Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Tyler Boyd

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett only earned three targets in Seattle's Week 13 win over the New York Jets. He was a chain mover for the Seahawks, but he is no longer integral to the game plan. Lockett plays a specific role as a savvy veteran who can make big catches for this team. However, his days as anything close to a WR2 are officially long gone. At this point, Lockett is not worth a roster spot in fantasy. No one should roster a player who only earns three targets a game and does not score touchdowns. The Seahawks have shifted hard to consolidating targets between wide receivers DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The shift is producing results as both players are having solid seasons. Lockett has been a big name in fantasy for a long time, but it is time to let name value go and move on.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd should be viewed as a desperation flex option in deeper 3WR formats in Week 13 when he faces the Washington Commanders. Last weekend, the veteran wideout enjoyed his best game of the season, catching all six of his targets for a season-high 55 yards. However, during Weeks 6 through 11, Boyd averaged a mere 4.1 PPR points and saw just 2.8 targets per game during this stretch. With Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine operating as the No.1 and 2 receivers, Boyd will have trouble finding consistent targets. However, given his impressive showing last weekend, fantasy managers in 14+ team 3WR formats could consider using Boyd as a desperation flex option facing the Commanders, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points this season to opposing wideouts.
