Ironically he had a rep for being one of those guys who are super inconsistent game to game and blow up for 40 points on your bench, and this year he morphed into a consistent 10-20 every week guy
Logic would dictate they stop running as much 12 personnel and have Lockett, JSN, and DK on the field at the same time as much as possible. While his volume may take a small hit, I think the tight ends will be losing the most targets in this offense moving forward. But Pete Carrol gonna Pete Carrol so who knows lol. Waldron will likely be leaning heavy on him to open the offense up a bit.
I've done a few mocks where JSN has gone ahead of Lockett, and that feels crazy to me, and I like JSN. I think Lockett is a solid 5th round pick and would agree Seattle is more likely to pass more often this season just due to personnel.
Lockett may be the most underrated FF player in the last 10 years. FFC ADP last 5 years: (FFC half PPR) and his stats that year:
Former Lockett owner, his floor is very low and production very unreliable. It seems he has 2-3 blow up games and the rest are poor/mediocre.
This seems like a bad move to me. He's ranked around WR45, about 120 overall. What are you getting for him in a sale? As pointed out, the community is already low on him. Despite the fact he's finished as a borderline WR1 the past 5 seasons. DK has had practically 0 impact on his production since joining the team. And I also don't really buy into the inconsistency/low floor argument posted above by stlrams either; he only scored less than 11pts 3 times last season. He's a very solid hold, and depending on value (WR45 is crazy to me), I'd be buying as a WR3/flex play easily.
I had this perception of him myself but last year in half-ppr he posted 12 games in double digit scoring.
Yeah. I’m really coming around on Lockett at cost.
Geno had a horrible day passing. 112 yards.
Key words in your statement. "week one". Chill
Lockett owner here and it's really really hard to guage what this team is going to look like just based on that game. Target shares were even across all three receivers, well Lockett had one less, but he outsnapped JSN 88% to 59% so for now Lockett is the starter. There weren't enough action to see whether JSN could take over in the starting lineup. I'd move him regardless of one week performance if I get a great offer, but definitely wouldn't move him just because of week 1.
It seems he never sits when he's questionable.
Mark Andrews did not get a goose egg.
Sure, sure, technically you are 100% correct. He put up a whopping 4.3 points before being lost for the game/year.
I didn’t mean to come across as snarky/rude yesterday. Just the literal definition of a goose egg is a zero.
No sweat, Bro. i was disappointed in Andrews injury and output. Then Achane did the same thing...neither "gooseggs", but I lost for sure with little help from them. haha
I own both on the same team as well.
Yep, not the Lockett news I wanted to hear. Dude will be almost 32 when the season starts, though. Guys can fall off suddenly.
True, JSN could very well eclipse Lockett in the pecking order, but still a lot of mouths to feed and who knows how much of a pass friendly offense it will be.
I think there is a decent chance Metcalf is the only WR you can really trust in this offense. Could see the new OC (from University of Washington) using DK in a similar vain to how he used Rome Odunze.
I kinda knew that was gonna happen.
