Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Brandon Aiyuk

Tuesday, October 3, 1:42 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett led the team in receptions, catching four passes for 54 yards. He, along with rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba, also saw the most targets on the team with six. Seattle's Week 4 victory over the New York Giants owed more to the defense than what the offense could produce. Not counting the two-play drive that started on the Giants' seven-yard line following a fumble recovery and resulted in a touchdown thrown to DK Metcalf, five of the Seahawks' 11 series lasted four plays or fewer and only two series lasted longer than three minutes. The Seahawks have a bye in Week 5 which may help the offense gel before heading to Cincinnati in Week 6.

On Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk proved he was just fine after missing one week with a shoulder injury. He caught all six of his targets for 148 yards. Aiyuk satisfied wide receiver coaches everywhere with a couple of soft-handed aesthetically pleasing grabs, including a 42-yard deep shot from quarterback Brock Purdy in the second quarter. Thus far in 2023, Purdy has shown good chemistry with Aiyuk, enough to make the latter a weekly solid WR2 play. That said, Aiyuk could be a bit of a fade in Week 5 when the 49ers host an elite Dallas Cowboys defense on Sunday Night Football.
