Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Terry McLaurin

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is once again not on the fantasy radar in Week 17 when Seattle travels to Chicago to play the Bears. Lockett has received very little target volume since Week 7. Even in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings, Lockett could only earn two targets despite quarterback Geno Smith throwing the ball 43 times. The Seahawks have consolidated their targets among the running backs and their top two wide receivers. Lockett is a great veteran presence for this team, but he is not integral to the game plan at all. Despite the Bears being a solid matchup for opposing wide receivers in recent weeks, Lockett should remain on waivers.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin extended his scoring streak to four games on Sunday afternoon. Facing the Eagles, McLaurin brought in five of his six targets for 60 yards and a score. McLaurin found the back of the end zone on a 32-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. McLaurin finished the afternoon with the second-most yards and targets, in which he trailed Olamide Zaccheaus in both statistics. Over his past four contests, McLaurin has tallied six touchdowns while tallying at least 70 receiving yards in all but one game. The 29-year-old should be set up well for another productive showing next weekend against the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
