Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Chris Olave

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 Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was able to come up huge for his team during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. His biggest play of the game was a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Olave would finish his day by hauling in five of his eight targets for 104 yards and one score in the victory. It appears the fourth-year wideout is building solid chemistry with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. This was a promising performance from Olave, as fantasy managers are hopeful for more big games like this from Olave going forward. Sadly, fantasy managers will have to wait until Week 12 as the Saints head into a bye week.
