BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was limited in practice all week with a thigh issue, but he has been cleared to play in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. He'll be a low-end WR4 option for this game.
In Week 1 against the Broncos, Lockett had a solid showing as he was targeted seven times, catching six of those passes for 77 yards. The veteran receiver remained heavily involved in the team's passing attack despite playing just 54% of offensive snaps.
Kinda crazy how between Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett, Seattle has had 2 of the most underrated receivers of the last 15 years https://t.co/8gNucfcx7p

That low snap rate is concerning, as is the fact that he has to share the field with D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He has to continue to take advantage of every opportunity he gets. There's a chance that Week 1 was Lockett playing close to his ceiling.
