BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR48
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been one of the more underrated pass catchers in the NFL for the past several years. While his days as a fantasy football star are over, the veteran is still a talented wide receiver. He was one of Seattle’s highest-graded players by PFF in Week 5.
The highest-graded Seahawks in Week 5 vs the Giants:
🥇 Tyrel Dodson - 83.0
🥈 Jerome Baker - 72.3
🥉 Tyler Lockett - 70.5
🏅 Jarran Reed - 70.1
🏅 Geno Smith - 70.0(min. 25 snaps) pic.twitter.com/lBSJhsQxrV

Unfortunately, PFF grading doesn’t equate to fantasy football production. Lockett is the WR48 for the year, averaging 7.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Despite averaging 6.4 targets per game, the veteran wide receiver hasn’t scored double-digit fantasy points since opening weekend.
While fantasy players in standard-size leagues should avoid playing Lockett this week, he is a solid flex option in deeper leagues. He faces a San Francisco 49ers defense that has surrendered four receiving touchdowns to wide receivers this season. Three were by the No. 2 or No. 3 wide receiver. Lockett is a touchdown-or-bust flex option this week.
