Bottom Line

Lockett finished 16th among WRs in PPR points per game last year; 13th if you omit the Week 17 game he left early.

That was his fifth straight top-25 finish.

Lockett turns 31 in September but has shown no signs of decline. In fact, he beat teammate D.K. Metcalf in yards per target, yards per route run, and Pro Football Focus receiving grade last year.

First-round rookie WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba adds target competition this season. But we’re expecting him to steal most of his action from Seattle’s ancillary pieces. It simply wouldn’t make sense for the Seahawks to reduce Lockett’s role.

Lockett looks like a rock-solid WR2 that’ll likely come at a value in your fantasy drafts.


What We Learned Last Year
  • Lockett caught 84 balls for 1,033 yards and 9 TDs in 16 games last year.
  • He missed Week 16 with a broken hand and was limited to a 32% snap rate in Week 17 due to a shin injury.
  • His scoring average in 15 healthy games ranked 13th among WRs in PPR points and 11th in non-PPR.
  • Lockett was a steady producer. He scored as a top-36 PPR WR in 13 of those 15 games and top-24 in 10 of 15. He finished as a top-12 WR three times.
  • Lockett averaged 7.7 targets on a 22.8% target share in his 15 healthy games. Teammate D.K. Metcalf averaged 8.5 targets on a 25.2% share in those same 15 games.
  • Lockett, though, beat Metcalf in yards per target, yards per route run, and Pro Football Focus receiving grade.
  • Lockett’s ranks in those metrics among 80 WRs with 50+ targets:
    • yards per target: 20th
    • yards per route run: 20th
    • PFF grade: 20th
  • Lockett also beat Metcalf in PPR and non-PPR points per game last year.

What to Expect in 2023
  • Lockett has now finished as a top-25 WR in PPR points per game in five straight seasons.
    • 2018: 25th
    • 2019: 23rd
    • 2020: 12th
    • 2021: 20th
    • 2022: 16th
  • He returns to the same offense (OC Shane Waldron) with the same QB (Geno Smith) in 2023. Any reason to expect him to finish outside the top 25 this season?
  • The haters will point to two things: His age and the addition of WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
  • Lockett turns 31 in September. Our aging-curve research shows that WRs of Lockett’s quality produce, on average, 82% of their peak numbers at age-31.
    • 82% of Lockett’s peak would be 13.6 PPR points per game – good for 22nd among WRs last year.
    • And Lockett has shown no signs of decline. His yards per route run and PFF receiving grade last year were right in line with the previous four seasons.
  • Smith-Njigba is an exciting talent and should immediately play a significant role in Seattle’s passing game. But that doesn’t mean he’ll steal much volume from Lockett. Behind Lockett and Metcalf, Seattle’s other WRs combined for 75 targets last year. And the team’s top three TEs totaled 135 targets. Smith-Njigba could especially cut into that number if the Seahawks deploy more three-WR sets.

Geno Smith, QB SEA

Geno Smith still a game-time decision

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (groin) remains a game-time decision for Sunday's meeting with the 49ers, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Smith "will try and play in what's become a hugely important matchup for Seattle," Schultz adds. If he's a true game-time call, though, we won't know if Smith is playing until Seattle's inactives come out a little after 2:30 pm ET. QB Drew Lock will start if Smith can't -- and would be a significant downgrade for WRs D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He injured his groin on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday. HC Pete Carroll was non-committal on Smith’s availability, saying they’ll take the decision up to game time. QB Drew Lock will get the start against San Francisco if Smith is out. That’d be a significant downgrade for the offense.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (elbow) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers. He was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, though, and HC Pete Carroll said afterward that Smith "looked good, felt good." Insider Jordan Schultz confirms that Smith is expected to start against San Francisco. That's good news for Seattle's offense, but Smith is only a QB2 this week at less than 100% in a bad matchup.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said Monday that there's no structural damage to QB Geno Smith's elbow. Smith is sore, though, and will be evaluated over the next few days, Carroll added. It sounds like Smith is uncertain for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers, although we'd expect him to push to play in such a big game. We'll keep tabs on his status. QB Drew Lock would be a significant downgrade for the offense if Smith is unable to play.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said after Sunday's loss to the Rams that QB Geno Smith has a bruise on his “tricep, back of his elbow” that “blew up a little bit.” Carroll wouldn’t say whether Smith will be able to play vs. the 49ers on Thanksgiving night. If not, Seattle will turn to QB Drew Lock, who went 2 of 6 for three yards and an INT today. We should get another update on Smith on Monday.
