The Seattle Seahawks will face the New York Jets in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Tyler Lockett.
Is Tyler Lockett Playing in Week 13?
Lockett did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but returned to a full practice on Friday and does not carry an injury designation on the final report.
Lockett is dealing with a new knee issue, but Seattle has been known to give rest days to its veterans. Last week, Lockett got a rest day on Wednesday, went full on Thursday, and was limited on Friday (with rest/foot given as his designation). He played 65.6% of the snaps against the Arizona Cardinals and should be fine to carry a similar workload on Sunday.

Should You Start or Sit Tyler Lockett in Week 13?
The Seahawks have told us what they think about the target hierarchy in their offense and it’s pretty clear that Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf are the featured assets with nobody else even remotely close to viable.
Tyler Lockett has put together a great career, but we are in the business of predicting the future, not paying respects to the past. The veteran receiver didn’t earn five targets in a game during November and hasn’t reached 12 expected points in consecutive games since September.
I’d rather roll the dice weekly on any of the receivers in Carolina, opting to embrace the unknown as opposed to ignoring the clear signs of a player being phased out of the offense.
