Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Brock Bowers

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.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers had a quieter day than usual in his team's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8 after he caught all five of his targets for 58 yards. He caught two of those passes, totaling 19 yards, during the garbage-time drive the Raiders put forth near the end of the game. It was a relatively pedestrian day for the breakout superstar. The Chiefs appeared to make it a priority to slow him down, and rightly so, as he's their best offensive weapon. He'll still be a must-start top-5 TE in all fantasy leagues heading into a softer Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals and their struggling defensive unit.
