Lockett was one of two Seahawks receivers with six catches and more than 100 yards receiving and he led the team in receiving yards in Week 8.

Lockett and the entire Seahawks receiving core are benefiting from the improved play of QB Russell Wilson. The Seahawks offense will look continue to soar against Washington this week. Washington plays well against the pass behind cornerback Josh Norman, however, Norman will likely shadow Doug Baldwin most of the game.
Fantasy impact: There are many reasons to like Lockett and the Seahawks offense right now. Wilson is throwing lights out and spreading the ball around well. The Seahawks do not have much of a run game so Wilson is throwing around 40 times per game. Lastly, receivers have success against Washington when they are not shadowed by Norman. He may not have a huge game again this week, however, Lockett has lots of upside and should be starting across all leagues.
