Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Ricky Pearsall

Friday, November 7, 12:20 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught five of his six targets for 44 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. The veteran receiver made his Raiders debut last week, but he saw just one target in that game, so Thursday's outing represented a major increase in volume for the veteran wideout. Lockett established himself as quarterback Geno Smith's favorite target after the Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars. While Lockett doesn't represent a long-term receiving threat in Las Vegas' rebuild, he still has redraft appeal as a low-end WR3/flex, especially given his connection to Smith and head coach Pete Carroll from their time together in Seattle.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has been running, but he hasn't quite been cleared to make his return after spraining his PCL in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. "He can run and hit certain speeds. But he hasn't been able to hit his normal speeds that would allow him to come back. We're waiting until he hits his markers," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. Pearsall was officially ruled out for Week 10 this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, his sixth straight absence. The 25-year-old was a popular breakout candidate during training camp and the preseason this year, with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, but injury issues of his own have limited him to just four games, and he's running out of time to make an impact for his fantasy managers. Pearsall must get back on the practice field next week to have a chance at playing in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals.
