Fantasy Upside
Tyler Lockett had a very good second half of the season, averaging 12.9 PPG (PPR) from Week 10 through 15 before he broke his leg. He has recovered so now he has a chance to solidify his role as the No. 2 receiver behind Doug Baldwin, which could mean an increase in his overall numbers entering his third season.
Fantasy Downside
Paul Richardson and Jermaine Kearse will also be vying for those snaps and targets. Lockett is not a runaway second receiver for the Seahawks and there is also the fact Jimmy Graham has finally become a comfortable weapon for QB Russell Wilson. Despite big-play capability, Lockett only had one touchdown in 2016, after scoring four his rookie season.
2017 Bottom Line
Lockett has an ADP of 149, and although he is still the second Seattle WR off the board, he only ranks as our WR53. There are too many other options for the 'Hawks to think Lockett will increase his numbers. If you do select him, he should be your fourth or fifth receiver, and provide you with decent production some, especially in PPR leagues, but not on a consistent basis.
