Metcalf drew an 80-yard TD from Rodgers in a reminder of his big-play capability; his production remains a barometer for Seattle's offense and a reminder that big plays emerge even amid protection concerns.

Metcalf’s after‐catch burst produced the week’s highest graded reception (+2.0) as he outlasted diving tackles, outran defenders, and sealed the score. His tackling‐break and closing speed reinforce his big‐play upside and make him a core lineup asset in weeks with strong rushing defenses.

Metcalf exploded in Week 4, averaging 5.73 yards per route run and hauling an 80-yard TD on a slant, delivering a 90.9 PFF receiving grade—the best stretch since 2020.

Metcalf comes up as a benchmark comparison for Austin’s on-field time; a reminder that high-volume targets and big-play ability drive fantasy value in wide receiver roles.

Metcalf posted a Week 2 TD and sits in a favorable usage pattern with high air-yard upside. PWOPR points to red-zone opportunity and contested-catch potential, especially when Seattle’s offense unlocks mismatches on the perimeter.
