BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (oblique) had what was easily his worst game of the season in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo's stingy pass defense limited him to just one catch on three targets for nine yards, good for 1.9 PPR fantasy points. It was a dismal day for the entire Seahawks offense.

It wasn't necessarily a huge surprise, considering the strength of the defense and the absence of D.K. Metcalf, the team's clear No. 1 WR, to draw away coverage from Lockett. But No. 16 is just the WR42 on the season, and despite a softer matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9, consistency has been an issue.
In deeper leagues, he's a fine start. The Rams have a high-powered offense when their star WRs, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, are both healthy, and this game could be a shootout. Seattle already passes the ball at a high rate. Fantasy managers should monitor his injury status, though, as he was limited in practice on Wednesday with an oblique issue.
