Tyler Lockett News
Sunday, December 28, 7:59 PM
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett tallied two receptions and nine yards off his three targets during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the New York Giants in Week 17. The veteran wide receiver's fantasy day was saved by his reception in the back of the end zone on a quarterback Geno Smith (ankle) scramble late in the third quarter. Lockett was competing for targets with the fourth-round rookie wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr., but the Raiders' offense struggled to sustain drives or keep a clean pocket against the Giants' defense. If rookie wide receiver Jack Bech (back), who was a late addition to the Week 17 injury report and was ruled out before kickoff on Sunday, Lockett should resume his part-time WR3 role in Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs' defense is a bottom-10 matchup for opposing wide receivers, keeping Lockett in deep-league WR4/Flex territory heading into the final game of the 2025 season.

DK Metcalf News
Monday, August 24, 8:39 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (undisclosed) was in pads as he returned to training camp practice on Monday, according to Chris Ward of Steelers Now. Metcalf is returning for the first time since suffering an undisclosed injury in practice back on Aug. 8. The veteran wideout said last week that he felt fine and that he is 100% healthy. He said he would be available if it were the regular season. Along with Metcalf, new pass-catcher Michael Pittman Jr. (hamstring) also returned to practice on Monday as the team gears up for the Week 1 regular-season opener in a few weeks. The Steelers were playing it safe the last couple of weeks with their top two WRs, but they should both be ready for the season opener as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top targets. The 28-year-old Metcalf caught 59 passes for 850 yards and six touchdowns in 15 regular-season starts in 2025 in his first year in the Steel City. Fantasy managers shouldn't necessarily bank on a bounce-back to the 1,000-yard mark for Metcalf in his eighth year in the league with an aging QB in his final season and after the addition of Pittman, who Rodgers could lean on heavily as a short-area target.
