Tyler Lockett

I can't cultivate a likely scenario where the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver accrues any type of worthwhile fantasy value in 2021.

He is turning 30 years old this season and finds him in a situation with Geno Smith/Drew Lock at quarterback. Lockett's infamous for his roller coaster production - four top-5 finishes, seven outside the top-36 in 2021 - and I expect no less based on his current situation in 2022. The major difference being the bad games will be more frequent than ever with the massive QB downgrade.

Lockett averaged just 9.0 fantasy points per game (47th) without Wilson last season.

With Lockett competing for targets alongside Metcalf in a run-heavy offense, he looks like a straight-up fade unless his ADP falls dramatically.

Tyler Lockett: Seahawks are open to trading veteran WR

According to Evan Massey, following the Seahawks trading Russell Wilson to the Broncos, they are also open for business on wide receiver Tyler Lockett.

Fantasy Impact

After the blockbuster trade that sent Russell Wilson to Denver early Tuesday afternoon, reports came out from beat reporter Evan Massey that the Seahawks have had internal discussions about moving Tyler Lockett. With several big-name receivers including Chris Godwin, Mike Williams, and Davante Adams coming off the free agency board, WR needy teams may look to send an offer for the veteran speedster. In 2022, Lockett will earn a base salary of $3,000,000 and a signing bonus of $13,000,000, while carrying a cap hit of $10,050,000 and a dead cap value of $31,200,000.
