Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Allen Lazard

Tuesday, November 18, 11:43 AM

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.

New York Jets wide receivers Allen Lazard and Adonai Mitchell are both healthy inactives for the team's Week 10 contest on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Despite Josh Reynolds (hip) being on Injured Reserve, Lazard will sit out coming out of the team's bye week. The 29-year-old caught just one of his two targets for five yards in the Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and he has only seven catches for 45 yards and a touchdown in 2025 with the Jets. Mitchell was acquired from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline in the deal that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Colts, but the Jets don't think he's ready to contribute on offense just yet. John Metchie III, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles last week, is active, though, and could be battling for WR2 duties behind Wilson in his debut with the team.
