I agree with this. Not to say it is indeed serious, but Carroll is often overly optimistic , as we’ve seen for a few weeks now with Carson and Hyde. The next few days will be telling.

Not sure about Seattle, but Tuesdays are usually off days for most teams and there is no requirement for injury updates.

Yep, with PP on DK, and Lockett out, and a potential shootout, Moore should be heavily involved.
Absolutely!! I’d say he becomes a strong WR2 if Lockett is out, which I think is going to be the case.

pete's presser, watch for yourself.
3:40 mark
Reporter: how's tyler lockett doing?
PC: he worked well today.... he looked fine....
Reporter: you think he's going to play tomorrow?
PC: I dont think there's any doubt he's playing tomorrow. he just looked too good on the practice field today.....
then a few seconds after that he qualified his statement by adding "i do want to add we have to see how he his after today... that's an unknown right now... as much as i would like to be optimistic we do have to see how he is after the work today."

Nice find bro thanks for posting !
Kinda felt like the typical Pete Carroll “he’s totally fine” response followed by a realization he wasn’t supposed to say that lol.
maybe it’s Lockett’s call with the short week who knows.
Im 50/50 on him playing after watching that, glad I picked up Moore.
Carroll also talked about them having to slow Lockett down, and Schefter has already tweeted that Lockett is all systems go tonight...

Wow that is definitely a writer that gets paid by the word.
For those looking for the answer and not Tyler's Lockett's complete life history the answer is that he was upgraded to probable.

I'd personally like to see a top-14 all time fantasy WR game.Sounds like he looks great in warm ups and you could never tell he was dealing with anything. Hoping for 100 and 1. His previous explosion against them was one of the top 15 all time fantasy games for a WR

9/9 tonight. Easily looked like the best WR on the field, and that’s with Hopkins and Metcalf playing.
Metcalf was 3/5 one was a bad drop the other banged off his helmet in the end zone ended the drive with a FG instead.
They seemed intent on trying to get Metcalf the ball, but it seemed like everything just flowed more easily when Lockett was getting the targets.

Couple of bad drops for Metcalf for sure. Don’t forget about the 40 yarder down the sideline wiped out by the phantom holding call. They’re different receivers, so tough to compare. My best visual for comparison is Moss and Welker in New England a few years back.
Health has always been the issue! We just need him to keep it going for another 5 weeks. Glad to see he made it through the game last night and gets a mini-bye before week 12.

I think this is by design.
They compliment each other so well. The things that Lockett lacks, size and strength, Metcalf has those traits in spades. The things that Metcalf lacks, like change of direction ability to be quick in and out of their breaks, Lockett has in spades. So you work route concepts that make the defense pick their poison and when the priority becomes preventing Metcalf from beating the defense deep it opens up a lot of things that Lockett can do underneath that.
Troy Aikman isn't the most observant color commentator around but I agree with his statement about the out route being open from them whenever Wilson wanted it, and that is largely because of Metcalf taking the defense deep while at the same time having Lockett run speed outs.
As far as flow goes Lockett is a much more refined route runner than Metcalf is. Hell I would say Lockett was better at that in college than Metcalf is right now.
Metcalf is a beast anyways and I do think he is getting better.

The Metcalf hype is certainly legit. It’s all we Ravens fans talk about this year with the Ravens passing game what it is and how we passed up Metcalf for Hollywood.Biabreakable said:
Like you said he’s getting there. Can’t imagine he’s drafted outside of the top 12 WRs next year in most leagues. And you can see that being spot on you can also see it taking one more year I feel like, it will be fun to watch.

Anyone thinking of benching Lockett with a tough matchup, and if yes, who are you starting in his place? I know he’s capable of blowing up, but that offense has floundered and they may not let Russ cook a much. Also, one can’t forget that Haskins is playing and how many points will they need to win.
In a standard league, I’m between Lockett and Gus Edwards. Let’s here what you’re considering!

Playing him over DJ Moore

Thankfully have better options with ARob/AJB/Dio Johnson and am comfortable letting him go off on the bench rather than stink it up in starting lineup. Seahawks have been slowly returning to their “get cute” kind of football recently and I just don’t trust him or the game plan

This is where I'm at, benching him for the first time all year for ARob. Dio is tempting too but one drop and your fanasty day could be done.

I’m considering benching him for Gus Edwards, and haven’t benched him all year (standard)...I’ll be pissed if I sit Lockett and he goes off, but would be okay if Gus goes off

Please give some production to Metcalf?

"Lockett and DK Metcalf each saw a team-high 11 targets"
DK seems to be getting his chances...
and it is always on some terrible missed tackling. I thought for sure this week was going to be DK's week.

Sell high?

Unless I was hurting bad at another position I don't see the reason to sell. Lockett and Russ seem to be locked in this year. Sure he'll have games that aren't as good as others, but so do Hill/Adams/Diggs etc.
