Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or DK Metcalf

Saturday, December 6, 6:47 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett is looking to bounce back after giving fantasy managers a dud last week. Lockett struggled to make an impact, hauling in his lone target for 11 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Before that, Lockett was actually playing well with three catches or more in each of his three previous contests. Lockett has also finished with 40 receiving yards or more in two of his four games in Las Vegas. The familiarity with quarterback Geno Smith has probably helped Lockett get more comfortable in this offense. The biggest problem is that the Raiders' offense hasn't been able to successfully move the ball through the air this season. There is hope that Lockett can have a bounce-back game in Week 14. He hauled in five receptions for 44 yards during the last meeting against the Denver Broncos. Fantasy managers should put Lockett in the low-end flex category for this weekend.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf stayed overnight in a Baltimore hotel after going to a local hospital following the game. Metcalf was experiencing stomach pains on the flight, and, out of an abundance of caution, the team's medical personnel sent him to a nearby hospital. He's flying back to Pittsburgh today. At this point, it's unclear what Metcalf's availability for Week 15 will be, but it's certainly something that fantasy managers will want to monitor closely as the week progresses. Metcalf exploded in Week 14 in the Steelers' huge division win over the Baltimore Ravens, 27-22. Metcalf had 148 receiving yards on 12 targets and seven receptions. Up next for the Steelers is a crucial AFC tilt against the red-hot Miami Dolphins (6-7), who have now won four games in a row.
