Fantasy Football breakout players in 2020: NFC West

Pairing any wide receiver with Russell Wilson is a recipe for success. Watch this second year receiver breakout even more than he did during his rookie campaign.

DK Metcalf (currently ranked as: WR22): DK is an athletic freak. He displayed that in his rookie season every week with flashes of speed, size and athleticism that few have been able to duplicate. Metcalf finished his rookie season with an impressive 11 catches for 219 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks two playoff games. I expect DK to build on his rookie season and only become better. Metcalf was very limited in 2019 in terms of his route tree. He wasn’t a great route runner but he was still able to beat people with his sheer size and speed.

In 2020, DK will be much improved. He will be someone that all defenses need to account for, or else they will pay the price. Metcalf will be a sure-fire top 15 WR with potential to break into the top 10 based on opportunity. Not to mention, DK is a likable guy and I found it easy to root for his success. If you can get him onto your team at his current price, do it. You will be thanking me later.
