3. WRs Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf vs. the Minnesota Vikings

Perhaps the best wide receiver duo in the entire NFL is poised for another great game in Week 3 when the Seattle Seahawks take on the Minnesota Vikings, where Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf will carve this defense to pieces.

The Vikings found themselves in a shootout with the Cardinals, allowing 400 yards and four total touchdowns to Kyler Murray. With the Seahawks’ offense posing a similarly explosive threat, look for another shootout in Week 3.

Lockett and Metcalf have proven time and time again that they can both be fantasy relevant — and dominant — on any given week. That should again be the case in this Week 3 matchup.

Both of these wideouts are top-20 plays with safe floors. If you can afford both of them in your daily fantasy lineups, go for it.
