Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett has hand surgery, could return Week 17

Dec 20, 2022

Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett underwent surgery on his hand Monday, coach Pete Carroll announced. Lockett could return as soon as Week 17.

Carroll called the surgery “perfect.”

Related players: Marquise Goodwin, Penny Hart, Dareke Young, D.K. Metcalf

Fantasy Impact:

Lockett broke his finger in last Thursday’s loss to the 49ers. He has 78 receptions for 964 yards and eight touchdowns this season. With Lockett out, Metcalf should be the top target with Goodwin likely stepping into the WR2 role and he may be worth a look if he's still on your wire.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
