Tyler Lockett Week 11 Outlook - Cardinals at Seahawks

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Mon, Nov 16th 2020, 1:48pm EST

It was supposed to be a big bounce-back game for Lockett, though he failed to live up to expectations, recording just five catches for 65 yards. He's now finished with 11.5 or less PPR points in five of his last six games. The one game in that mix where he did was against his Week 11 opponent, as he crushed the Cardinals to the tune of 15 receptions, 200 yards, and three touchdowns. Do they adjust and change things up to ensure he doesn't abuse their secondary again, or do they accept it because they won that Week 7 matchup against them? The Cardinals have been beat up in the slot, no matter which cornerback is there, allowing 40-of-56 passing for 589 yards and four touchdowns. It's also why we've seen the three top performances they've allowed on the season go to slot-heavy wide receivers (Lockett, Cole Beasley, and Jamison Crowder). Is it a lock to go down as it did last week? Not really, as Lockett totaled just 4/51/0 and 1/12/0 in the two matchups against a similar Cardinals defense last year. You're still playing him as a high-end WR2 but understand that production may shift this week.
