    DK Metcalf has a juicy matchup against Giants defense in fantasy football for Week 5

    By Tim Weaver,

    The Seattle Seahawks offense has looked incredibly impressive at times so far this season. Geno Smith, Ken Walker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf have all had some quality outings. As of yet they haven't played a complete game, though. Several players have mentioned this past week that the offense hasn't hit its full potential yet, and they're right on the money. That's good news for fantasy football owners of star wide receiver DK Metcalf , who has a particularly juicy matchup going up against the New York Giants tomorrow.

    Metcalf is coming off a strong outing against a very tough Detroit Lions defense, posting seven catches and 104 receiving yards, his third straight game with at least 100. That's a franchise record and also a break-through for consistency in Metcalf's production. There's good reason to believe he hasn't hit his personal ceiling yet, either.

    DK Metcalf matchup vs. Giants

    Metcalf's fantasy scoring could be actually significantly higher, if not for a few unfortunate officiating miscues.

    Last week DK was robbed of a two-point conversion when the officials did not review the play. He was also blatantly interfered with in the end zone on another non-catch against the Lions. That's eight points right there in just one game. Some errors by right guard Anthony Bradford have also cost Metcalf more points earlier in the season.

    Look for a big line from number 14 on Sunday, the only question being if the game will be too far gone for Metcalf to really drop some points in the second half.
