Despite his reputation as one of the league’s better return men, Tyler Lockett hasn’t been all that productive as an actual receiver. He entered Week 13 with zero touchdowns on the season, and only one game with 100 receiving yards.

Lockett finally found the end zone against the Philadelphia Eagles, and last week he blew up for another score, burning the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 74-yard touchdown and finishing with 100 total yards on the day.
Fantasy impact: Lockett’s performances the past two weeks is encouraging, but it’s still hard to trust him for the fantasy playoffs. His return yardage numbers are also way down from previous seasons, making him less reliable in leagues that count that stat.
With the Seahawks possibly going run-heavy against the Los Angeles Rams (whose defense is giving up the eighth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers), Lockett could go invisible again. He had only three catches for 26 yards when these teams last played in Week 5.
Recommendation: Sit
