Fantasy Upside
Tyler Lockett made eight starts during his rookie season. Sometimes he was QB Russell Wilson's favorite target and sometimes he disappeared, but that's not all that surprising for a first-year WR. Lockett caught 51 passes, 664 yards and 6 TDs. Expect those numbers to go up as he should be the No. 2 for Seattle this season. He played 61% of the snaps, but that number should go up and he should surpass Jermaine Kearse.
Fantasy Downside
You were never sure who was going to have the big game for Seattle with Wilson at QB until the second half of last season when Doug Baldwin emerged as the clear No. 1. Even though the Seahawks have talked about getting Lockett more involved, Kearse would still be in that No. 2 role or even Jimmy Graham could be more prominent in the passing game.
2016 Bottom Line
Lockett should become a solid WR3 this season. He should be drafted around the 7th round and we are convinced he will be the No. 2 guy behind Baldwin. The Seahawks want a legit long ball threat for Wilson and Lockett fills that role. A 1,000 yard season and 8 TDs is a good possibility.
