Tyler Lockett Week 9 Outlook - Rams at Seahawks

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 31st 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Lockett looks like a wide receiver on the back nine of his NFL career as the WR51 in fantasy points per game. He has earned a 13.9% target share with 1.55 YPRR and an 18% first-read share. Among 98 qualifying wide receivers, he ranks 55th in separation and 67th in route win rate. However, this week's matchup could help boost his season-long numbers. The Rams have the eighth-highest single-high rate (58.2%). Against single-high, Lockett has seen his YPRR climb to 1.75. Los Angeles' struggles have been mainly against perimeter wide receivers, as they have allowed the fifth-highest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to the position. Lockett gets a boost in the flex ranks this week.
