Tyler Lockett's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's match against the New York Jets. The veteran wideout was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to turn in a full session on Friday. The 32-year-old has taken a step back this season, as he has only averaged 45.0 yards per game and is on pace to have one of the lowest yardage totals of his career. Over the past two weeks, he has tallied just 49 combined yards and caught just two passes in each game. Facing a tough Jets secondary that has allowed the fewest PPR points, fantasy managers should only view Lockett as a desperation flex play in PPR formats.

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) were non-participants for the second straight day, according to Rich Cimini. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to their status during Friday's practice session as they both could be in danger of missing Sunday's game if they cannot log any practice session. Metcalf returned in Week 11 after a two-game absence due to a knee injury, while Lockett has yet to miss any time this season. Metcalf typically sees the majority of targets every week in the Seattle passing attack. Lockett has seen only three targets in each of the past two games and has moved down to the clear No.3 role in the offense. If either wideout is in danger of missing Sunday's game, Jaxon Smith-Njigba would be in store for an increase in opportunities.

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) were both listed as DNPs at Wednesday's practice. The Seahawks still have two days of practice left this week, but fantasy managers should keep their eyes open for Metcalf's and Lockett's status over the next couple of days as the Week 13 contest against the New York Jets on Sunday approaches. Metcalf missed two game with an MCL sprain recently but returned the last two weeks to catch 11 of 14 targets for 129 yards and no touchdowns. Second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is having a breakout season, would be the biggest beneficiary in Seattle's offense if one or both of Metcalf and/or Lockett are inactive this weekend. Metcalf is a must-start in fantasy anytime he's healthy, while Lockett has become the clear No. 3 in Seattle in 2024 and is a boom/bust WR4/flex option these days.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is now completely off the fantasy radar. He has not earned more than four targets since Week 7, and he has now caught just two passes in two consecutive games. Quarterback Geno Smith's attention seems to have shifted from Lockett to fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba who has emerged in recent weeks. The Seahawks have also toned down their passing volume which has shrunk the amount of targets available for each of the skill position players on the team. It is encouraging that Lockett was the target on an end zone interception for Smith. However, had the two connected, it still would not signal brighter days ahead for Lockett. Lockett has seemingly aged out of fantasy relevance. If anything were to happen to Smith-Njigba or DK Metcalf, Lockett would be a viable option. With those two players healthy, Lockett belongs on waivers at this point.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been a low-end flex option throughout most of the season. He checks in as such in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals, but it comes with a lot of risk. Lockett's usage out of the Seahawks' Week 10 bye was puzzling and could be prescriptive for the rest of the season. Lockett was clearly operating as the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. In his last three games played, Lockett has only averaged 3.3 targets per game after averaging 6.6 targets per game over his first seven games. The emergence of wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a preferred target for quarterback Geno Smith is eating significantly into Lockett's volume. With the Seahawks switching to a less pass-heavy attack after the bye week, there may not be enough targets to go around for the Seahawks' top three wide receivers. With six teams on a bye this week, Lockett is still a risky flex play.
