D.K. Metcalf has been ruled out for the Seahawks' upcoming game against the Rams due to a knee injury. Despite initial optimism for his return, he did not progress as expected. This absence opens up opportunities for other receivers on the team, particularly Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett, and tight end Noah Fant, who are likely to see increased targets. Jake Bobo will step in as Metcalf's replacement but is considered a risky option for fantasy lineups.
- D.K. Metcalf's absence creates opportunities for other Seahawks receivers.
