The Vikings are a particularly interesting matchup for the big-bodied field stretcher. While Geno Smith is likely to seek out his short-area targets if the Vikings' blitz regularly bests the Seahawks' offensive line, the blitz could also provide Metcalf with one-on-one opportunities downfield. The explosive playmaker could rip off multiple long gains in this one. He is a WR2.
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee) remained a full participant in Thursday's practice, and he had his best weapons back with him.

Metcalf (shoulder) was a full practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Metcalf didn't practice at all Wednesday, but it appears to just be maintenance as the Seahawks do their best to keep the wideout healthy for the final few weeks. It seems likely that Metcalf will be on the field for Week 16 against the Vikings, but it's worth noting it's been five games since Metcalf has found the end zone and he hasn't gone over 100 yards since September 30.
