Raiders rookie WR Jack Bech played a season-high 82% of the snaps in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He also drew a team-high six targets, catching all of them for 50 yards. That set season highs for Bech in each of those categories. TE Brock Bowers followed with a 4-46 receiving line on five targets. WR Tyler Lockett posted a 3-41 on four targets. WR Tre Tucker caught two of five targets for 24 yards.

The Jaguars are trading fourth- and sixth-round picks to the Raiders for WR Jakobi Meyers. The move comes amid multiple WR injury situations that Jacksonville is navigating.

The Raiders are signing WR Tyler Lockett, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Lockett will reunite with QB Geno Smith after the duo spent 2020-2024 together in Seattle. There's opportunity for Lockett to get snaps in a weak Raiders WR corps, especially if Jakobi Meyers is traded before next week's deadline. But Lockett won't be a fantasy factor. He averaged just 10 yards across seven games for the Titans this season -- after averaging 35.3 for the Seahawks last year.

WR Tyler Lockett has asked for and been granted his release from the Titans, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The 33-year-old evidently had enough of this rebuilding Tennessee team. Of course, Lockett wasn't doing anything to help the offense. Clearly at the end of the line, he totaled just 10 catches on 21 targets through seven games. Schefter says that Lockett is expected to sign elsewhere, but he won't be a fantasy factor.

Titans rookie WR Elic Ayomanor caught his first career TD pass in Sunday's loss to the Rams. That 9-yard TD capped a 4-56-1 receiving line on six targets. Ayomanor tied Chig Okonkwo and Calvin Ridley for the team lead in that category.

The Titans waived injured WR Treylon Burks on Monday. He sustained a broken collarbone in practice on the 26th. The Titans will move forward with Calvin Ridley as the clear No. 1 WR, with Tyler Lockett, Van Jefferson, Elic Ayomanor, and Chimere Dike battling for targets.

Titans QB Cam Ward is “everything the Titans hoped for, off the field,” per The Athletic’s Joe Rexrode. Ward has also impressed with his performance in offseason practices.

The Titans have agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with WR Tyler Lockett, according to multiple reports. The contract will hold another $2 million in incentives.

The Seahawks are releasing WR Tyler Lockett. The 32-year-old has spent 10 years with the team after arriving as a third-round pick in 2015. From 2019-2023, Lockett topped 100 targets and 70 receptions every year, finishing 16th or higher among PPR WRs in four of those five seasons. His production fell off last year, though. Lockett ranked third on the team in targets and catches but just fifth in receptions per game, trailing TE Noah Fant and RB Kenneth Walker III.

The Seahawks are hiring Klint Kubiak as their OC, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It'll be Kubiak's third OC gig, following stints with the Vikings (2021) and Saints (2024). That Vikings squad finished 12th in total yards and 14th in points. The 2024 Saints got off to a hot start, scoring 91 points over the first two games of the season. But they averaged just 16.5 points per game the rest of the way, due at least in part to injuries to QB Derek Carr and the offensive line. Kubiak's Saints ranked 19th in neutral pass rate and 25th in pass rate over expected. The 2021 Vikings -- quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins -- finished 12th in neutral pass rate and 17th in pass rate over expected. The 2025 Seahawks figure to be a more balanced offense than last year's version, which ranked third in neutral pass rate and sixth in pass rate over expected.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's clearly on track to start this weekend's game vs. the Vikings -- and it looks like he'll be closer to 100% than we thought. Smith still isn't a recommended QB1 play (he's finished outside the top 18 QBs in fantasy points in five straight), but his availability is good news for Seattle's skill-position players.

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said after Sunday night's loss to the Packers that QB Geno Smith's right knee is "structurally" ok. "(It was) severe enough for him not to come back in the game," Macdonald added. "We'll do all the tests tomorrow and kind of figure it out as we go. ... I know we'll do everything humanely possible to go play, but just don't know right now." We should get another update by the end of today, but it sounds more likely than not that Smith misses time. That'd leave Sam Howell under center. He struggled badly in relief of Smith against Green Bay, completing just 5 of 14 passes for 24 yards and an INT. Howell was a mixed bag as Washington's starter last year, throwing for 3,946 yards and 21 TDs but also tossing 21 INTs and taking 65 sacks. He's a clear downgrade from Smith -- but better than most backups in the league.

Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) were removed from the final Week 13 injury report. Both guys were sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to full practices on Friday. At this point, there’s no reason to believe that they won’t be ready for their usual roles vs. the Jets on Sunday. We’ll let you know if that changes.

Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) missed practice again on Thursday. Both guys are seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Jets. That'd leave Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo, and Cody White as Seattle's top three WRs. Check back tomorrow for another update on Metcalf and Lockett.

Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. There have been no further updates on either guy. We'll see if they get back on the practice field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday's game vs. the Jets.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. There was optimism early in the week that Metcalf would be back for this one, but he seemingly didn’t progress as hoped over the past few days. He gets a Week 10 bye to heal up. Metcalf will again be replaced by WR Jake Bobo this weekend. He’s only an option as a cheap flier in DFS tournaments. WRs Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett gain target upside with Metcalf sidelined.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf is considered "week to week" with a Grade 1 MCL sprain suffered in the Week 7 win over the Falcons, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Seattle gets the Bills and Rams the next two weeks before a Week 10 bye, so it's possible we don't see Metcalf again until Week 11.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) is not listed on the final Week 7 injury report. He was added on Thursday and held out of practice but will play vs. the Falcons on Sunday. Lockett sits just 44th among WRs in PPR points per game through Week 6 but has some WR3 appeal this week in a game with shootout potential.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) did not practice on Thursday. He wasn't even on Wednesday's injury report, so Lockett either hurt his knee between then and Thursday or just got a veteran day off. We'll update his status when we get Seattle's final injury report tomorrow.
