TylerLockett

News: 5 days agoLockett recorded two catches (on three targets) for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-17 victory at San Francisco.

Spin: QB Geno Smith attempted 32 passes Week 11, which typically would provide enough volume for the Seahawks' primary pass catchers to have fruitful outings. However, Jaxon Smith-Njigba (10-110-0 on 11 targets) and DK Metcalf (7-70-0 on nine targets) dominated Smith's attention, leaving scraps behind for the likes of Lockett. Smith also failed to throw a TD for the second time in 10 appearances this season, so Lockett wasn't able to salvage his day with an end-zone visit. Lockett will aim to bounce back next Sunday against the Cardinals.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: It was assumed that after nine seasons in Seattle and on the heels of Pete Carroll's departure, Lockett would land with a different squad in 2024. But the organization was motivated to keep the team together, re-signing Lockett to a two-year deal worth $34 million. Failing to clear 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in four years and recording a career-low 11.3 YPR (WR71), Lockett is unlikely to deliver better than WR3 numbers for fantasy purposes. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's presence further lowers Lockett's ceiling. Still, he's a valued vet with a solid floor, and he should remain a stabilizing presence in Seattle and for fans of the virtual game this season.
