Tyler Lockett Week 1 Outlook - Broncos at Seahawks

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 7th 2024, 1:05am EDT

Lockett continued his downward trend last year. His YPRR has dropped in each of the last three seasons, with last year's mark being his lowest since 2017. Last year, he managed a WR37 finish in fantasy points per game while ranking 40th in receiving yards per game and 36th in first downs per route run. Last year, Denver ranked 11th in single-high usage (55.8%). Last year, against single-high, Lockett had a 20.7% target share, 1.67 YPRR, a 25% first-read share, and 0.086 FD/RR. Lockett could remain the second option against single high this year behind Metcalf, but my money is on Smith-Njigba taking over that role. He practiced on a limited basis all week before getting upgraded to full on walkthrough Friday.
