Will DK Metcalf play vs. the Bills in Week 8?

Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what Steve and DK Network’s Garion Thorne – filling in for Meghan – have to say about this latest injury to DK Metcalf (knee).

After missing two straight days of practice this week and earning a doubtful tag on Friday, don’t expect DK Metcalf to play on Sunday. However, in a game against Josh Allen ($7,800) and a loaded Bills offense, Geno Smith ($5,900) will likely need to keep up through the air.

If Metcalf can’t take the field, which Seahawks receiver is best set up for success? Garion (@GarionThorne) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) shared their thoughts on Seattle’s wideouts for Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:

  • Even if Metcalf is good to go, he’s a fade against a Bills secondary that has given up the fourth-lowest passing yards per attempt (6.4) this season.
  • Buffalo has had some difficulty defending slot receivers, which makes Jaxon Smith-Njigba ($6,100) a good play this week.
  • While he isn’t as explosive anymore, Tyler Lockett ($5,600) still has the 24th-most targets in the NFL. Garion thinks the veteran should be involved on Sunday, especially if the Seahawks find themselves trailing in the second half.
