Perennially undervalued Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett enters the 2023 season overlooked again. The veteran is coming off his fourth straight season with at least 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns, but his ADP sits at 69.5. That's largely due to the wide receivers opposite of him on the field, D.K. Metcalf and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
The Kansas State alum has shown tremendous health throughout his professional career. He's missed just three games over eight seasons but has been dealing with some undisclosed tightness in training camp.
Let's break down his injury status and his fantasy football outlook for 2023.

Tyler Lockett Injury Update For Fantasy Football
Lockett ramped up his activity during Tuesday's practice, an upgrade from the side work we saw on Monday.
The 30-year-old should be good moving forward, although we didn't see him in the team's preseason opener on Thursday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Tyler Lockett 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook
Investing heavily in offensive weapons in the two most recent drafts, the Seahawks suddenly have a plethora of new skill players, the most notable being receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. There are concerns that the rookie will limit Lockett's fantasy ceiling, but he actually excelled in three WR sets in 2022 (1.9 yards per route, on par with his five-year average).
D.K. Metcalf's current ADP is 32.13, while Smith-Njigba is just behind Lockett at 72.88. Lockett is an easy value pick over Metcalf, no matter what format you're playing. Be comfortable walking away from your draft with Lockett as your second or third wide receiver.
