Tyler Lockett Week 6 Outlook - 49ers at Seahawks
By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 1:05pm EDT
Lockett is the WR51 in fantasy points per game, but he has displayed a decently high floor. He has at least four receptions and 61 receiving yards in three of his five games, but he hasn't scored a touchdown yet, so it's pulling his fantasy status down. Lockett has had a 14.6% target share, a 22.9% air-yard share, 1.62 YPRR, and an 18.1% first-read share. Over the last two games, San Francisco has leaned more into single-high coverage with the 12th-highest rate (61.1%). Against single-high, Lockett's numbers have remained largely unchanged while noting that his first-read share has increased mildly to 19.4%. Lockett will run about 72% of his routes against Isaac Yiadom (68.8% catch rate and 115.9 passer rating) and Charvarius Ward (56.5% catch rate and 99.5 passer rating). Lockett is a sit this week against a pass defense that has allowed the second-lowest PPR points per target and the sixth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
