DK Metcalf has to re-earn his WR1 status

Week 11 was a highlight reel of the NFL’s best receivers, and with the Seattle Seahawks on bye, they were left out of the fun.

It also served to highlight something that’s been true of the Seahawks for a long time. It’s been largely ignored, in part because it’s a bit unsavory to discuss.

DK Metcalf makes all the money, gets the gifs, but he doesn’t make some of the plays we saw this week. It’s not his game, and in reality he’s on the verge of living in a world of hype that was appropriate for his first and second seasons but not anymore.
