Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Rashid Shaheed

Wednesday, November 12, 11:37 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett has seemingly resurrected his career after signing with the team on October 27. After seeing just 19 snaps in Week 9, Lockett was on the field for 34 plays in Week 11. The savvy veteran reunited with quarterback Geno Smith, and hauled in five passes for 44 yards. With Lockett already having a strong relationship with Smith, the situation couldn't be better for the 33-year-old wideout. Lockett's crisp route running should continue to shine, as the Raiders utilize him alongside Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker. Lockett is a must-add for PPR formats.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was acquired less than one week ago, but he could make an immediate impact while facing off against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. The 27-year-old had 44 catches, 499 yards, and two touchdowns through nine games with poor quarterback play in New Orleans, so the sky is the limit as he gets paired up with a gunslinging quarterback in Sam Darnold, who threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns just last week. While Shaheed may face a brief adjustment period as he acclimates to the new system, we expect that he'll be thrust into a high-volume role pretty quickly, even if by necessity. Seattle is dealing with numerous wide receiver injuries, leaving Shaheed in line to share No. 2 receiver duties with Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel). Managers should view Shaheed as a WR3/flex most weeks. His floor and ceiling should both increase after just a few games with the Seahawks.
