Tyler Lockett Remains A Dependable Option For Seahawks
4 years agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who owns the highest catch-rate difference in Next Gen Stats history, saw his catch-rate difference drop by more than four percentage points from 2019 to 2020, mostly due to the emergence of teammate D.K. Metcalf. Lockett had a higher expected catch rate (67.8 percent), and his catch rate actually increased, going from 74.5 percent in 2019 to 75.8 percent last year. He had 32 catches, 342 yards and three touchdowns on 37 crossing-route targets, the most in the NFL in each category on such a route. Lockett also had 11 catches on 13 targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns on scramble drills, tying for the second-most yards in such situations. While the 28-year-old has taken a bit of a back seat to Lockett, he's still one of the league's best deep threats and should continue to be a safe top-30 fantasy receiver.
