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.

Rashid Shaheed News
Monday, March 9, 2:32 PM
The Seattle Seahawks are re-signing wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to a three-year, $51 million deal on Monday that includes $34.7 million guaranteed, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told ESPN's Adam Schefter. For fantasy purposes, it might have been better for Shaheed to go elsewhere, as he only caught 15 of 26 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in nine regular-season games for Seattle last year after they acquired him in a midseason trade from the New Orleans Saints. Shaheed was much more involved on offense in New Orleans, catching 44 of 66 targets for 499 yards and two touchdowns. He will return to the Super Bowl champions as a field stretcher to help get Jaxon Smith-Njigba open underneath. Shaheed is also an excellent kick returner on special teams, being named to his second Pro Bowl last year. Perhaps he'll have a bigger role on offense in his first full year with the team, but Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton are still in the WR room. Shaheed will be more of a boom/bust WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in 2026.
