BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR44
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is the WR51 over the first four weeks, averaging 7.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The veteran wide receiver scored 10.7 fantasy points in Week 1. However, he has scored fewer than 8.7 fantasy points in the other three contests since opening weekend.
Lockett has the fifth-most targets (26) in the NFL without scoring a touchdown this season. Surprisingly, his teammate, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, is first on this list with 33 targets.
Most targets this season without a receiving touchdown:

While the veteran wide receiver is no longer a must-star option for fantasy players, Lockett is still an appealing flex option, especially this week with four teams on a bye. He faces a New York Giants defense that has surrendered 26.5 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, slightly above the league average.
Furthermore, the Giants have given up 136 receiving yards, 1.5 touchdowns, and 30.3 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the past two weeks. Lockett is a WR3 in deeper leagues and a solid flex option in standard-size leagues.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
