Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Continues to take back seat
Rotowire
Lockett recorded two catches (on three targets) for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-17 victory at San Francisco.
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.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Scores in OT loss
Rotowire
Lockett caught three of four targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams.
Lockett got the start in place of DK Metcalf (knee) and wound up catching his fourth touchdown of the season. The veteran receiver has posted a 34-456-2 receiving line through eight games as Seattle enters its bye week. Lockett has produced two strong fantasy games in place of the injured Metcalf, but the Seahawks' No. 1 wideout could return after the team's bye, so Lockett's outlook could take a slight hit against the 49ers on Nov. 17.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Lockett (oblique) was a full practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
After previously dealing with thigh and knee issues this season, Lockett was limited Wednesday by an oblique injury, but it didn't stop him from getting back to full participation one day later. With DK Metcalf still not practicing due to the MCL sprain that he suffered Week 7, there's a chance Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba again will highlight the Seahawks' receiving corps Sunday versus the Rams. In Week 8, though, Lockett didn't take advantage against the Bills defense, hauling in one of three targets for nine yards.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Tending to new health concern
Rotowire
Lockett was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an oblique injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Lockett spent the first month of the season as a regular on Seattle practice reports due to a lingering thigh issue and then tended to a knee injury during Week 7 prep, so the current health concern is a new one. He'll have two more sessions this week to return to full participation or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Rams.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Struggles with three targets
Rotowire
Lockett had one reception on three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to Buffalo.
Lockett got the start in place of the injured DK Metcalf (knee), but the results did not match his opportunity. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (6-69-0) wound up leading the Seahawks in receiving in a game during which the offense scored just one touchdown. Lockett will resume his role as the No. 2 or 3 receiver (pending Metcalf's availability) ahead of next Sunday's home tilt against the Rams.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Week 8 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Lockett could benefit if DK Metcalf (knee) is out in Week 8 against Buffalo, and Metcalf is considered week-to-week. Geno Smith leads the NFL in passing yards, so there's the chance for Lockett to be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues if his role expands. He has four games this season with at least 11.1 PPR points and four games with at least seven targets. I like Jaxon Smith-Njigba better than Lockett if Metcalf is out, but Lockett should be added in all leagues where available for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Week 8 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
If Tyler Lockett is available in your league, he's the top waiver add at any position this week. DK Metcalf is week-to-week with a knee injury, and Lockett has produced 10 more yards per game than Jaxon Smith-Njigba despite seeing one fewer target per game. Lockett's 8.3 yards per target is 2.5 yards better than Smith-Njigba. If they see even targets during Metcalf's absence, you should expect Lockett to produce more Fantasy points.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Four grabs in Week 7 win
Rotowire
Lockett secured four of six targets for 45 yards in the Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Lockett tied for the team lead in receptions and for second in targets, but it was a quiet afternoon for the veteran wideout overall. Lockett has been a steady yet similarly unremarkable performer through his first seven games, and he's topped out at five receptions and 75 yards in his last six contests. Lockett could be in line for a bigger role in a Week 8 home showdown against the Bills, given the matchup and the fact DK Metcalf exited Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury of to-be-determined severity.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Good to go
Rotowire
Lockett (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Lockett has missed practice time throughout the season, first with a thigh injury and now due to a minor problem with his knee. He's played in every game since December 2022 and will keep the streak going Sunday in a game featuring two of the NFL's fastest-paced offenses.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Dealing with knee issue
Rotowire
Lockett didn't practice Thursday due to a knee injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Lockett previously operated with the occasional cap on his practice reps from Weeks 1-5 due to a thigh issue, so his absence Thursday can be attributed to a new health concern. Considering he showed up on the Seahawks' injury report in the middle of the week, he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday's game in Atlanta. Still, Friday's report could provide some clarity on Lockett's chances to suit up this weekend.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Even though DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have the most upside of Seattle's receivers, Lockett continues to make plays. He just scored 16.5 PPR points in Week 6 against San Francisco, and he's scored at least 11.1 PPR points in all but two games this season, including three in a row. And he has at least eight targets in three of his past four games. He's worth adding in all leagues for 5 percent of your remaining FAB and can be used as a No. 3 receiver in Week 7 at Atlanta.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Paces pass catchers in loss
Rotowire
Lockett secured four of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 36-24 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.
Lockett's receiving yardage total paced the Seahawks on the night, and he was also the only Seattle pass catcher to find the end zone. The veteran receiver's impressive nine-yard grab in the back of the end zone late in the fourth quarter gave the Seahawks brief hope by narrowing their deficit to five points and also served as Lockett's first touchdown of the campaign. The 10th-year pro heads into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons with a four-game streak of at least four receptions and six targets.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Lockett has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in three of five games this season, including two in a row against the Lions and Giants. He's still contributing even with DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba having solid starts to the year, and Lockett can be used as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 6 against the 49ers. He's worth adding in all leagues for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Good to go
Rotowire
Lockett (thigh) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Lockett has been listed on the injury report for four out of five games so far, but he hasn't had a game designation since Week 1 and has played more than half of the available snaps in each game. While Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been getting a few more routes and targets than Lockett on average, Lockett's 80 percent route share and 17 percent target share for the season are respectable numbers, keeping him in play as a lineup option for deep leagues if nothing else.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Stays limited Thursday
Rotowire
Lockett (thigh) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Lockett is enduring practice limitations due to a thigh injury for a fourth week out of a possible five to kick off the campaign. So far, the issue hasn't stopped him from being available on game days, resulting in a cumulative 18-199-0 line on 26 targets in four contests. Friday's injury report ultimately may clear Lockett ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Lockett (thigh) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Lockett's health concern from training camp lingered all the way through Week 3 prep, but he was listed as a full participant on all three practice reports last week. The thigh injury now is back and hindering his amount of on-field work as the Seahawks gear up to face the Giants on Sunday. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Lockett enters the weekend with a designation for that contest.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Lockett has 17 targets in his past two games, and he's not going away despite DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba also having prominent roles. Now, Geno Smith just threw 56 passes in Week 4 at Detroit, so that helped Lockett get a season-high nine targets against Detroit. But with the bye weeks here and Lockett still heavily involved, he could be used as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues. Lockett is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.
Lockett posted five catches (on nine targets) for 61 yards during Monday's 42-29 loss at Detroit.
In a game in which QB Geno Smith put up a career-high 56 pass attempts for 395 yards, no Seahawks pass catcher had more than Jaxon Smith-Njigba's eight receptions, and DK Metcalf led the team with 104 receiving yards. Lockett himself unsurprisingly saw a season-best target count, but he has yet to score a touchdown on the campaign, and his weekly output so far hasn't been something to write home about. Lockett will attempt to make some inroads on Metcalf and Smith-Njigba this coming Sunday against the Giants.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
I'm expecting DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to have big games in Week 4 at Detroit, but Lockett can be considered a low-end starter in three-receiver leagues as well. He has two games this season with at least seven targets, and this is a favorable matchup against the Lions, who are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. In two games at Detroit in each of the past two seasons, Lockett combined for 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown, and he scored at least 15.1 PPR points in each outing. While I like Metcalf and Smith-Njigba more, Lockett could be a surprise Fantasy option also, given the matchup.

Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Leads team with eight targets
Rotowire
Lockett (thigh) garnered eight targets in Sunday's 24-7 win that resulted in five receptions for 46 yards against the Dolphins.
Lockett was cleared of a minor thigh injury prior to Sunday's win, and he led the team in targets with a solid fantasy showing for PPR managers. Seattle's veteran wideout has yet to score a touchdown through three games, but he has recorded 13 receptions for 138 yards. Lockett remains a reliable fantasy option heading into next Monday's tilt against the Lions.
