Tyler Lockett A Deep League Option in Week 12

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett has carved out a meaningful role in the offense after signing with the team on October 27. Lockett began the season with the Tennessee Titans and didn't make an impact with just 10 catches (21 targets) for 70 yards in seven games. The 33-year-old has shown he still has something left in the tank in Las Vegas, totaling more receiving yards (77) in three games with the team. The fantasy upside is still very limited as the third option behind Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker for a Raiders passing attack led by Geno Smith, who has struggled mightily this season. Lockett has some appeal in Week 12 against the Browns in deeper formats, but is best left on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

Tyler Lockett Establishing Steady Role in Las Vegas

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett looked like he was on his way out of the league earlier this season as a minimally utilized member of the Tennessee Titans. However, since being released by Tennessee and picked up by Las Vegas, the 33-year-old has found some new life. Over his last two games with the Raiders, Lockett has recorded eight catches for 77 yards on nine targets. Lockett is tied with wideout Tre Tucker for the target lead among Raiders wide receivers over that span, and he has established chemistry with Las Vegas quarterback Geno Smith from their time playing together with the Seattle Seahawks. Lockett is no longer an explosive downfield threat, but he appears to have established a relatively stable role in Las Vegas. He could be worth targeting in deep fantasy leagues heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Tyler Lockett Cleared for Excellent Week 11 Matchup on Monday Night

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice with a knee injury, but he put in full practices on Friday and Saturday and has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. In a pristine matchup, Lockett will be looking to stay heavily involved in the passing attack after catching five of his six targets for a season-high 44 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 33-year-old had only 10 catches for 70 scoreless yards in seven games with the Titans before joining the Raiders and reuniting with quarterback Geno Smith. Lockett and Smith have clear chemistry from their days in Seattle. With that said, Lockett might still be the No. 3 target for Smith behind Tre Tucker and Brock Bowers. Lockett's upside isn't what it used to be, but his chemistry with Smith shouldn't be ignored, and he's facing the worst defense against WRs this week in Dallas. In deeper fantasy leagues, Lockett is in play as a WR4/5 this week.

Tyler Lockett Logs Full Practice on Friday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. It seems like Lockett will be good to go after he began the week with a limited session due to a knee issue. Lockett is coming off his best performance of the season where he hauled in five of his six targets for 44 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. That was only his second week on the team, so the assumption is his role will grow with the team. Barring any setbacks, Lockett should be viewed as a low-end flex option for the Monday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Tyler Lockett Limited by Knee Injury on Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) is on the team's Week 11 injury report after he was limited in the first practice of the week on Thursday due to a knee injury, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. In his second game with the Raiders in last Thursday's loss to the Denver Broncos, Lockett played 57% of the offensive snaps and had season-highs in catches (five), targets (six), and receiving yards (44) in a game that featured very little offense. The 33-year-old veteran is a little banged up going into a Week 11 Monday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, but he should be able to suit up as long as he doesn't have a setback with his knee on Friday or Saturday. The Raiders' offense has been extremely lackluster, especially in the passing game, but Lockett has chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith from their time in Seattle and should continue to be involved alongside Tre Tucker and tight end Brock Bowers. Lockett could be a sneaky flex target in a great matchup against Dallas' D.

Tyler Lockett Emerges as Reliable Weapon with Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett has seemingly resurrected his career after signing with the team on October 27. After seeing just 19 snaps in Week 9, Lockett was on the field for 34 plays in Week 11. The savvy veteran reunited with quarterback Geno Smith, and hauled in five passes for 44 yards. With Lockett already having a strong relationship with Smith, the situation couldn't be better for the 33-year-old wideout. Lockett's crisp route running should continue to shine, as the Raiders utilize him alongside Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker. Lockett is a must-add for PPR formats.

Tyler Lockett Becoming Fantasy Relevant in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett had his best game of the season during their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos, catching five of six targets for 44 yards in his second game with the team. Lockett reunited with Raiders head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith, signing with the team on October 27. The 33-year-old wasn't productive in his short stint with the Tennessee Titans, catching just 10 of 21 targets for 70 yards in seven games. The veteran showed that he still has something left in the tank against the Broncos, with his five receptions being the most since Week 3 of last season with the Seahawks. Lockett has familiarity with Smith and should have the opportunity to run plenty of routes after the Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville. Lockett could be a target off the waiver wire in deeper leagues for Week 11.

Tyler Lockett Heavily Involved in Second Game with New Team

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught five of his six targets for 44 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. The veteran receiver made his Raiders debut last week, but he saw just one target in that game, so Thursday's outing represented a major increase in volume for the veteran wideout. Lockett established himself as quarterback Geno Smith's favorite target after the Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars. While Lockett doesn't represent a long-term receiving threat in Las Vegas' rebuild, he still has redraft appeal as a low-end WR3/flex, especially given his connection to Smith and head coach Pete Carroll from their time together in Seattle.

Tyler Lockett on the Rise After Reuniting With Former QB?

Veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett has joined forces with the Las Vegas Raiders after seven underwhelming games with the Tennessee Titans this year. Lockett will be reuniting with quarterback Geno Smith, whom he played with in Seattle, but will that suddenly make him fantasy relevant again? It's unlikely. Lockett, 33, had just 10 catches for 70 yards and no touchdowns on 20 targets in his seven games in a struggling Titans offense led by a rookie QB. He'll be reuniting with a familiar face in Vegas, but the Raiders' offense hasn't been much better in 2025, and both tight end Brock Bowers (knee) and receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) are expected to return following the bye to play this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Meyers is healthy, Lockett could end up being the WR5 behind Meyers, Tre Tucker, and rookies Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech.

Tyler Lockett Signing With Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to sign former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett to a deal today, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Lockett reunites with both quarterback Geno Smith and Pete Carroll, who spent a few seasons together with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran wideout played a small role over seven games in Tennessee, catching just 10 of his 21 targets for 70 yards and no touchdowns. He recorded 894 yards and five touchdowns in his last season under Carroll with the Seahawks in 2023, and will be hoping to carry over some of that success for a Raiders offense that is last in the league in points scored. However, Lockett is unlikely to become relevant in 12-team redraft leagues.

Tyler Lockett Released by Titans

Veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett asked for and received his release on Monday from the Tennessee Titans, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Lockett is expected to be on the open market and free to sign with another team after 4 pm ET on Wednesday. The 33-year-old veteran won't even make it a full season in Tennessee after joining them via free agency back in March. In his seven games with Tennessee, he had a small role in a struggling offense led by rookie quarterback Cameron Ward, catching only 10 of his 21 targets for 70 yards and no touchdowns. Lockett is clearly nearing the end of his NFL career, but another NFL team will likely take a chance on him as a veteran voice for their locker room after he caught 49 passes for 600 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games in 2024 in his final year with the Seattle Seahawks. It's unlikely he'll suddenly resurface on the fantasy radar in 12-team leagues, though.

Tyler Lockett Not Headed for Increased Volume in Week 7?

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett offers a strong, veteran presence within a struggling offense, but he's unlikely to contribute as a relevant fantasy football option in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. While it's fair to initially suspect that Lockett could steal some targets from Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out, that doesn't appear to be the case. Ridley started last week's game but exited early and did not return, but Lockett still just caught just one pass on a 33 percent snap share. Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike are far more likely to handle Ridley's vacated targets, leaving Lockett in a smaller role once again. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Tyler Lockett Not a Wise Fantasy Choice Versus Vegas

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett was once considered a top wideout in the National Football League. Unfortunately, it appears those days are well behind him. In his first five games as a Titan, he's caught only seven passes (16 targets) for 52 yards. While the veteran had his first touchdown of the year in Week 5 against the Cardinals, it wasn't as a pass-catcher. Instead, it came after a wild sequence of events that included a Cam Ward interception followed by a Dadrion Taylor-Demerson fumble. With the Titans coming off a win, their first of the 2025 campaign, the team will look for another victory on Sunday versus the Raiders. Like Tennessee, Las Vegas hasn't looked good throughout the season. With that in mind, despite the favorable matchup on tap, Lockett hasn't played well enough to be classified as a starting option in any fantasy format.

Tyler Lockett's Fantasy Status Dependent on Availability of Teammate?

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett has seen an appealing snap and target share over the last few weeks, and he could be headed for an expanded role in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Lockett is currently preparing for the matchup as the Titans' No. 3 receiver, as he has been doing ever since the season opener, but he could jump to second on the depth chart if Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow), who is questionable, doesn't suit up. Ridley has been underwhelming this year but would still vacate around 50 snaps, many of which would likely go to Lockett. There's a direct relationship between the two players' snap shares; every time Ridley has played at least 85 percent of the snaps, Lockett plays below 60 percent. Last week, when Ridley played just 54 percent, Lockett saw his snap share jump to 72 percent. Having someone like Lockett on the field is a good idea for the Titans, who have youth elsewhere in Cameron Ward, Elic Ayomanor, and Chig Okonkwo. A reliable veteran presence with sure hands in the short and medium passing games, Lockett has 12 targets but just six catches through his first four games in Tennessee. A Ridley absence could push Lockett closer to six or seven targets with at least a few receptions, therefore giving him some WR3/flex appeal in the deepest leagues. On the other hand, if Ridley plays, Lockett would probably see around just 50 percent of the snaps, which isn't enough to get him on the fantasy radar.

Tyler Lockett Nowhere Near a Starting Fantasy Option in Week 4

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett has had a miserable year so far. After a stellar tenure with the Seattle Seahawks, the wideout has only six grabs (eight targets) for 46 yards in his first three games as a Titan. Granted, he's older, which won't help anyone's ceiling. However, outside of that, quarterback Cam Ward hasn't played the best, with the rookie throwing for only 506 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while completing 54.5% of his throws. Lockett has logged 103 offensive snaps, third on the team at the position behind Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley. With that in mind, it's hard to imagine the 32-year-old will turn things around even if Ward gets his act together, especially with Ridley, Ayomanor, and Chig Okonkwo all looking for targets. Keep Lockett sitting in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.

Tyler Lockett Off Fantasy Radar in Week 3

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been nearly invisible to start the 2025 season. In his first year outside of Seattle, the veteran has managed just two catches for nine yards on four targets across two games. His playing time has dipped, seeing the field on only 53% of snaps while operating behind Calvin Ridley and rookie Elic Ayomanor. Lockett gets a Week 3 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers so far in 2025. With the emergence of Ayomanor and no reliable snap share or target volume, Lockett remains off the fantasy radar for now.

Tyler Lockett Should See Significant Volume Against Denver

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett will make his team debut in Week 1, facing off against the Denver Broncos. After a long and effective tenure in Seattle, Lockett is now a Titan and will catch passes from rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. The veteran receiver could benefit from this week's matchup. Although Denver has a very strong defense anchored by elite cornerback Patrick Surtain II, Ward could look to funnel passes to Lockett if Ridley is routinely smothered by Surtain on the perimeter. Lockett has developed into a short- to medium-yardage option and can benefit Ward as he gets open to provide an outlet for the young quarterback. Lockett might not crack 50 yards and a touchdown, but he should see at least a handful of targets with the potential to be a low-end starter in deep PPR formats.

Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett Sit Out Friday's Preseason Game

Tennessee Titans wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett did not suit up for the team's second preseason game on Friday night against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. It remains to be seen if the Titans will allow Ridley and Lockett to take the field for the final preseason contest next Friday versus the Minnesota Vikings. Targets and volume shouldn't be an issue for Ridley as he goes into his second year in Tennessee, although he'll be working with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. The 30-year-old caught 64 of 120 targets for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games last year with poor QB play. Efficiency could once again be an issue in a weak Titans offense, which makes Ridley more of a WR3/flex in fantasy than a bonafide WR2 target. Ridley has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and 12 combined TDs.

Titans Likely To Use Tyler Lockett In The Slot

The Tennessee Titans signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Tyler Lockett to a one-year, $4 million deal on Wednesday. According to Titans insider Paul Kuharsky, the team views him as "primarily a slot who can still threaten downfield and be used on some outside routes." Before this signing, Van Jefferson or Treylon Burks was slated to be Tennessee's No. 2 receiver behind Calvin Ridley following the departure of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Lockett brings another veteran presence to the wide receiver room, and he'll presumably catch passes from rookie quarterback Cam Ward in 2025. While Lockett's arrival slightly improves Tennessee's pass-catching group, they are likely to continue to address the position on Day 2 or Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Tyler Lockett Joining The Titans

Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett announced on X that he is "excited to be a Tennessee Titan!!" Terms of Lockett's deal with Tennessee are unknown. After a career year from Jaxon-Smith Njigba in Seattle in his second season in the league in 2024, the Seahawks deemed the 32-year-old Lockett to be expendable after he caught 49 of his 74 targets for only 600 yards and two touchdowns in 14 starts. Lockett's 600 yards and two touchdowns were his lowest totals in a single season since his third year in the league in 2017. He's no longer the same wideout he was that posted four straight 1,000-yard seasons from 2019-22, but he could wind up being the Titans' No. 2 pass-catcher behind Calvin Ridley in 2025. Lockett will most likely be working with rookie quarterback Cam Ward, who is fully expected to be taken at No. 1 overall in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night.
