a FA to be so hopefully not much long-term but it's not like the depth guys on SEA were stepping up. I wonder if it could create a buy window

Development-wise, the Seahawks under Carroll have a pretty damn strong track record of developing WRs who've come into the league as severely incomplete players, and making the most of them. An even better record of that on the defensive end. That's stood out to me because for most teams, a developmental project signing there is a death-rattle.

are you counting doug baldwin because he was a UDFA? I don't think this remotely applies to him and can't think of anyone else you are referring to

I'm not a Seahawk fan but Pete certainly gets ragged by the analytics community (deservedly so) for how he manages his team. At the same time, this is a dynasty fantasy forum, why should I care how good of an actual football coach he is? Pete Carroll has had Russell Wilson for 8 years and has had a top 5 offense one time. I'm also a fan of the sport first and Russ to DK is a lot of fun to watch. Less Pete = more Russ. No hard feelings, I wish him a long and happy retirement

Ice (and other Metcalf fans),

Just stumbled across this tweet and thought you might get enjoyment out of it (if you had not already seen it):

https://twitter.com/MattWaldman/status/ ... 5779368966

Thanks, I am not a twitter user but enjoyed the quick read.

DK as a rookie is exceeding expectations. He is an obvious legit red zone threat on a very conservative offense:

I expected around 8 or so TD’s this season with some upside.

People do like to bash this player for a variety of reason from health, experience, and route running but what should be obvious to everyone is the fact he is developing as a player and Wilson is certainly looking his way with confidence when scores are needed.

The future looks very bright for DK. His upside should be obvious at this point to everyone that is studying his play.

Looking forward to seeing his development over the next few years as he matures and develops his rare skill sets.

The Seahawks organization has to be very pleased overall with their selection.

Since you liked the last one - here is another one

Personally I have no problems with anyone who makes a hot take - as long as they own it when they are wrong.

Agree! Thanks!

Obviously, Wilson is a beast of a QB and trusts DK. DK's talent was on full display yesterday; He showed excellent gear changes in his routes and acceleration on the TD was scary good. That back shoulder catch in overtime was an outstanding ball adjustment and he set the team up to win with very good awareness late in regulation but for a missed field goal.

DK is up to a top 20 fantasy WR YTD with 536 total yards and 5 TD's with a couple of 2 pointers thrown in for good measure.

DK is a still a rookie and making mistakes but his growth as a WR is evident and exciting. He ran excellent routes yesterday and fortunately for him he has a great QB that is giving DK every opportunity to showcase his talents.

Can we get him to re run the 3 cone to see if it has improved?

Too funny.

Although I have always been curious about what metrics would look like if the players were tested every year rather than just at the Combine.

Seriously, line all the guys up every year in training camp. We would have so much data at that point and way too much time on our hands in the off-season to over analyze

They’d never do that (no one would want opponents to see the numbers) but it’d be cool to see the numbers especially for guys like Hollywood who missed pre-draft testing w/injuries.

Ya at least do a competition maybe. I was having the debate about Hollywood vs Tyreek in a race today. Would pay to see it

Even DK would probably laugh at that!

True, since Hollywood did not run the 40, they cannot even run the 2 tapes side by side as a comparison. Maybe they could be talked into it as a charity race.

Anyways Ice - I figure this is pretty obvious but would you agree that having Metcalf allows for an even more productive Wilson to Lockett connection? IE Metcalf & Lockett complement / benefit each other?
