Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or DK Metcalf

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 DK Metcalf had a disappointing outing in Week 7 but is poised to bounce back against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. The Packers have been strong against the run and average against the pass, setting up a favorable game script for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his weapons. Even with fellow wideout Calvin Austin III (shoulder) returning to the lineup, Metcalf remains the focal point of Pittsburgh's passing attack. He leads the Steelers in all major receiving categories and is tied for the team lead in red zone targets. With this contest projected to feature plenty of scoring, Metcalf profiles as a high-end WR2 and a must-start fantasy option in most formats.
