Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or DeMario Douglas

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice with a knee injury, but he put in full practices on Friday and Saturday and has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. In a pristine matchup, Lockett will be looking to stay heavily involved in the passing attack after catching five of his six targets for a season-high 44 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 33-year-old had only 10 catches for 70 scoreless yards in seven games with the Titans before joining the Raiders and reuniting with quarterback Geno Smith. Lockett and Smith have clear chemistry from their days in Seattle. With that said, Lockett might still be the No. 3 target for Smith behind Tre Tucker and Brock Bowers. Lockett's upside isn't what it used to be, but his chemistry with Smith shouldn't be ignored, and he's facing the worst defense against WRs this week in Dallas. In deeper fantasy leagues, Lockett is in play as a WR4/5 this week.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas isn't expected to see an increase in volume despite Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) being ruled out for a second consecutive week. Douglas caught just two passes on a 21 percent snap share with Boutte sidelined last Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so he should handle similar volume on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. The 24-year-old has been a solid depth contributor this year, but it appears that he's firmly entrenched behind Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams in the pecking order. Fantasy managers should leave Douglas on the bench or the waiver wire this week.
