Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or D.J. Chark

Sunday, March 10, 12:08 AM

The Seattle Seahawks and wide receiver Tyler Lockett agreed on a two-year, $30 million restructured contract on Saturday. The deal includes a maximum value of $34 million, including $13 million guaranteed this year. The restructured deal gives the Seahawks extra cap space with NFL free agency officially beginning on Wednesday. The 31-year-old caught 79 passes for 894 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games in 2023, his lowest yardage output since 2017. Lockett will remain Seattle's No. 2 wideout behind superstar DK Metcalf and compete for targets with first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The veteran wideout is a boom-or-bust fantasy option and a better best-ball pick than standard PPR formats. Lockett is a fantasy WR3 heading into early best-ball drafts in 2024.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. caught two of his four targets for 46 yards in a 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. Chark wound up leading the team in receiving in the loss. He was quiet for most of the season but finished the year on a high note as he went for nine catches, 162 yards, and two touchdowns over his final three games. Chark will look to catch on with another team this offseason as he will be an unrestricted free-agent.
