Tyler Lockett Signing With Raiders

Monday, October 27, 9:14 AM

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.

Jalen Tolbert No Longer Reliable After Losing Snaps to Teammate?

Saturday, October 11, 12:47 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is not a reliable fantasy option for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. While Tolbert experienced a short stint of fantasy relevance with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) sidelined, he has lost significant allure after seemingly being supplanted by Ryan Flournoy. Last week, Tolbert had one target and zero catches on a 77 percent snap share while Flournoy had nine targets, six catches, and 114 yards on a 57 percent snap share. The latter has earned additional snaps going forward, while Tolbert is seemingly no longer a dependable target in Dak Prescott's offense. Tolbert should drop to third on the depth chart this week behind Flournoy and George Pickens, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most leagues. Managers can drop him to waivers and find a different receiver with a more consistent role and greater upside.
