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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Apr 24, 2025 2:57 PM EST
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.

The Seattle Seahawks aren't closing the door on a potential reunion with veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who they released for salary cap saving purposes this week. "Go out and see what's shaking (on the market), and we'll stay in touch," general manager John Schneider said he told Lockett. However, Schneider expects Lockett to draw significant interest on the free-agent market because he's a leader and "still a productive player." Seattle could be more inclined to re-sign Lockett if they end up trading DK Metcalf before the NFL draft in April. The 32-year-old Lockett was the odd-man out in the passing attack in 2024 behind Metcalf and second-year man Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who was the team's leading receiver. Lockett had just 49 catches for 600 yards and two TDs on 72 targets, but it's not impossible that he could bounce back in 2025 in a better situation.

The Seattle Seahawks are releasing longtime wide receiver Tyler Lockett, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 32-year-old was selected by Seattle in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft and racked up 661 receptions for 8,594 yards and 61 touchdowns across 161 career games in 10 seasons. Lockett has played in 15 or more games in every season of his career and has three All-Pro nods as a return specialist. Seattle opts to move on rather than pay his $17 million salary for this season, including a $5.3 million roster bonus that would have been due on March 16. While Lockett is past his prime as a consistent 1,000-yard receiver, there will likely be teams interested in his services, especially teams with young quarterbacks.
Mar 5, 2025 12:50 PM EST
When asked whether wide receiver Tyler Lockett would be on the roster for the 2025 season, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said the team is "working through that" and will make a decision in the next month or so. It's not a ringing endorsement for the 32-year-old veteran pass-catcher after he fell to 49 receptions on 74 targets for 600 yards and just two touchdowns in 17 games (14 starts) in 2024 in his 10th year with Seattle. His 600 receiving yards and two TDs were his fewest since the 2017 season, his third year in the league. Lockett will have a $30.8 million salary cap figure this year, and releasing him would save the Seahawks $17 million against the cap. If Lockett doesn't take a pay cut, Seattle will most likely release him after the emergence of second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2024.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is not worth a fantasy roster spot in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams. While Lockett would likely like to have a good game in what could be his final game in a Seahawks uniform, the fact is that he has been completely phased out of Seattle's offense with the emergence of wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Week 17 against the Chicago Bears was Lockett's best game in weeks. He caught three passes for 20 yards last Thursday. It was encouraging to see Lockett earn more than three targets for the first time since Week 9. However, his four targets were not exactly groundbreaking. Unless Lockett finds the end zone, he will be a useless fantasy asset this week. Leave him on waivers once again in Week 18.
Jan 3, 2025 7:40 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett could be playing in his final game with Seattle in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, but he plans to continue his career in 2025. The 32-year-old former third-round pick in 2015 out of Kansas State has seen his role shrink to WR3 for the Seahawks in 2024 due to the emergence of second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba. After reaching the 1,000-yard milestone four straight years from 2019-2022, Lockett had 894 receiving yards last year and currently is sitting on 572 yards and only two touchdowns on 47 receptions in 16 games this year. Lockett is the franchise's second-leading receiver in catches, yards and touchdowns, but he has accepted his role as more of a facilitator for both JSN and DK Metcalf. With a salary cap hit of $30.8 million in 2025, it's unlikely Lockett will stick around in Seattle.
Jan 2, 2025 12:13 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is once again not on the fantasy radar in Week 17 when Seattle travels to Chicago to play the Bears. Lockett has received very little target volume since Week 7. Even in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings, Lockett could only earn two targets despite quarterback Geno Smith throwing the ball 43 times. The Seahawks have consolidated their targets among the running backs and their top two wide receivers. Lockett is a great veteran presence for this team, but he is not integral to the game plan at all. Despite the Bears being a solid matchup for opposing wide receivers in recent weeks, Lockett should remain on waivers.
Dec 25, 2024 6:30 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett continues to be a disappointment for fantasy. That is unlikely to change in Week 16 despite an excellent matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Lockett has been completely phased out of the Seahawks' game plan. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb has shifted most of the attention to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the running game. The Vikings are the worst defense at stopping opposing wide receivers in fantasy. However, that is unlikely to benefit Lockett given how little volume he is receiving. With the Seahawks scaling back their passing attempts over the second half of the season, there simply is not enough to go around for Lockett to be fantasy-relevant. Look elsewhere if you are still alive in the fantasy playoffs.
Dec 20, 2024 7:32 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett only caught one pass for 22 yards in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers. Lockett's 22 yards marked a game-high dating back to Week 9. In his defense, fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf did not fare much better in Week 15. The Seahawks' offense as a whole was disjointed. Only running back Zach Charbonnet and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba found any success against a relentless Packers defense. Hopefully, Lockett is on waivers in your fantasy league. He simply cannot even deliver flex value at this point. It is disappointing considering how many years of high-end fantasy relevance Lockett enjoyed before the last season or two.
Dec 16, 2024 3:58 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is the forgotten man in the offense. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba breaking out and DK Metcalf (shoulder) healthy, Lockett is an afterthought. Lockett was blanked on the box score in Week 14 and very well could be again in Week 15. The Seahawks host the No. 9 defense against opposing wide receivers in fantasy when the Green Bay Packers come to town in Week 15. Lockett has not garnered more than four targets in a game since Week 7. The Seahawks have consolidated targets among the running backs and the aforementioned top two wide receivers. The tactic is working as the team now sits atop the NFC West with a one-game lead. Lockett should now be on waivers for your fantasy playoff run. He is not worth taking the roster spot of a player who could help your team. As long as Lockett's volume remains this low, he will not be a fantasy option.
Dec 14, 2024 6:08 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught no passes on one target in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. Lockett has been completely phased out of the Seahawks' offense. He dropped a would-be touchdown in the end zone on his only target. Otherwise, quarterback Geno Smith was focused entirely on wide receivers DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba and running back Zach Charbonnet. Lockett is a completely forgotten man in the Seahawks' offense. He is a great locker-room presence and a savvy veteran on the field. However, he is not integral to the game plan any longer. At this point, Lockett should not be rostered in fantasy. He will only find relevance should Metcalf or Smith-Njigba go down due to injury.
Dec 8, 2024 7:27 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett does not deserve a spot in your lineup and possibly even on your roster in Week 14. The Seahawks will travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals. Lockett has had some huge games in Arizona in the past, but the No. 2 wide receiver role in Seattle's offense has shifted to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Lockett has not earned more than four targets since Week 7, and he has not exceeded three receptions during that same span. With fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf (shoulder) off the injury report, this will be the Metcalf and Smith-Njigba show once again. Lockett will be a chain mover on a couple of important plays in this game. However, he will be more important to the Seahawks' success than that of your fantasy team.
Dec 6, 2024 4:02 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett only earned three targets in Seattle's Week 13 win over the New York Jets. He was a chain mover for the Seahawks, but he is no longer integral to the game plan. Lockett plays a specific role as a savvy veteran who can make big catches for this team. However, his days as anything close to a WR2 are officially long gone. At this point, Lockett is not worth a roster spot in fantasy. No one should roster a player who only earns three targets a game and does not score touchdowns. The Seahawks have shifted hard to consolidating targets between wide receivers DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The shift is producing results as both players are having solid seasons. Lockett has been a big name in fantasy for a long time, but it is time to let name value go and move on.
Dec 1, 2024 7:32 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's match against the New York Jets. The veteran wideout was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to turn in a full session on Friday. The 32-year-old has taken a step back this season, as he has only averaged 45.0 yards per game and is on pace to have one of the lowest yardage totals of his career. Over the past two weeks, he has tallied just 49 combined yards and caught just two passes in each game. Facing a tough Jets secondary that has allowed the fewest PPR points, fantasy managers should only view Lockett as a desperation flex play in PPR formats.
Nov 29, 2024 4:51 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receivers DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) were non-participants for the second straight day, according to Rich Cimini. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to their status during Friday's practice session as they both could be in danger of missing Sunday's game if they cannot log any practice session. Metcalf returned in Week 11 after a two-game absence due to a knee injury, while Lockett has yet to miss any time this season. Metcalf typically sees the majority of targets every week in the Seattle passing attack. Lockett has seen only three targets in each of the past two games and has moved down to the clear No.3 role in the offense. If either wideout is in danger of missing Sunday's game, Jaxon Smith-Njigba would be in store for an increase in opportunities.
