Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Michael Gallup

Sunday, December 14, 6:06 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (wrist) reeled in 2-of-4 targets for ten yards in Sunday's 31-0 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Lockett picked up a wrist injury late in the first half that had the team deem him questionable coming out of halftime. He'd re-enter the game in the third quarter, though he did not receive another opportunity in the passing game. It was a rough day for the offense as a whole, considering Las Vegas ran just 42 offensive plays and was shut out for the second time this season. Even if Lockett makes it through the upcoming week of practice without a setback, he may be falling out of favor in the offense. Rookie wideout Jack Bech has accrued a higher snap share than the veteran in the previous three games, out-producing him in each.

The Washington Commanders released wide receiver Michael Gallup on Monday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Gallup was unable to make Washington's 53-man roster heading into the regular season in his comeback bid after retiring in 2024 shortly after signing with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 29-year-old veteran could return to the Commanders on their practice squad, but if he signs with another team for the regular season, he will merely be competing for a spot on the active game-day roster and won't be on the fantasy radar at all. The former third-rounder (81st overall) by the Dallas Cowboys in 2018 out of Colorado State caught 34 of 57 targets for 418 yards and only two touchdowns in 17 games (13 starts) in 2023 in his final year in Dallas. Gallup's best season came in Year 2, when he put up a 66-1,107-6 line on 113 targets in 14 games (12 starts).
