Here’s our expert outlook and rankings for Tyler Lockett.
I can’t cultivate a likely scenario where the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver accrues any type of worthwhile fantasy value in 2021. He is turning 30 years old this season and finds him in a situation with Geno Smith/Drew Lock at quarterback. Lockett’s infamous for his roller coaster production – four top-5 finishes, seven outside the top-36 in 2021 – and I expect no less based on his current situation in 2022. The major difference being the bad games will be more frequent than ever with the massive QB downgrade. Lockett averaged just 9.0 fantasy points per game (47th) without Wilson last season. With Lockett competing for targets alongside Metcalf in a run-heavy offense, he looks like a straight-up fade unless his ADP falls dramatically.
