DK Metcalf #FantasyFootball Profile




DK Metcalf - Fantasy Football Profile 
By THE FANTASY TYPHOON
Over 12 years experience


I understand that everyone is high on DK Metcalf and they should be.
 
• 6'4" / 229lbs Dec 14, 1997 / 22 in his second year
• Big bodied X - year one - they master the art of my ball go routes and slants
• He proved that and mastered everything that was given to him
• Let me explain the X a little further. He is the X in a traditional pro set offense
• He is a HUGE part of the offense because he will be doubled
• Its the RB X WR and TE who are the target/red zone hogs in this type system
• The traditional pro set evolved from the T formation where you had the Y U (2TE) QB 2 RB and a FB its design is for the run because there are no WR’s on the field
• Back in the old days the rules changed and catered more towards passing (sounds familiar)
• So the 3rd RB became the Z and the U TE became the X ISO and the most important pass catcher
• The X’s job is to create running space for the RB with his dominance on the boundary
• This is why by default he is the number one target on the team with no debate
• DK got 100 targets and caught 58 for 900 with 7 touchdowns. This is great for a rookie
• The traditional pro set yields 1200+ with 10+ year in and year out when ran right because it has to
• I look for an uptick from DK because he will be asked to do more and more with more targets to help Chris Carson gain more yards. It all works together
• This is by design or scheme and nothing else. DK just fits perfectly
Hes coming off the board at the 5.2 in FFPC ppr redraft but his real value is in dynasty
• Guys like Metcalf are a dying breed. They don’t make them like this anymore
• Out of all 32 teams there are about 12 BALLERS at X and they score HUGE for fantasy. Count DK in. He’s a young Julio Jones in Seattle. DK will be used the same
• The X WR is getting smaller and shiftier in the new age NFL
• Look at Houston they shipped off their X and replaced him with a smaller faster Cooks – It's the new NFL
• Wrap this up with a smart organization stable coaching staff stability by not learning a new play book every year and a front office that's always adding talent to help him.
• With someone winning there has to be a loser and in this case - Tyler Lockett
Tyler Lockett will soon be phased out and replaced so they can pay DK the big bucks when its time - Lockett's guaranteed money dissolves at the end of the 2021 season so smart Lockett owners will be out by then.
Dynasty outlook year three or next year you should really see him being comfortable and dominating the league and a force for years to come.
