Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Treylon Burks

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.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks caught just one of his six targets for five yards in the blowout loss to the Cleveland Browns. He has failed to make a real fantasy impact this season after an up-and-down rookie campaign last year, so he's starting to look more and more like a bust. There is still time for the Arkansas product to turn things around, but he is off the fantasy radar until further notice. Ryan Tannehill is playing the worst football of his career so far to begin the 2023 season. That does not bode well for Burks' rest-of-season outlook.
