Scouting report

SEA WR Tyler Lockett - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Pittsburgh
A very strange opener for No. 1 receiver Tyler Lockett. He was only targeted twice in the game and even with that, the day wasn't a disaster. His only catch was a 44 -yard touchdown. We don't expect this to be the norm so don't panic if Lockett is your WR1 or WR2.

The Steelers are up next for the 'Hawks and Pittsburgh is 12th in aFPA to wide receivers after one game. It should be a better day for Lockett, but not a breakout game.

Start Lockett Week 2 as a low-end WR2 and expect a lot more targets against a Steelers secondary that can be challenged. The overall numbers should be better.

SEA WR Tyler Lockett - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Cincinnati
Tyler Lockett takes over the No. 1 receiver spot for QB Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. Doug Baldwin has retired and that should increase Lockett's targets. He has the potential to be a WR1 during this season if he stays healthy.

For Week 1, Lockett faces a Bengals defense that was ranked 11th in aFPA to wide receivers. We expect Cincy to take a step back with their secondary. We also expect Lockett to be Wilson's main red zone target. He scored 10 touchdowns last season and that is possible in 2019.

We like Lockett moving forward, but for Week 1, we only rate him a high-end WR2. He should start in all leagues but he won't be as much a stud in the opener as Seattle will probably run the ball a lot against Cincinnati's poor run defense.

SEA WR Tyler Lockett - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Tyler Lockett set career-highs in everything last year and in 2019, there is no doubt he will be the No. 1 receiver for QB Russell Wilson with the retirement of Doug Baldwin. Lockett had the fifth most touchdowns (10) of any wide receiver in the NFL and was just shy of the 1,000 receiving yard mark, which was 300 more yards than his previous career-high. He also had three touchdown receptions that were over 50 yards, and was sixth in the NFL in yards per catch.

Fantasy Downside
The focus will be on Lockett this season as the No. 1 receiver. Opposing defenses will be paying more attention to him. It is also questionable whether he can repeat the numbers even as the No. 1 receiver. The Seahawks will run the ball a lot this season again and the passing game could suffer if the long balls don’t happen as they did in 2018.

2019 Bottom Line
Lockett put up some good numbers in 2018 and he should put up similar ones this season. His receptions and yardage should go up slightly, but we aren’t as confident that he is going to get double-digit touchdowns again. Lockett has been going around the fifth or sixth rounds and ranks a low-end WR2 at this point. If you can get him as your third receiver, you are really getting good value.

SEA WR Tyler Lockett - Week 18 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 18 at Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Lockett scored his first touchdown in four games which could be a good sign. He was a touchdown machine at the beginning of the year including scoring one against Dallas in the first meeting this season between the two teams.

The Cowboys pass defense has been tough in 2018, ranked eighth in aFPA to wide receivers. Lockett will have some impact but it could also be the other receiver Doug Baldwin who is the focus of the passing game. Lockett is a decent play Week 18, but not the best.

SEA WR Tyler Lockett - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Tyler Lockett had four receptions for 99 yards last week and has been a beneficiary of a solid Seattle passing game. The downside is he has not scored a touchdown since Week 13. We expect the Seahawks to play to win on Sunday even though they have already clinched a playoff spot.

Arizona is up next and is ranked 24th in aFPA to wide receivers. Lockett had five catches for 53 yards in the first meeting this season with the Cardinals. We expect slightly better numbers at home this week so start Lockett as a solid WR2 for Week 17.

SEA WR Tyler Lockett - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Tyler Lockett has been quiet over the past two games including the touchdown column, as he was held out of the end zone over that stretch. QB Russell Wilson has been spreading the ball around more which has been one of the issues as Lockett's targets have been low for a potential No. 1 receiver.

That could all change this Sunday night as the Chiefs are up next and are ranked 21st in aFPA to wide receivers. Lockett remains a player who should be in your starting lineup but the targets are worrisome so make it as a WR2 for Week 16.

SEA WR Tyler Lockett - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at San Francisco 49ers

With Doug Baldwin banged up, Tyler Lockett remains the No.1 receiving target for the Seahawks. The problem is the Seattle passing game has been in a slump and of course that affects Lockett. Seattle only had 72 passing yards last week and Lockett had 42 of them.

We don't expect Seattle's passing game to stay down for long. The 49ers are up next and are ranked 29th in aFPA to wide receivers. That should help. Start Lockett as a solid WR2 for Week 15.
