Is Marquise Brown a Top 5 receiver in the NFC West?
By Sion Fawkes
1 - DK Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks
And finally, we got DK Metcalf, who led the Seahawks with 90 catches and 1,048 receiving yards this past season. Metcalf also finished second on the team in touchdown receptions with six, and he’s proving to everyone that he should warrant consideration as a Top 5 receiver in the game.
Metcalf will once again lead the Seahawks passing attack, though he and Lockett may see some competition with incoming rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba. If Smith-Njigba performs as advertised, then it is likely that we will see him break into several rookie and receiver rankings, especially with someone like Metcalf and Lockett drawing attention away from him.
Even if Metcalf doesn’t enjoy the same type of productive season because of Smith-Njigba's presence, it doesn’t mean he’s having a down year. Instead, it’s because he’s opening things up for the rookie receiver. And that should go to show you just how much opposing defenses, Arizona Cardinals or any of the other 31 teams, must respect Metcalf.
