He has been one of the best scoring WRs in the last few years, even with Geno. That is, until this year. Smiths go to is Metcalf, but Locket is always the deep TD threat but that has not been the case this year. What is the collective take on what’s going on? Should I bail on him?
I mean hes always been very subpar expect for some 30 pts sprinkles. Lets not get this twisted.
Would you guys go Tank Dell on the return against the Panthers over him?
I say Tank. He’s been way better than Lockett so far this season. Lockett’s matchup against Cleveland is pretty brutal this week (and for the rest of season actually). The Panthers’ pass rush is bad which should be good for Tank, giving him time to run his downfield routes.
The only question I have is whether the Texans will pass a lot this game vs. running the ball. They could choose to run more than usual just because the Panthers are bad at stopping the run.
Lockett has always been a very consistent WR, but has been quiet about it. Kinda like how Mike Evans is remarkably consistent but isn’t considered elite on the same level as Jefferson and those guys. Lockett’s getting older but the talent is still there, the problem is Hawks’ OL has been incredibly injured all year and Geno has to get the ball out quickly. They’re also running Walker a lot more than people expected.
Lockett has always been one of the most underrated WRs that quietly puts up consistently good numbers. The issues this year with his fantasy stats have more to do with Seattle’s OL problems and the impact it has on their offense.
I dropped him in my 10 team league. Lockett’s numbers are all down this year. To me he looks like age is catching up to him. Targets and YAC are both down. Geno looks worse. Bobo and JSN are threatening his target share. His poor production with DK sitting out last week was the final straw for me. I was already going to drop him, then I took a look at his schedule for the rest of the season. It looks really bad for WRs.
