Seahawks WR DK Metcalf is coming off his 2nd-straight, 1,000-yard season, and his 3rd in 4 years. Metcalf has been a picture of consistency in his 5-year career, never dropping below 900 receiving yards and never averaging less than 11 yards per reception.
Below, we look at DK Metcalf’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Entering 2024, Metcalf is expected to continue to be a very solid and very reliable WR, even with questionable QB play in Seattle.

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
Metcalf’s 37.90 ADP in redraft leagues puts him in the range of 4th to 5th round depending on the size of the league. His ADP ranks 2nd on the Seahawks; RB Kenneth Walker III (31.10) is 1st.
Among all wide receivers, Metcalf’s ADP puts him 19th at the position, behind Houston’s Stefon Diggs (37.61), Chicago’s D.J. Moore (35.65) and Diggs’ Texans teammate Nico Collins (33.85). Metcalf is just ahead of San Francisco’s Brandon Aiyuk (41.19), Giants rookie Malik Nabers (41.32) and Miami’s Jaylen Waddle (41.82).

Where should you draft Metcalf?
With the aging of WR Tyler Lockett, who turns 32 this September, Metcalf’s fantasy value should continue to increase from year to year.
Metcalf is a physical freak that can win any jump-ball situation and has the speed to blow past defenders with his size and strength to bounce off hits. He will continue to be valuable in all 3 levels of the passing Game, especially in the mid-range and deep-ball settings.
The worries with drafting Metcalf are the fact that he shares the field with Lockett, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and RB Walker, who will all take touches away from him in one way or another. The other concern with drafting Metcalf is Seattle’s QB play, which has been questionable each of the last 2 seasons with QB Geno Smith.
Draft Metcalf as a WR2. He is a more reliable fantasy option than some wideouts ahead of him, like Atlanta’s Drake London (31.13 ADP), and he is a guy that can go out and dominate at any time.
However, the concerns with Metcalf are real and there are far too many good receivers that will get more touches than Metcalf to recommend taking him as a WR1.
