Should You Start or Sit Tyler Lockett in Week 18?
Lockett saw four targets last week in Chicago, and the sheer fact that is notable should tell you all you need to know.
Those four looks were his most in a game since mid-October, and in a plus-matchup, Lockett paid them off with 20 yards. There’s no reason to look this way in any capacity with the Seahawks playing for nothing and Lockett’s statistical profile in clear decline.
The veteran WR is owed $10 million next season, though Seattle has a potential out this summer. If this is Lockett’s last game as a Seahawk, maybe they funnel him a few looks for a touchdown, but that’s about as flimsy of a case as you could possibly make.
Lockett hasn’t averaged over a yard per route since Week 9 and hasn’t cleared 10 expected PPR points since Week 6.
