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.

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, […]
