The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to sign former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett to a deal today, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Lockett reunites with both quarterback Geno Smith and Pete Carroll, who spent a few seasons together with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran wideout played a small role over seven games in Tennessee, catching just 10 of his 21 targets for 70 yards and no touchdowns. He recorded 894 yards and five touchdowns in his last season under Carroll with the Seahawks in 2023, and will be hoping to carry over some of that success for a Raiders offense that is last in the league in points scored. However, Lockett is unlikely to become relevant in 12-team redraft leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) was a full participant in practice all week and does not carry an injury designation into a Sunday night showdown with the Green Bay Packers. Operating as the team's WR2, Austin showed flashes of chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers over the first four weeks of the season. While he's unlikely to outproduce DK Metcalf most weeks, Austin's explosiveness gives him big-play potential in the right matchups. The Packers have been middle-of-the-road against opposing receivers this season, and with this contest carrying a healthy projected point total, Austin could see a bump in usage. He's not quite on the fantasy radar in most formats, but the 26-year-old offers boom-or-bust flex appeal in deeper leagues.
