Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Baker Mayfield

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett only caught one pass on three targets for nine yards in Seattle's Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Seahawks had trouble getting anything going on offense and Lockett was the odd man out. He was in position for a massive workload with top wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) out. However, the Bills had other plans and severely limited the upside of all of Seattle's skill players. Still, Lockett's output was puzzling. He had earned at least six targets in every game but one this season. He should have at least delivered flex value in this game. Look for Lockett to bounce back in Week 9 when the Seahawks host the Los Angeles Rams. If Metcalf misses again, then Lockett should be able to meet his usual target number.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield showed up ready to play despite losing his top two wide receivers last week. Mayfield didn't miss a step as he completed 37-of-50 passing attempts for three touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 29-year-old now has thrown for over 300 yards in four of his last five games. The Bucs aren't going to have Mike Evans (hamstring) or Chris Godwin (ankle) for quite some time, but they've found a way to move the ball without them. He does head into a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. However, Mayfield has shown no signs of slowing down and is a must-start for fantasy managers.
