Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett hopes to bounce back in Arizona against the Cardinals, but that will be a tall order if cornerback Patrick Peterson lines up across from him Thursday night. Lockett is coming off of one of his worse statistical games of the season as Seahawks QB Russell Wilson struggled throwing the ball. He had two catches on eight targets for 10 yards in the loss to Washington. Lockett had a season-high six catches for 121 receiving yards in Week 8.

All of the Seahawks receivers had a down week Sunday with Wilson struggling. Lockett did tie for second in targets in the loss to Washington with TE Jimmy Graham. Lockett should get a lot of looks Thursday night with the Seahawks essentially abandoning the run.
Fantasy impact: Thursday night could go either way for Lockett. The Seahawks may be down a receiving threat, which should give Lockett more targets, but Wilson’s play is up in the air. The matchup looks good against a Cardinals defense that has given up the third-most touchdowns to opposing wide receivers this season. However, if Lockett draws Peterson for this matchup, he could have another quiet week. Lockett is always a risky fantasy play because of his boom or bust tendencies. Tough call but, Wilson is going to throw a lot and Lockett just needs a handful of catches to go off.
