TylerLockett

News: 11 hours agoLockett brought in five of six targets for 44 yards in the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

Spin: Playing in only his second game as a Raider, Lockett and Geno Smith reignited their well-established connection from their time in Seattle during the narrow loss. Lockett led the Raiders in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night with figures that were also season highs. Whether Lockett's enhanced role in Las Vegas' first game without the traded Jakobi Meyers has any staying power remains to be seen, but he'll have a matchup conducive to carrying over the momentum when the Cowboys pay a visit to Las Vegas on Monday night, Nov. 17 for a Week 11 interconference clash.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Lockett signed with the Titans after spending his first 10 seasons in Seattle. The 2015 third-round pick peaked with five consecutive top-16 fantasy campaigns from 2018 to 2022, but slipped to 32nd in 2023 before plummeting to 66th last season. Lockett's role drastically declined last season (74 targets after 107-plus the prior five years), which led to his worst showings in catches, yards and TDs since 2017. While he's expected to operate as Tennessee's No. 2 receiver behind Calvin Ridley, Lockett is now 32 years old and will be working with a rookie quarterback in Cam Ward. He's worth no more than a late flier.
