Tyler Lockett Has Quiet Week 3

Monday, September 25, 4:51 AM

After bringing in eight catches and finding the end zone twice in Week 2, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had a dud of a game in Week 3. The 31-year-old caught just three of his seven targets for 34 yards in Seattle's win over the Carolina Panthers. Perhaps the final line was the result of adjustments made to the game plan at halftime, as all but three of Geno Smith's pass attempts in the second half went to tight ends or running backs. While it didn't count as an official reception, Lockett fought off safety Jeremy Chinn to catch the pass that sealed Seattle's two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. Even after a down week, Lockett is worthy of WR3/FLEX consideration for Seattle's Week 4 game against the New York Giants.

Michael Pittman Jr. Reels In Nine Catches In Week 3 Win

Monday, September 25, 11:04 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had another solid outing in the team's 22-19 overtime win against the Baltimore Ravens, hauling in nine catches for 77 yards. Pittman Jr. continues to be a favored target of both quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson, receiving double-digit targets for the third week in a row with 11. The 25-year-old receiver provides an incredibly safe floor weekly in PPR formats with his target share and has WR1 upside if he can find the end zone in upcoming matchups. He'll face a Los Angeles Rams defense in Week 4 that has been surprisingly stingy to opposing wideouts, but he can confidently be included in lineups for that contest.
