Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Tyler Lockett

Tuesday, September 2, 9:39 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods from their practice squad, per an announcement from the team. Woods played in 15 games for the Houston Texans in 2024, recording 20 catches for 203 yards. The 33-year-old has been a steadily productive NFL receiver for over a decade, but he could be nearing the end of the road. Pittsburgh does not have much proven wide receiver depth behind top wideout DK Metcalf, so giving up on Woods could be telling of just how little juice the veteran has left in the tank. Even if Woods signs elsewhere, he should remain off the fantasy radar in 2025.

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.
