Godeep 157 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hoping to sit Lockett this week, dudes always been a roller coaster. I still don’t hate the idea of starting him, I would rather not if I don’t have to though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He started the season out on a tear, but just like last year, he really faded after the first half of the year. Last year he was hurt towards end of year, but there's no excuse this year.

They seem to be able to pressure the QB and Wilson has been knocked around some lately. So I'm going with Hilton instead of Lockett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDE 330 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 If you made it this far into playoffs with him in your lineup, then he’s most likely your WR3 and/or you have a stacked team built around him Might as well continue to roll with him and hope for one of his random huge games (or even a modest 12-15 point game) Don’t forget on this same team two years ago Doug Baldwin had a very mediocre season and then exploded in the semis & finals to win a lot of his owners championships Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajs723 3,321 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Washington has an elite pass defense. If you start Lockett you're praying for a TD. 6 for 60 seems like the ceiling, as they never throw deep to Lockett anymore, and the defense is just too good for one of Lockett's random double digit catch games.

Also with Haskins starting Seattle could easily get a big lead early and cease Russell's cooking early. Definitely limits both Metcalf and Lockett's upside since the likelihood of a shootout is basically non-existent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even if Haskins is serviceable, I don't see the Seahawks airing it out in this game. Probably a "play it safe" gamescript regardless. Metcalf can score on any play, so his ceiling remains more intact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I'd say most low WR2 to high flex-ish ranked WRs should be ahead of him if they've got better consistency or a better matchup/situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rabaak 351 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Last time Sea played LAR, Lockett had 5 for 66 with a long of 39, with 9 targets. Metcalf was 2 for 28 with a long of 19 with 4 targets. Sea had Alex Collins at running back. Think R. Wilson was sacked 6 times. Rams must have concentrated on Metcalf last game. How the Rams lost to the Jets is amazing. But the Rams are now battling for their playoff lives. So Rams Def should be motivated with Sea now in first place. The game is at Sea. Here is what fantasy pros says: Lockett now hasn't scored a touchdown in over a month, his last one coming on November 19th against the Cardinals. He's become more of a boom-or-bust option, but it's hard to sit him knowing he can go for 100 yards and two touchdowns at any given time with Russell Wilson throwing the football. He should be considered a low-end WR2 in Week 16 against the Rams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Rourke 245 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 If you're still alive and starting him, least of all in a championship game, I have no idea what to tell you. Flex in a 14 team league, maybe. This passing offense is dead right now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USWAY 364 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 If there was anything I called this year, it was that this dude would fall off a cliff in crunch time, even when he had that hot start. His lack of production killed me in the 2019 playoffs. It's just crazy how this guy can become an absolute ghost in this offense at any time, and it's exacerbated when Russ starts to stink like he's done two Nov/Dec's in a row. You could see last year that DK was becoming the go to guy, but even he's a low end WR1 when the offense goes like this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajs723 3,321 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Unanimous decision seems to be that Lockett was a massive bust, who had three massive games. But... in the other 13 games, Lockett still played at a 105 target pace. Not elite, but he's still an upside WR2/3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had 100 catches for 1000 yards and 10 TDs, and I can't give him away for a bag of donuts. It's amazing. I think his big games actually hurt him. It makes his normal games look so much worse. Boo hoo, he has all these 5 for 50 floor games. 5 for 50 is a great floor for a WR3. People act like he's going 2 for 25 every other week. He's still a rock solid WR3 who has weekly WR1 on steroids upside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I won't deny Lockett's upside and his potential to win you a week, but the floor is worse than that. These are half of his games from this year, with the final three from weeks 14-16: 2/39/0, 4/44/0, 4/33/0, 4/40/0, 3/23/0, 5/52/0, 4/34/0, 3/44/0 It's hard to trust that.

The 2 for 39 and the 3 for 23 lines are hard to swallow. But even 7.5 points as a floor for a PPR WR3 is meh, but not devastating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hexar 2 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I think if Seattle keeps status quo I'll try to avoid Lockett. Maybe take him as a late round flyer if he's still there but seems like a trap for ADP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonywow 1,167 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 It doesn't help Lockett that it seems Wilson wants to throw to DK every pass. Rightfully so I guess, but if he spread the ball around a bit more I feel like SEA would have had more success, especially in tight games like yesterday. I'll pass on Lockett over a WR with a safer floor each week. His few big weeks weren't enough reason for me to take him. On top of other week he had great match ups and didn't get the targets to be a factor, sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Rourke 245 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I wish he'd go to another team and pull a Diggs and go berserk. The guy can get it done on multiple routes, contested catches, redzone, etc. Sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajs723 3,321 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 This is the most negative thread ever for a guy who had 100/1000/10 season. Everything is going to regress to the mean next year. He won't repeat those 2 insane monster games, but he probably also won't have quite as many duds. He's still going to go for 85-90 catches and 1000 yards next year. Plus, Wilson likes him in the red zone. WR2 with a high ceiling. And no one is going to want to touch him. I actually think he's going to be a good value next year.
