Week 16 vs Rams
Lockett is on a four-game scoreless drought and hasn't recorded more than 63 yards and six catches in a game in that span (both coming against the Giants). He did have five catches for 66 yards in Week 10 against the Rams with Jalen Ramsey shadowing DK Metcalf. Lockett just cracks our top 25 wide receivers in half-PPR this week as he looks for his first touchdown against the Rams since Week 5 of 2019.
Week 15 vs Washington
Lockett hasn't been blowing the doors open this season, but he's quietly put together a nice stat line yet again. He's at 81 catches, 886 yards and eight touchdowns on the year. He continues to hover in WR2 territory as he gets deeper into the playoffs. He has at least five catches in four of his last five games, but hasn't scored since Week 11.
Week 14 vs Jets
For the third time in four weeks, Lockett received nine targets in a game. He's also on six straight games under 70 yards and only one touchdown in the timespan. This could be the week that changes, as Lockett faces the second-worst passing defense in the NFL. (Ironically, Lockett plays for the team that boasts the worst passing defense in the league).
Week 13 vs Giants
Seattle's offense, for the most part, was very quiet on Monday night, including Tyler Lockett, who saw just four targets and had just 23 yards on three catches. Week 13 might be a good opportunity for him with DK Metcalf possibly being shadowed by James Bradberry. We have him just outside the WR1 group for the week.
Week 12 vs Eagles
Lockett's second game against Arizona was certainly nowhere near his first performance, but it was still a good one, nonetheless. Nine catches, 67 yards and a touchdown. Interestingly enough, his 4-62 line in last season's Wild Card playoff against the Eagles was almost the total combined of his previous three games against the Eagles (5-94-1). But this has become a bad Eagles team that there's room for both Lockett and Metcalf to shine on Monday.
Week 11 vs Cardinals
Let's just start by saying it's going to be quite difficult for Lockett to repeat what he did in the first meeting with the Cardinals (15-200-3). But Lockett has seen an increase in targets over the last three weeks, including nine last week against the Rams and 16 over the last two weeks. He just now needs to find the end zone, something he hasn't done since that big day in the desert.
Week 10 vs Rams
Lockett has been tough to figure out. Sure, we talk a lot about his potential and upside each week. But so far, about half of his yards and six of his seven touchdowns have come in two games, including the 15-200-3 game against the Cardinals. Perhaps he's finally due for a double-digit PPR scoring game. What better time than against a division rival in the Rams. That said, the Rams currently rank as the toughest matchup for wide receivers in our matchup rankings.
Week 9 vs Bills
It was quite the fallback from Lockett's 200 yards and three touchdowns against the Cardinals, as Lockett only managed four catches for 33 yards against the 49ers. It is going to be very interesting to see how Buffalo defends Seattle, particularly how they use their stud cornerback Tre'Davious White. Lockett is always full of upside and that's why we keep him a top-ten option at the position.
Week 8 vs 49ers
Welcome back, Tyler Lockett. What a night he had in Week 7. 20 targets, 15 catches, 200 yards, three touchdowns. A 50-burger in PPR scoring. We thought he was due and did he ever come through. But now he faces a 49ers team that he's had some issues with over the last few games. He hasn't posted more than 52 yards in the last four games against San Francisco. But with the way Seattle's offense is rolling, Lockett will always have great upside and we still have him as a WR1.
Week 7 vs Cardinals
The numbers have dipped a bit for Lockett (39 and 44 yards in the last two games), but he still is a top-15 option simply due to his upside with his hands and route-running ability. He's due for a strong game at some point. Maybe it happens in primetime this week.
