Since Metcalf is not given the green light to play on Sunday, fantasy managers should avoid drafting him for Week 8.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald provided an update on Metcalf on Friday and suggested that the player could be a game-time decision for the matchup against Buffalo.

“It’s doubtful right now for the game. It’s not out of the question, 100%, yet,” Macdonald said after Metcalf missed Friday's practice. “So we’ll take it to Sunday and then go from there.”

As per reports, Metcalf sprained his MCL in Seattle's Week 7 victory against the Atlanta Falcons. He was hit by Falcons safety Justin Simmons and landed hard on the turf on his left knee. The Seahawks wideout was carted off in the fourth quarter.

Metcalf is enjoying another strong season with the Seahawks thus far. He has racked up 568 yards on 35 receptions and caught three touchdowns across seven games. It remains to be seen whether the Seattle receiver will get a chance to build on those numbers in Week 8 against the Bills.

Metcalf has tallied 105.8 fantasy points this season, averaging 15.1 points per game.
