BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex
ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has been a stable flex option this season, but his contest this week is not ideal. He has a solid floor despite a difficult matchup.
With DK Metcalf dealing with a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Lockett's role could increase. Last week, Lockett caught four of six targets for 45 yards in the Seattle Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Atlanta Falcons, tying for the team lead in receptions.

Seattle faces the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. The Bills have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. While Metcalf would be an instant start if playing in a better contest, the matchup makes it hard to trust him as your WR1 or WR2.
Metcalf's absence boosts Lockett's chances of having a big game, but the Bills' defense limits his upside. Jaxon Smith-Njigba might have the higher ceiling in this offense, but Lockett has a safe floor. Do not outright bench Lockett this week unless you're in a 10-team league. He can be a valuable flex in a time when injuries are overwhelming the WR position.
