Tyler Lockett has caught +8.3 recOE (4th in NFL) along with a +10.8% CROE (5th, min. 30 tgts) this season

Quiet night in Week 12 loss

Lockett secured three of five targets for 30 yards in the Seahawks' 31-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday.

Analysis: Lockett tied DK Metcalf with the team lead in receptions while checking in second in targets. The speedy veteran wideout also had the ball taken from him by the 49ers' Ambry Thomas for Geno Smith's one interception of the night, and his yardage total was his lowest since Week 1. It doesn't get any easier for the Seahawks offense in Week 13, as they face the Cowboys on the road in a Thursday night matchup.

Full participant Tuesday

Lockett (hamstring) was a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lockett has been a regular on Seattle's injury report for the last six weeks with a hamstring issue. His full participation Tuesday indicates he is on track to suit up for Thursday's matchup with the 49ers. The veteran pass catcher recorded five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards on a season-low 57 percent of his team's offensive snaps in the Seahawks' Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Remains limited by hamstring

Lockett (hamstring) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: As he has for six weeks in a row now, Lockett is dealing with a hamstring injury as the Seahawks prep for a game. Last week, he didn't practice at all but was able to suit up Sunday at the Rams, gathering in five of seven targets for 51 yards while playing a season-low 57 percent of the offensive snaps. Seattle likely will take it easy on Lockett this week, too, and Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether or not he has a designation ahead of Thursday's contest versus the 49ers.

Gains 51 yards in loss

Lockett (hamstring) finished with five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: Lockett has been dealing with a bum hamstring for several weeks, but his status appeared to truly be questionable leading up to Sunday's eventual start. The Seattle stalwart wound up providing an average fantasy line for managers who rolled the dice on his health. Lockett completed Sunday's contest without any setbacks, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his name remain on the injury report for the upcoming short practice week leading up to Thursday's matchup against the 49ers.

Active in Week 11

Lockett (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams.

Analysis: For five weeks running, Lockett has been impacted by a lingering hamstring injury, which didn't allow him to practice at all during Week 11 prep. A questionable designation for Sunday's game followed, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Lockett was in line to suit up. With his availability now confirmed, Lockett will be looking to improve upon his 2-10-0 line on four targets that he put up against L.A.'s defense back in the season opener.

Likely to play against Rams

Lockett (hamstring) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lockett missed all three practices this week, and while the veteran receiver isn't someone who needs to practice in order to play on Sundays, it's fair to wonder how close to 100 percent he might be leading up to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he avoids the inactive list, Lockett should start Sunday, but he may end up facing more limitations with his snap count than usual. If that's the case, DK Metcalf and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba could be needed to absorb some extra targets.

Appears truly questionable

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll suggested Friday that Lockett (hamstring) is truly questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett was listed as questionable with the same injury three weeks ago, when he put up an 8-81-1 line on Cleveland's top-notch secondary. He then avoided a game designation the past two weeks, but it sounds like his status is up in the air this time around after being held out of practice three days in a row. Carroll mentioned that the wide receiver did some running Friday and told reporters that he'll take things day by day with Lockett ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. A matchup…read more

Questionable for Sunday

Lockett (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Listed on Seattle's injury reports for the past month, Lockett will enter the weekend with a designation for the second time. The first time was Week 8, when he ended up catching eight passes for 81 yards and a touchdown against an excellent Cleveland secondary. He seems more likely than not to play at this point, though an upcoming Thursday matchup with San Francisco in Week 12 could perhaps inspire the Seahawks to be more cautious than normal.

Doesn't practice again Thursday

Lockett (hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: During his five-week stretch dealing with a hamstring issue, Lockett previously sat out the first two sessions of Week 8 prep before capping it with a full practice and a questionable designation ahead of game day. This week, he also has yet to practice, so he may be destined for a similar fate. Friday's injury report will unveil his potential to suit up for Sunday's road game against the Rams.

Doesn't practice Wednesday

Lockett (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: For a fifth consecutive week, the Seahawks are placing some practice restrictions on Lockett due to a lingering hamstring issue. The injury hasn't stopped him from suiting up on game days, as he's put together a 23-243-2 receiving line on 32 targets over the last four contests. Lockett will have two more opportunities this week to get back to full activity before the team potentially gives him a designation for Sunday's road matchup with the Rams.

Cashes in fourth TD Sunday

Lockett (hamstring) had eight receptions on 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.

Analysis: Lockett powered through his lingering hamstring injury to post one of his better receiving lines of the season Sunday. The veteran's eight receptions and 10 targets both matched his previous highs in each category this season, as his usage did not decrease despite playing at less than 100 percent in recent weeks. Lockett's 46-494-4 receiving line through nine starts should be enough to earn a spot in most lineups when the Seahawks visit the Rams next Sunday.

Logs full practice Thursday

Lockett (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: After logging a limited session Wednesday due to his lingering hamstring issue, Lockett was back to full activity one day later. The hamstring injury has affected Lockett's practice participation since Week 7, but he has yet to miss any games and is on track to suit up again this Sunday versus the Commanders.

Kicks off week as limited

Lockett (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: For the fourth week in a row, Lockett is making an appearance on Seahawks practice reports due to a lingering hamstring issue. In three games playing through the injury, he's racked up a 15-151-1 receiving line on 22 targets. Because he avoided a designation on the final report of the week twice during that span, Lockett's status for Sunday's game against the Commanders likely isn't in question. Still, his status should be monitored to ensure he trends in such a direction.

Little production on eight targets

Lockett recorded three catches on eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: Lockett was the most-targeted wide receiver in Seattle's offense, though his lack of production was indicative of the team's overall struggles. His biggest play of the day came on his first target, which went for an 18-yard gain. Lockett entered Sunday with more than 80 receiving yards in two of his previous three games, though he has also now been held under 40 yards in four of eight contests.

Clear for Week 9

Lockett (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett has been tending to a hamstring injury for three weeks running, but despite sitting out Wednesday's session before practicing in a limited fashion Thursday, he'll be available for the eighth time in as many games this season. He'll be looking to build upon a 35-390-3 line on 49 targets to date against the Ravens' third-ranked pass defense (176.6 yards per game) Sunday.

Manages limited practice Thursday

Lockett (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: After being listed as a DNP on four of Seattle's previous five practice reports, Lockett finally is logging a capped session (he was full last Friday). It's a step in the right direction, but he still has some work to do to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Baltimore. Meanwhile, DK Metcalf (hip) didn't practice Thursday, clouding the Week 9 statuses of the team's top two wide receivers.

Sits out Wednesday's practice

Lockett (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Dating back to Week 7 prep, Lockett now has been listed as a non-participant on four of the Seahawks' last five injury reports due to a hamstring issue, but it hasn't stopped him from suiting up the last two contests on his way to 12 catches (on 14 targets) for 119 yards and one touchdown. He may follow a similar practice pattern until his hamstring is back to 100 percent, but his availability for game days doesn't appear to be in much question.

Finds end zone in victory

Lockett recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Analysis: Lockett's nine targets were surprisingly his second-highest total of the season, which allowed him to top 80 yards in a game for as many times on the campaign -- both of which came in his last three games. The highlight of his performance came on a 12-yard touchdown reception midway through the second quarter, his first time in the end zone since Week 2. When possible, the Seahawks try to run an offense centered on the ground game, which has served to limit Lockett's volume and production…read more

Suiting up in Week 8

Lockett (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Browns.

Analysis: Lockett was able to play through a hamstring injury Week 7 when DK Metcalf was inactive due to rib and hip issues. After opening Week 8 prep with back-to-back missed practices because of the lingering health concern, Lockett capped it with a full session, and while the wide receiver was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, coach Pete Carroll told Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times on Friday that Lockett was in line to play this weekend. Indeed, that has come to pass, but Lockett may have…read more

In line to play Sunday

Lockett (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lockett, who is officially listed as questionable, practiced in full Friday and looks on track to suit up Week 8. The veteran wideout's status will be made official when Seattle releases its inactive list roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, the Seahawks already have DK Metcalf back on the field after he missed Week 7 win over Arizona with rib and hip injuries.

On track to play

Lockett (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday after being listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: According to Condotta, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Lockett made it through practice without any issues and is expected to be active ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. The wide receiver didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his absences may have been more so out of a matter of caution than a result of him not being healthy enough to participate. Still, cautious fantasy managers will want to check back in Sunday to make sure Lockett is active for his matchup with a tough…read more

Practices, deemed questionable

Lockett (hamstring) returned to practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Lockett likely will be a limited participant Friday after missing practice entirely Wednesday and Thursday. Still, Lockett's return to practice in some capacity gives him a shot to play Sunday. With the Seahawks and Browns kicking off at 4:05 p.m. ET, fantasy managers could have a game-time decision on their hands. The combination of a hamstring injury and a matchup with Cleveland's excellent secondary isn't ideal even if Lockett ends up playing and is able to handle his usual snap workload.

No practice Thursday

Lockett (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Dating back to last week, Lockett has missed three straight practices due to a hamstring issue. He didn't seem worse for wear this past Sunday against the Cardinals, logging 71 percent of snaps and gathering in four of five targets for 38 yards with DK Metcalf (ribs/hip) sidelined. This time around, Lockett is the Seahawks wide receiver most in danger of sitting out Week 8, as Metcalf logged full sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Friday's injury report may provide insight into whether or not…read more

Sits out practice Wednesday

Lockett (hamstring) was held out of Wednesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: With DK Metcalf (ribs/hip) sidelined during this past Sunday's win over the Cardinals, Lockett didn't get much more run than normal (70 percent snap share) and also ranked third among Seahawks in receiving yards (38) behind rookies Jaxon Smith-Njigba (63) and Jake Bobo (61). The hamstring injury that contained Lockett to limited sessions last Wednesday and Thursday now is keeping him out of drills for a second straight practice dating back to Week 7 prep. As a result, his status will be one to…read more

Quiet game as youngsters shine

Lockett (hamstring) had four receptions on five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Cardinals.

Analysis: Seattle was without the services of top wideout DK Metcalf (ribs/hip) on Sunday, pushing Lockett into the No. 1 role after overcoming a minor injury of his own. The veteran saw his targets decrease to five against Arizona after averaging seven over his previous six contests. Lockett gave way to rookies Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jake Bobo, who each scored a touchdown while catching four passes apiece in a combined effort to replace the team's star offensive player. It sounds like Metcalf had a…read more

Good to go

Lockett (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Arizona, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: DK Metcalf, meanwhile, is listed as questionable with hip and rib injuries. Lockett doesn't have much room for snap/route growth but would project for a larger share of Seattle's targets in the event of a Metcalf absence. The Cardinals rank bottom 10 in a slew of pass-defense stats and have injury issues in the secondary to boot.

Remains limited at practice

Lockett (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett has opened Week 7 preparations with back-to-back capped sessions due to a hamstring injury, which is more than DK Metcalf has managed with his rib and hip issues. Metcalf has been able to gut them out so far this season, but Friday's practice report could be telling for their respective odds to play Sunday versus the Cardinals. There doesn't seem to be any indication that Metcalf will be limited or sidelined this weekend, but Lockett would stand to benefit if either scenario comes to…read more

Tending to hamstring issue

Lockett was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice by a hamstring injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Aside from getting a concussion check Week 1, Lockett has avoided health concerns this season. As the Seahawks begin Week 7 prep, he joined DK Metcalf on the team's injury report, though the latter was a non-participant due to rib and hip issues. Considering the two represent Seattle's top pass-catching options, the status of the duo will need to be watched closely as Sunday's game versus the Cardinals draws closer.

Leads Seattle in receiving yards

Lockett recorded six receptions on eight targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Lockett topped four receptions for only the second time this season and turned in his most productive yardage performance of the campaign. His effort was driven primarily by a pair of long catches of 36 and 32 yards, bringing his total catches of more than 20 yards to three across four games. It's been an underwhelming start to the year for Lockett and the Seattle passing attack, but they'll have a chance to get on track in a Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals.

Team-high four receptions

Lockett had four receptions (on six targets) for 54 yards in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants.

Analysis: Lockett's four receptions wound up leading the Seahawks on a night where the team needed just 173 passing yards to secure a three-score victory. Fellow starter DK Metcalf hauled in Seattle's only passing touchdown Monday, resulting in another pedestrian fantasy performance for his veteran running mate. Lockett will carry a 17-167-2 receiving line into the upcoming bye week, but expect him to get more involved when the Seahawks face tougher opponents. That next opportunity will come against the…read more

Three grabs in Sunday's win

Lockett caught three of seven passes for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Analysis: The 30-year-old wideout took a back seat to DK Metcalf in this one and couldn't repeat last week's two-TD performance, but Lockett was who Geno Smith looked for as he scrambled around on a two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter. Lockett hasn't produced much yardage yet in 2023, but that could change in Week 4 against a Giants secondary that just got torched for a 6-129-1 line by the 49ers' Deebo Samuel.

Scores twice in OT win

Lockett secured eight of 10 targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks' 37-31 overtime win over the Lions on Sunday.

Analysis: Lockett made his fantasy managers' day in the final 15 minutes-plus of the contest, as he recorded a three-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter before adding a six-yard scoring catch in overtime where he extended himself to hit the pylon and put the game-winning points on the board for Seattle. Like the entirety of the Seahawks' air attack, Lockett was exponentially more productive than during the nightmarish Week 1 loss to the Rams, and after recording team-high reception and target…read more

Leaves game briefly

Lockett (head) finished with two catches (four targets) for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: Lockett was forced out of the contest for concussion evaluation before being cleared to return and finish out the game. It was a disappointing showing from Seattle's entire passing offense, and the veteran wideout had the added concern regarding his health. The fact that Lockett finished the game without issue bodes well for his prospects heading into next week's tilt against Detroit, but he will likely have to clear the league's protocol before receiving clearance.

Back on the field Sunday

Lockett (head) returned to Sunday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett had been forced out of the contest while being evaluated for a concussion, but he's been cleared and is back on the field. He is thus in line to retain a key role in the Seattle offense alongside fellow WRs DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Getting concussion check

Lockett is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lockett got hurt while blocking for Kenneth Walker on a running play, and he was looked at on the field and in the medical tent before news of a concussion check emerged. If Lockett enters the protocol for head injuries, he'll need to complete its five phases before gaining clearance for further game action.

Sees action Saturday

Lockett (undisclosed) brought in his only target for six yards in the Seahawks' 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys on Saturday night.

Analysis: The veteran wideout had worked through some tightness earlier in training camp, but he was healthy enough to make his preseason debut Saturday. Lockett's one catch came on Seattle's first drive as he worked with starting quarterback Geno Smith, and it remains to be seen if either of the duo will play in next Saturday afternoon's exhibition finale versus the Packers.

Increases workload Tuesday

Lockett (undisclosed) handled a mix of individual and team drills at Tuesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: One day removed from Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reporting that Lockett was dealing with some undisclosed minor tightness, Lockett increased his activity level from Monday's work on a side field. Tuesday's workload marked Lockett's most since last week. It remains unclear if the Seahawks will allow him to get some preseason action, with the team's exhibition slate kicking off Thursday against the Vikings.

Working through 'minor tightness'

Lockett (undisclosed) primarily logged work on the side during Monday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll relayed that Lockett is tending to "some minor tightness," per Henderson. The Seahawks open the preseason Thursday against the Vikings, so it's unlikely Lockett will be available for that contest. In fact, considering the rapport he displayed with quarterback Geno Smith in 2022, Lockett may not see much, if any, work during exhibition season. Whenever he's healthy, Lockett will be looking to put up a fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season during the upcoming campaign.

Contract restructured

Seattle and Lockett agreed Thursday to a contract restructure, converting $8.54 million of his base salary into a signing bonus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The Seahawks free up roughly $5.7 million in cap space with the transaction. Lockett is heading into his age-31 season with three more years on his deal, though Seattle has a potential 'out' after the 2023 campaign. The addition of rookie first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba somewhat clouds Lockett's long-term future with the Seahawks, but the upcoming season he appears still fully entrenched alongside DK Metcalf as one of Geno Smith's top two receiving options. Lockett is coming off four…read more

Six catches in loss to Niners

Lockett caught six of eight targets for 39 yards in Saturday's 41-23 wild-card loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: The veteran wideout was reduced to being a possession option for Geno Smith while DK Metcalf (10-136-2 on 13 targets) did the damage downfield. Lockett reached 1,000 receiving yards for the fourth straight campaign in 2022, finishing with 84 catches for 1,033 yards and nine touchdowns in 16 regular-season games, and after a fairly seamless transition from Russell Wilson, he should see success next season whether Smith gets re-signed or Seattle looks elsewhere for a starting quarterback.

Catches key touchdown

Lockett recorded four receptions on seven targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams.

Analysis: Lockett has battled a number of injuries in recent weeks, though he managed to tally a key 36-yard touchdown early in the third quarter to knot the score at 13-13. He also helped set up the Seahawks' game-winning field goal with a 17-yard catch in overtime. Lockett found the end zone in seven of Seattle's last nine games, and he reached at least eight total touchdowns for the fifth consecutive campaign. If Seattle reaches the postseason, he'll likely remain Geno Smith's favorite target.

Playing Sunday

Lockett (shin) is listed as active Sunday versus the Rams.

Analysis: After sitting out Week 16 due to a broken left index finger, Lockett returned to action last Sunday against the Jets but was in and out of the contest due to a shin injury. The Seahawks held him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday with the same health concern, but his return to drills Friday as a limited participant was followed by coach Pete Carroll telling Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle that Lockett looked good and was slated to play Week 18. With his status now confirmed, Lockett still…read more

Expected to play

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Lockett (shin) -- who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams -- looked good at Friday's practice and is expected to play, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lockett injured his shin in his first game back after missing a week with a broken finger, ultimately seeing only two targets and 31 percent of the offensive snaps in the Seahawks' 23-6 win over New York last Sunday. Earlier this week, Lockett said he'll play in the must-win game this Sunday, and Carroll is singing the same tune after a successful showing in practice Friday. Cautious fantasy managers may want to stay tuned nonetheless ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, considering Carroll…read more

Deemed questionable

Lockett (shin) returned to practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Lockett returned from finger surgery last week after missing just one game, only to suffer a shin injury that limited his playing time (31 percent snap share) in the win over New York. He said earlier this week that he'll play Sunday, and that seems to be the most likely outcome even if he isn't at his best. The Seahawks need a win at 4:25 p.m. ET and a Packers loss to the Lions in the Sunday night game to make the playoffs.

Stays sidelined at practice

Lockett (shin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: After having surgery to repair a broken left index finger on Dec. 19, Lockett returned from a one-game absence this past Sunday against the Jets, but he was in and out of the contest with an unknown lower-leg issue. It's been termed a shin injury on the Seahawks' Week 18 practice reports and so far hasn't allowed him to log any on-field work. Coach Pete Carroll told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune on Wednesday that Lockett expects to be available to play through his bruised shin Sunday…read more

Not practicing

Lockett won't practice Wednesday due to a shin injury but said he will play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Lockett returned from finger surgery to play in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets, but he picked up a shin bruise along the way and ultimately saw only two targets while playing less than 40 percent of Seattle's offensive snaps. He should have a bigger role Week 18 against the Rams even if he's not 100 percent, as the Seahawks need a win (plus a bit of help) to secure the final wild-card spot in the NFC. Lockett likely will try to practice Thursday or Friday to gauge his readiness for the…read more

Battles through injury in Week 18

Lockett caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets in Week 17.

Analysis: Lockett returned from a one-week absence due to a hand injury, but he picked up a leg injury during the game and ended up playing just 22 snaps (31 percent). While he did return to the game, it will be worth monitoring Lockett's status during the week ahead of the regular-season finale versus the Rams. The Seahawks are still in the playoff hunt, so if Lockett is active, we should expect him to handle his typical role.

Returns to game

Lockett, who had exited Sunday's game against the Jets with a leg injury, was subsequently able to return to the contest, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: After having gone to the locker room near the end of the first half, Lockett re-entered the game for the first play of the fourth quarter, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. Prior to his exit from the contest, the wideout had caught both of his targets for 15 yards.

Picks up leg injury

Lockett sustained a leg injury during Sunday's game against the Jets.

Analysis: Lockett went to the locker room near the end of the first half and wasn't on the sideline after the break before the Seahawks revealed the reason for his absence. He was back in action Sunday following a one-game absence due to surgery to repair a broken left index finger, but that issue didn't force him to exit Week 17. If Lockett is unable to return, he'll finish with two catches (on two targets) for 15 yards.

Back in action Week 17

Lockett (hand) is active for Sunday's game versus the Jets.

Analysis: Lockett underwent surgery to repair a broken left index finger on Dec. 19 and didn't suit up Week 16 at Kansas City. Having said that, he put himself in a position to return sooner than expected by capping Week 17 prep with a limited practice Thursday and a full session Friday. It's unclear if Lockett will be able to handle his normal workload, but he's been good for at least eight targets in eight of 14 appearances on the campaign, which, if it comes to pass again Sunday, may be enough to…read more

Expected to face Jets

Lockett (hand) is expected to play Sunday versus the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Lockett is expected to return from a broken left index finger injury, for which he required surgery, after missing just one game. He upgraded to a full practice participant Friday, and the wideout's status will be made official prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. With Marquise Goodwin (shoulder/wrist) having been placed on IR on Saturday, Lockett's presence would stand to provide a notable boost for Seattle's offense against the Jets' stingy defense.

Plans to play

Lockett (hand) plans to play in Sunday's game against the Jets, though he acknowledged Friday that the final decision will be made by coaches and trainers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Analysis: John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site and Brady Henderson of ESPN.com suggest Lockett is likely to play, with his upgrade to full practice participation Friday being another hint in that direction. Lockett returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant after undergoing surgery Dec. 19 on a broken left index finger, and he now appears more likely than not to suit up for the final two games of the regular season as Seattle tries to hold on to a wild-card spot. Fellow Seahawks wideout…read more

Questionable for Sunday

Lockett (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lockett practiced Thursday, on a limited basis, for the first time since undergoing surgery Dec. 19 to address a broken left index finger. He's more likely to drop the ball or fumble if he plays, but the Seahawks could use him even at less than 100 percent as they battle for a playoff spot. Their inactive list could be the subject of a lot of focus ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, as RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) and WR Marquise Goodwin (shoulder/wrist) also are listed as questionable.

Mixes into drills Thursday

Lockett (hand) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Thursday's activity marks Lockett's first since undergoing surgery on his fractured left index finger on Monday, Dec. 19. He thus has progressed since Wednesday, when he "did everything" and "looked good" during the Seahawks' morning walkthrough, coach Pete Carroll told Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, but the wide receiver ultimately went down as a DNP on the first injury report of Week 17. Lockett was dealing with swelling and had stitches in his left hand as of Wednesday, but with…read more

Officially DNP on Wednesday

Lockett (hand) was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Seattle head coach Pete Carroll told Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times earlier Wednesday that Lockett "did everything" in the team's walk-through and "looked great." Per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, Lockett also took part in warmups, but the fact that his left hand still is enduring swelling and has stitches didn't allow him to mix into any drills. There's an optimistic tone from the Seahawks that Lockett will be able to play Sunday against the Jets, which he may be able to do without…read more

'Looked great,' per Carroll

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that Lockett "did everything" at Wednesday's walk-through practice and "looked great" after undergoing surgery on a broken index finger Dec. 19, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lockett sustained the finger fracture Week 15 and didn't suit up this past Saturday at Kansas City, but he now appears to be in a good spot as the Seahawks prepare for Sunday's game against the Jets. Carroll didn't tip his hand regarding Lockett's chances to play Week 17, as Lockett's continued participation in practice the next two days is likely to guide that decision. Wednesday's injury report will reveal how much, if any, activity Lockett was able to handle at Seattle's first official…read more

Week 17 status TBD

The status of Lockett (hand) for Sunday's game against the Jets remains unclear at this stage, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, Lockett underwent a finger/hand procedure last Monday that went "perfect," according to coach Pete Carroll. While the wideout missed this past Saturday's loss to the Chiefs, it's possible that he may be back as soon as this weekend, with Carroll suggesting that Lockett could potentiality face the Jets without practicing this week.

Week 17 return still possible

Lockett underwent surgery on his broken index finger Monday, with Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll noting afterward that the receiver could have a chance of returning as soon as Week 17 against the Jets, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: While Lockett's finger injury is significant enough to prevent him from playing Saturday in Kansas City, Carroll relayed that the 30-year-old's surgery was "perfect," leaving the door open for him to miss just one game. The Seahawks will likely have a better sense of Lockett's progress when the team reconvenes for its first Week 17 practice next Wednesday. His absence for Week 16 likely leaves Marquise Goodwin and Laquon Treadwell in line to serve as the Seahawks' Nos. 2 and 3 wideouts behind…read more

Could return Week 17 after surgery

Lockett (finger) likely will have surgery and could be back as soon as Week 17, though a return timeline won't be available until after the procedure, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Lockett suffered a spiral crack in his first metacarpal during the final drive of Thursday's 21-13 loss to San Francisco. He hopes to miss only one game and return for the final two weeks of the regular season as Seattle fights for a wild-card spot, but it sounds like there's not actually a timeline yet, and all that's known for sure is he'll miss at least one game when the Seahawks face the Chiefs in Week 16.

Suffers broken finger

Lockett broke a bone in his index finger during Thursday's 21-13 loss to the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett played the majority of the game and tied for the team lead with seven receptions and paced the receiving corps with 68 yards. However, he exited the contest late and will be sidelined for some period of time. Coach Pete Carroll declined to give further detail, though he said Lockett hopes to return for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Jets, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

Extends touchdown streak

Lockett caught five of nine targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers.

Analysis: Lockett caught a four-yard touchdown during the second quarter, remarkably giving him a sixth straight game with a score. The veteran has posted at least 60 yards in five of those outings, offering a dependable playmaker for quarterback Geno Smith. Lockett's strong recent production will be put to the test in Week 15, however, as a Thursday night matchup versus the 49ers' dominant defense awaits. That said, Lockett managed nine catches for 107 yards versus San Francisco in Week 2, raising…read more

Huge numbers in win over Rams

Lockett caught nine of 12 targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams.

Analysis: He was Seattle's leading receiver on the afternoon, topping DK Metcalf by one catch and one yard, and the duo dominated the looks as Geno Smith posted a career-high 367 passing yards. Lockett also extended his TD streak to five games, tying the franchise record on a 36-yard catch in the first quarter. The veteran wideout will look to claim the record for himself by scoring in a sixth straight contest in Week 14 against the Panthers.

Scores in fourth straight game

Lockett caught three of seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: While it wasn't the most efficient performance for the veteran wideout, Lockett did haul in a 35-yard strike from Geno Smith in the second quarter to extend his TD streak to four games. He's posted a 16-240-4 line on 25 targets over that stretch, and he figures to be productive again in Week 13 against a struggling Rams squad.

Makes most of limited opportunity

Lockett recorded three receptions on five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

Analysis: Lockett was held without a catch in the first half but came through for a 21-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter. He also chipped in 11- and 10-yard catches, both of which ultimately led to scores for Seattle. While there were positives to point to, Lockett now has only five targets in three of his last five games. That makes him heavily reliant on big plays and touchdowns to be productive, which he has managed to do to this point. However, it will also lead to him…read more

Scores again in Week 9

Lockett caught all five of his targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.

Analysis: His nine-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter gave Seattle a lead the team wouldn't relinquish. Lockett has four TDs on the season, and they've all come in the last five games, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 clash with Tampa Bay in Germany.

Full practice Thursday

Lockett (hamstring/ribs) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: After a week in which he tended to hamstring and rib injuries, Lockett seemingly is in the clear following the second session of Week 9 prep. The same can be said for DK Metcalf (knee), setting the duo up to face a Cardinals defense Sunday that has conceded the fifth-most catches (105) but only five total touchdowns to wide receivers in eight games this season.

Limited by pair of injuries

Lockett (hamstring/ribs) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Like fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee), Lockett gutted through his own health concerns Week 8 against the Giants, and despite some uncharacteristic faux pas, he finished with five catches (on eight targets) for 63 yards and one touchdown. As the Seahawks kick off preparations for a Week 9 visit to Arizona, Lockett again is tending to hamstring and rib issues, but practice sessions on Thursday and Friday could paint a clearer picture of his upcoming availability.

Hauls in game-winning TD

Lockett caught five of eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.

Analysis: The veteran wideout was questionable to even play in this one due to multiple injuries, and while Lockett was able to tough them out, he didn't appear to be 100 percent and dropped a couple passes early. He more than made up for his miscues though, hauling in a 33-yard pass from Geno Smith midway through the fourth quarter that broke a 13-13 tie. Lockett wound up leading Seattle in receiving yards, but he'll likely have his practice workload capped to give him extra time to heal up ahead of a…read more

Playing Sunday

Lockett (hamstring/ribs) is active for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Analysis: For a second week in a row, Lockett will play through health concerns, one of which cropped up during Thursday's practice. Coach Pete Carroll called it "an oblique kind of something" Friday, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site, which made Lockett a game-time decision for Week 8. Lockett and DK Metcalf (knee) were treated the same way Sunday, and both wide receivers are available against New York's 15th-ranked pass defense (211 yards per game).

Not yet locked in to play Week 8

Lockett (hamstring/rib) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants and is considered to be a game-time decision, though the Seahawks have some optimism that he plays, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Rapoport's dispatch came just over two hours after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Lockett is expected to play, so while the receiver appears to be on the right side of the questionable tag, it's far from locked in at this point that he'll avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Lockett and DK Metcalf (knee) -- who is listed as questionable but is expected to play -- dress for the game, it's possible that either or both receivers are limited in some capacity…read more

Expected to play Sunday

Lockett, who is listed as questionable due to hamstring and rib injuries, is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lockett was banged up during Week 8 prep, but the specifics of his injury and his participation in practice were less than clear. Regardless, it appears like Seattle, barring a setback, will not only have Lockett available but is surprisingly expected to have DK Metcalf (knee) back as well. Despite the optimistic reports, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm both wideouts' availability ahead of Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

Headed for game-time call

Lockett (hamstring/ribs) is a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Giants, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett is listed on the official injury report with hamstring and rib injuries, while head coach Pete Carroll said the wideout had an "oblique kind of something" crop up during Thursday's practice. Furthermore, Carroll said Lockett was held out of practice Friday, whereas the injury report says he was a limited participant (after a limited showing Wednesday and a full session Thursday). Whatever the exact details, Carroll said he considers both Lockett and DK Metcalf (knee) to be game-time…read more

Gets questionable tag for Week 8

The Seahawks list Lockett as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants with hamstring and ribs injuries, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: The rib issue may be the greater concern for Lockett at this juncture, as the wideout was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to the hamstring injury before returning to full activity Thursday. With the Seahawks now attaching the rib injury to Lockett's name ahead of Friday's practice, fantasy managers will now need to keep a close eye on reports pertaining to the wideout ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Lockett gains clearance for the Week 8 matchup, he could have a…read more

Gets back to full participation

Lockett (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite missing practice all of last week and being questionable this past Sunday at the Chargers, Lockett was able to suit up, log 67 percent of the offensive snaps and reel in seven of eight targets for 45 yards. The snap share was a season low after earning between 78 and 96 percent for the first six games of the campaign. On Thursday, Lockett told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com that his hamstring "feels alright." When combined with the fact DK Metcalf's status for Sunday's contest against the…read more

Limited in return to practice

Lockett (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett didn't practice at all last week before playing this past Sunday at the Chargers, so his return to the practice field in some capacity this week bodes well for his upcoming availability. He logged fewer offensive snaps (67 percent) than normal last week en route to hauling in seven of eight targets for 45 yards, but the Seahawks now are faced with a potential absence from DK Metcalf, who didn't practice Wednesday due to a patellar tendon injury. The state of Seattle's receiving corps…read more

Seven catches Sunday

Lockett caught seven of eight targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 37-23 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: While Lockett led the Seahawks in receptions and targets, his production was disappointing, especially considering DK Metcalf left the game in the first quarter with a knee injury. Lockett has hauled in at least five passes in five of the last six games, and if Metcalf's injury proves to be serious, he could deliver much better numbers in Week 8 against the Giants.

Active as expected Week 7

Lockett (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Chargers.

Analysis: The news surrounding Lockett's outlook had been increasingly positive throughout the weekend, and the veteran's active status is now confirmed. Lockett should therefore slot into his usual No. 2 role against a stingy Chargers pass defense that's allowed just 201.7 passing yards per game over the last three contests.

Planning to play

Lockett (hamstring), officially questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Lockett didn't practice in any capacity during the week, though coach Pete Carroll kept an optimistic tone about his availability Sunday. While there won't be any official word about Lockett's status until close to Seattle's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, it seems he'll likely be able to handle his typical workload alongside DK Metcalf as one of Geno Smith's top targets.

Coach optimistic

Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Lockett (hamstring) has a "really good" chance to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers despite being held out of practice all week, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Carroll is notorious for being overly optimistic about injuries, perhaps in an effort at gamesmanship (or not), but there's reason to believe Lockett can play without practicing, as he's an eight-year vet who has missed only one game due to injury in his career. There's also the fact he played through the same injury last week, albeit with a 2-17-0 line on five targets, and Carroll acknowledged Friday that Lockett was "a little bit hampered" in that Week 6 win over Arizona. The Chargers and…read more

Listed as questionable

Lockett (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll likely will comment on Lockett after Friday's practice, but Carroll has an extensive track record of misleading comments about injuries, typically in the overly optimistic direction. The real question is whether Lockett practices Friday, and to what extent, after he was held out Wednesday and Thursday. He played through the hamstring injury last week and logged 82 percent of the offensive snaps in a win over the Cardinals, catching two of five targets for only 17 yards.

No practice again Thursday

Lockett (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett has opened Week 7 prep with back-to-back absences, giving him just one more opportunity to mix into drills ahead of the weekend. He may have to practice in full Friday to avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's contest at the Chargers. In any case, Lockett's status bears monitoring to get a sense of if he's in danger of missing a game.

Fails to practice Wednesday

Lockett was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett made a sudden appearance on Seattle's injury report last Thursday as a limited participant due to a hamstring issue, only to practice fully Friday and enter the weekend without a designation. He proceeded to log a typical 82 percent of the offensive snaps but didn't do much with them, gathering in two of five targets for 17 yards in a win over the Cardinals. The catch and yard counts were season lows, and Lockett now isn't practicing at all to begin Week 7 prep. Fortunately for the…read more

Quiet against Arizona

Lockett recorded two receptions on five targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.

Analysis: Lockett had his quietest game of the season and failed to top 75 yards for only the second time in six matchups. Geno Smith was slowed by the Arizona offense but also spread the ball to a wide range of receivers, as seven Seahawks pass catchers received multiple targets. Despite his down performance, Lockett has earned at least eight targets in three of six games on the campaign, and he should have a strong chance to bounce back in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Cleared to play Sunday

Lockett (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Lockett was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant but apparently isn't any danger of missing Sunday's game. He hasn't missed a beat with Geno Smith under center, entering Week 6 on pace for career highs in targets, catches and yards after four straight games with more than 15 PPR points.

Tending to hamstring injury

Lockett was limited at practice Thursday due to a hamstring issue, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: While the bottom of Seattle's wide receiver depth chart includes a number of injuries, the top avoided any mention of a health concern until the team added Lockett to its second Week 6 practice report. Fortunately, he managed to log some reps Thursday, with Friday's report potentially clearing up his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Shreds New Orleans' secondary

Lockett recorded five receptions on six targets for 104 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Saints.

Analysis: Lockett did the majority of his damage on a pair of long scores that went for 40 and 35 yards. Those were his first touchdowns of the season, but he's been in strong form overall since a quiet opening week. Across his last four games, Lockett has topped 100 yards on two occasions and has at least one reception of 20 yards or more in every matchup.

Makes six grabs in Week 4 win

Lockett brought in six of eight targets for 91 yards, returned one punt for seven yards and lost a fumble in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Analysis: Lockett finished with the second-highest reception, receiving yardage and target totals behind DK Metcalf on the afternoon. The veteran speedster also recorded a 34-yard grab that served as a season high, and he's enjoyed a very busy start to the season with 30 targets in the last three games alone. Lockett's next opportunity to build on his early chemistry with Geno Smith comes in a Week 5 road matchup against the Saints in a dome environment that should favor his speed.

Powers through in-game injury

Lockett (shoulder) racked up nine receptions (10 targets) for 76 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to Atlanta.

Analysis: Lockett suffered a shoulder stinger during the contest, but he was able to return and was not listed as an official injury by head coach Pete Carroll after the loss, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Still, it wouldn't be surprising to see the speedy wideout pop up on the injury report leading up to Sunday's tilt against the Lions. Lockett currently leads the Seahawks in receptions (21) and yards (211), making him a solid fantasy option with more value in PPR formats heading into…read more

Tops century mark in loss

Lockett caught nine of 11 targets for 107 yards in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: It was a surprisingly productive performance for the veteran wideout considering the Seattle offense failed to produce any points at all on the day, as the Seahawks' only score came on a blocked field goal that got returned to the end zone by Mike Jackson. Lockett showed flashes of chemistry with new starting QB Geno Smith last season as well, and this is the second time in Smith's five starts for Seattle he's topped 100 receiving yards. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 3 against a Falcons…read more

Quiet in Week 1 win

Lockett caught three of four targets for 28 yards in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Seattle never trailed in the game, so Geno Smith didn't have to look Lockett's way downfield as the Seahawks stayed on schedule with a mix of runs and short passes. Lockett's four targets tied for second on the team with Noah Fant behind DK Metcalf's seven. All of Seattle's top pass-catchers could see more volume in Week 2 against the 49ers if the Seahawks fall behind as expected.

Two grabs Friday

Lockett caught both his targets for 35 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: The veteran receiver caught both his passes during Seattle's first possession of the night with Geno Smith under center, and both checked out the of game afterward. With Smith now named the Week 1 starter by coach Pete Carroll, Lockett will be working with a QB that may not look to stretch the field as much as Russell Wilson did, but the speedster is more than capable of supplying big plays on his own. During the three games Smith started in 2021, Lockett caught 16 of 23 targets for 189 yards,…read more

Makes brief appearance Thursday

Lockett played the first series of Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears but wasn't targeted.

Analysis: Both Lockett and D.K. Metcalf suited up briefly after sitting out last week's preseason opener, but quarterback Geno Smith (knee) didn't target either of his top two wide receivers during their brief time in the game. Smith didn't lead the Seahawks to any points despite playing the entire first half, so Seattle's quarterback competition between him and Drew Lock -- who sat this one out due to COVID-19 -- is far from decided heading into the team's Aug. 26 preseason finale in Dallas.

QB downgrade in store

The Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to the Broncos on Tuesday, meaning Lockett will likely have a downgrade at quarterback in 2022, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lockett, who will turn 30 years old in September, signed a four-year, $69.2 million contract with the Seahawks in March of 2021, and he was probably expecting that Wilson would be his signal-caller for the remainder of that deal. Instead, the Seahawks established their commitment to the rebuild by trading the nine-time Pro Bowler. The Seahawks received quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, DE Shelby Harris along with an assortment of picks in return. While they may also draft a QB or sign…read more

Scores twice

Lockett caught five passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns on five targets against Arizona on Sunday.

Analysis: Lockett has had a lot of success against Arizona the last two years, so it might not be so surprising that he posted another strong box score against the Cardinals in this game, even with Russell Wilson attempting only 26 passes. Lockett's fantasy value beyond 2021 is pending the status of Wilson and Seattle coach Pete Carroll, but in the meantime it seems safe to say that Lockett is still almost automatic when working with Wilson. Lockett finishes the year with 73 receptions for 1,175 yards…read more

Finds end zone again

Lockett caught three passes on three targets for 24 yards and one touchdown against Detroit on Sunday.

Analysis: Lockett is of course capable of much more damage than this against a defense as vulnerable as Detroit's, but in this particular game DK Metcalf hogged most of the spotlight on the fantasy stage, drawing nine targets while catching six for 63 yards and three touchdowns. Although the Arizona defense is a tough matchup for the Seahawks in Week 18, Lockett has really had the Cardinals' number going back to last year, scoring four times in the last three matchups and going over 100 yards in two of…read more

Quiet in Sunday's loss

Lockett caught three of six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

Analysis: On a snowy day in Seattle, the Seahawks' passing game was mostly quiet, leading to one of Lockett's worst performances of the season. The veteran wideout is on the cusp of a couple milestones, however, as he needs only five more receiving yards and one touchdown to set new career single-season highs in both categories, giving him something to play for in Week 17 against the Lions even with the Seahawks eliminated from postseason contention.

Off of COVID-19 list

The Seahawks activated Lockett from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Analysis: Lockett spent exactly a week on the COVID-19 list, missing Tuesday's loss to the Rams in the process. Now that he's back with the Seahawks, he'll turn his focus to Sunday's game against the Bears, who have given up the second-most touchdowns (19) to wide receivers this season.

Nearing activation

Head coach Pete Carroll relayed Wednesday that Lockett (illness) is closing in on being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett found himself on the COVID-19 list last Thursday following a positive test for the virus, and while the Seahawks' Week 15 matchup was pushed back two days to Tuesday due to COVID-19-related issues afflicting the Rams, the delay didn't provide enough time for the wide receiver to clear league protocols. Carroll's comments could imply that Lockett may have returned his first negative test. If so, Lockett will need to do the same 24 hours from that initial test in order to return to the…read more

Officially out Week 15

Lockett (illness) wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: As a vaccinated player, Lockett is eligible to rejoin the Seahawks as soon as he's asymptomatic of the virus, but he's apparently still in recovery mode after testing positive for the virus Thursday. The Seahawks elevated wideout Cody Thompson as a replacement for Lockett in Week 15, but Freddie Swaim, Dee Eskridge and Penny Hart are likelier candidates to pick up the available reps at receiver alongside regular starter DK Metcalf.

Not on track to play

Seattle doesn't plan to activate Lockett (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, putting him on track to miss the team's Week 15 game against the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Though the NFL delayed the matchup between the Rams and Seahawks an extra two days, Lockett wasn't able to make enough progress in his recovery from COVID-19 to suit up after he tested positive for the virus Thursday. Assuming his symptoms begin to subside in the next few days, Lockett should be ready to play Week 16 against the Bears, but his absence Tuesday locks in DK Metcalf as Seattle's clear-cut No. 1 wideout. Beyond Metcalf, the Seahawks will likely have Freddie Swain, Dee Eskridge and…read more

Seahawks-Rams moved to Tuesday

Lockett (illness) and the Seahawks will no longer play the Rams on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. The two-day delay could also provide sufficient time for Lockett to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive for the virus Thursday, with his potential availability hinging on whether or not he's experiencing any symptoms. If…read more

Tests positive, could play Sunday

Lockett's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday was the result of a positive test, but he could still clear the necessary protocols in time to play Sunday against the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Along with Lockett, the Seahawks placed running back Alex Collins on the list Thursday after he too tested positive, but since both players are vaccinated, they'll have a shot at being available this weekend. Per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com, the NFL and NFLPA reached agreement Thursday on changes to the return-to-play COVID-19 protocol, which will allow players who are vaccinated and asymptomatic to rejoin their teams as soon as 24 hours after an initial positive test. The Seahawks haven't yet…read more

Hits reserve/COVID-19 list

The Seahawks placed Lockett (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett and Alex Collins (abdomen) are the second and third Seahawks to be placed on the list this season after Gerald Everett sat out Weeks 4 and 5 due a positive test of the virus. If Lockett is unable to suit up Sunday at the Rams, Seattle may be a bit compromised at wide receiver, as all of DK Metcalf (foot/back), Freddie Swain (ankle) and Dee Eskridge (foot) are tending to injuries at the moment.

Notches fifth 100-yard game of 2021

Lockett caught five of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also caught a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter.

Analysis: Lockett made multiple sideline grabs in Sunday's contest and caught four passes for longer than 20 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown from Russell Wilson in the second quarter. That deep shot has been a signature play for the two stars, but until Sunday, we hadn't seen it following Wilson's return from injured reserve. With Lockett's fifth 100-yard performance of 2021, the 29-year-old wideout has now recorded 1,023 yards through 13 games, marking his third straight season with at last 1,000…read more

Hauls in TD in win

Lockett caught seven of eight targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.

Analysis: The speedster was once again Russell Wilson's favorite option, leading the Seahawks in catches and receiving yards and capping his day with the game-winning score, a 12-yard fade to the back corner of the end zone from Wilson late in the fourth quarter. Lockett's TD was his first since Week 2, but his touchdowns have tended to come in bunches throughout his career, making him a high-upside play in Week 14 against the Texans.

Big plays Monday

Lockett caught three of five targets for 96 yards in Monday night's 17-15 loss to Washington.

Analysis: Lockett was explosive in the first half, hauling in a 55-yard pass prior to a 39-yard gain in the second quarter. Those big plays helped him comfortably lead the Seahawks in receiving, with teammate DK Metcalf managing merely one catch for 13 yards. Although Seattle's offense has struggled lately, Lockett has still been productive, now topping 95 yards in three of his last four contests.

Thrives amid dysfunction

Lockett caught four passes for 115 yards on five targets against Arizona on Sunday.

Analysis: The Seattle passing game was a complete dud aside from Lockett, who had somewhat disappointing target volume himself. As he so often does, Lockett did a lot of damage with his targets, and it's by any standard a strong showing to produce 115 receiving yards in an offense that threw for just 207 total, but Seattle's passing game simply went too cold for too long when Lockett wasn't landing his shots. Russell Wilson (finger) clearly is not himself yet, so he'll look to make progress in time to…read more

Quiet in Week 10

Lockett caught two receptions for 23 yards on eight targets against Green Bay on Sunday.

Analysis: It was a frustrating day for Lockett and the Seattle receivers, none of whom could get anything going despite beating the Green Bay secondary plenty of times. The fact is that Lockett and DK Metcalf will both struggle to produce if Russell Wilson (finger) can't play better than he did against Green Bay, and the upcoming Arizona defense is probably less charitable than that of the Packers.

Pops off for 142 yards

Lockett caught 12 of 13 targets for 142 yards in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.

Analysis: Lockett caught 17 passes for 159 yards over the previous five games, and he finally broke out of his slump with conviction in the team's first win with Geno Smith under center. The Seahawks are on bye next week and will return in Week 10 against the Packers. Lockett has been so boom-or-bust this season that it's tough to predict his big games, but it would certainly help his odds if Russell Wilson (finger) is back under center. Wilson is optimistic he'll return in Week 10, but he'll need to hit…read more

Another poor outing with backup QB

Lockett caught two of three targets for just 12 yards in Monday's 13-10 loss to New Orleans.

Analysis: Lockett turned in his second dismal performance with Geno Smith under center. The backup quarterback can't be blamed for all of his wideout's shortcomings, as Lockett had been struggling when Russell Wilson (finger) was healthy outside of Weeks 1 and 2. The 28-year-old possesses the explosive talent to ignite a huge fantasy game on any given week, but perhaps it's best to explore other options, at least until Wilson returns from IR.

Struggles in losing effort

Lockett had just two receptions (seven targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.

Analysis: It was a disappointing passing output from the Seahawks overall in Geno Smith's first start with the club, but Lockett was particularly disappointing given the poor catch rate (29 percent) and low production. The speedy wideout has a chance to bounce back next week against the Saints, especially if DK Metcalf draws most of the attention from shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore. That being said, it could simply be a rough go of things for the entire Seattle passing attack for at least two more…read more

Five catches in loss

Lockett secured five of 10 targets for 57 yards in the Seahawks' 26-17 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

Analysis: Lockett logged a team-high number of targets but wasn't exactly efficient with them. The speedster was also the intended receiver on what essentially turned out to be a game-sealing interception thrown by Geno Smith, with Lockett getting slowed just a tad by contact as he crossed the field on his route. The 29-year-old has now posted a combined 13-112-0 line over his last three games after hitting the 100-yard mark and scoring three TDs in his first pair of contests, and he'll look to get back…read more

Four catches in quiet effort

Lockett (hip) caught four of five targets for 24 yards against San Francisco on Sunday.

Analysis: Lockett toughed out the hip injury to make some catches underneath for the Seahawks, but the Seattle passing game was generally ineffective Sunday, and Lockett's modest numbers partially reflect that. Lockett gets a potentially tough short-week matchup with the Rams defense Thursday, so the going won't get any easier. The Seahawks passing game will attempt to answer the call in a crucial divisional game.

Will play Sunday

Lockett (hip) is active for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Analysis: Lockett came out of Week 3 at Minnesota with a hip injury, the result of a tackle at the end of a catch in which his leg was twisted. His participation in ensuing practices was all over the place -- limited Wednesday, none Thursday and every drill Friday -- as he entered the weekend with a cloud hanging over his availability. That final session appears to have set Lockett up to suit up versus a 49ers pass defense that has allowed a modest 8.0 YPT and three touchdowns to wide receivers this…read more

Optimism for Sunday

Lockett (hip) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lockett's participation in practice fluctuated throughout the week, though his full participation Friday seemingly puts him in a good position for Sunday's contest. Schefter's report echoes head coach Pete Carroll's optimism regarding Lockett's status, but the final word will come approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. kickoff, when Seattle releases its inactive list. The 49ers are likely to be without several key players in their secondary, so Lockett could be in a good position to…read more

Should play Sunday

Lockett (hip) appears likely to play Sunday against the 49ers, as coach Pete Carroll sounded optimistic after the wide receiver was a full practice participant Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Carroll isn't exactly reliable when it comes to injury intel, but it does seem a full practice Friday gives Lockett a strong chance to play, even after he was a non-participant Thursday. Fantasy managers nonetheless would be wise to keep at least one eye on the situation ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, as it wouldn't be the first time Seattle's inactive list contained a surprise that contradicted Carroll's previous statements.

Questionable for Week 4

Lockett (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: It's no surprise Lockett's status is in limbo after his leg was twisted at the end of a catch this past Sunday at Minnesota. The issue limited his practice reps Wednesday before he didn't take the field at all Thursday, but the Seahawks still are keeping the door open for the seven-year pro to suit up this weekend. Ultimately, the team will make a decision on Lockett's availability about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

No practice Thursday

Lockett (hip) was held out of practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett tested the waters Wednesday following a scary sequence this past Sunday in which his leg was twisted and he remained on the turf for a spell. He remained in that game, but after Wednesday's limited session he logged no activity just one day later. The Seahawks may just be exercising extreme caution with one of their top playmakers, especially with fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf joining Lockett on Thursday's injury report as limited with a foot injury. The status of both players is…read more

Dealing with hip issue

Lockett was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lockett had his leg twisted when he was tackled at the end of a six-yard catch in the fourth quarter of the Seahawks' Week 3 loss at Minnesota. At first glance, it appeared to be a potentially bad knee injury, but Lockett was able to return and recorded one more reception the rest of the way. Lockett likely is fine moving forward, but his practice reps may be capped in the short term to ensure he stays healthy.

Quiet in loss to Vikings

Lockett caught all four of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: After two huge games to begin the season, Lockett turned in a far more pedestrian line Sunday as it was DK Metcalf's turn to shine instead. At least one of Russell Wilson's two elite receivers is likely to pop in any given week, but the fact that Lockett has seen five targets or less in two of three games so far makes him the more volatile of the duo heading into a Week 4 clash with the 49ers.

Busts out for 178 yards, one TD

Lockett reeled in eight of 11 targets for 178 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 overtime defeat to the Titans.

Analysis: Lockett's connection with Russell Wilson has been on point through the first two games of the season, with the wide receiver posting back-to-back 100-yard efforts for the second time in his seven-year career. So far, Lockett and DK Metcalf are tied for the team lead with 16 targets on the campaign, but Lockett has been far more efficient, averaging a ridiculous 23.2 YPC and 17.4 YPT (versus 11.3 and 7.1, respectively, for Metcalf) while getting in the end zone in both contests. Lockett will…read more

Huge fantasy day to begin 2020

Lockett caught four of five targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.

Analysis: Lockett immediately began paying dividends on the four-year, $69.2 million contract he signed with the Seahawks this past offseason. The speedy wideout burned the opposing secondary on two separate occasions and Russell Wilson -- as he is known to do -- floated perfect passes right into his bread basket. The air attacking trio of Wilson (four TDs), Lockett and DK Metcalf (60 yards and a TD) looks to be a potent one heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Titans.

Avoids injury report

Lockett (groin) isn't listed on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll kept the key pieces of his offensive arsenal -- Russell Wilson, Chris Carson, DK Metcalf and Lockett -- on the sideline this preseason, but only Lockett was dealing with an injury. Now that the regular season officially is in session, however, Lockett is unhindered on the practice field. He'll look to put up a third consecutive 1,000-yard season and fifth straight year playing an entire regular-season slate.

Sits out Saturday

Lockett (groin) didn't play in Saturday's final preseason game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Lockett likely wouldn't have played even if he was 100 percent, as Russell Wilson, DK Metcalf and Chris Carson all watched the entire preseason from the sidelines. There's no indication that Lockett is in danger of missing the season opener against the Colts on Sept. 12, as he's been participating in team drills for over a week now. With back-to-back, 1,000-yard campaigns under his belt, Lockett is set up well for another big campaign along with Metcalf. The duo is one of the most lethal…read more

Could play next week

Head coach Pete Carroll said Lockett (groin) could play in the final preseason game Saturday versus the Chargers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lockett has been tending to a groin injury for nearly a week now, and he was able to go through warmups ahead of this past Saturday's preseason loss to the Broncos before ultimately watching from the sidelines. The 28-year-old wideout is making steady progress in his return to action. The Seahawks nonetheless will take a cautious approach in the final preseason game if Lockett's feeling any ill effects. The Kansas State product has missed just one game over his six-year career.

Back in team drills

Lockett (groin) mixed into team drills during Thursday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: The development doesn't mean Lockett is entirely past the groin injury that forced him out of recent on-field work, but he could be setting himself up to make an appearance in the preseason, perhaps as early as Saturday versus the Broncos. None the Seahawks' first-team skill-position players got on the field in their first exhibition, making this weekend the best shot for Lockett and company to suit up.

Tending to groin issue

Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Lockett has missed recent practices due to a groin injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Any minor health concern to a player of Lockett's stature oftentimes results in teams taking a cautious approach, and the Seahawks are doing exactly that with the seventh-year pro. Due to the investment Seattle made in him this offseason -- he inked a four-year, $69.2 million extension with the team back in March -- he'll likely remain on the sideline until the issue is a thing of the past. As such, Lockett may be in danger of sitting out Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos.

Earns four-year extension

Lockett and the Seahawks agreed Wednesday on a four-year, $69.2 million extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lockett's new deal includes $37 million guaranteed, giving the reliable sixth-year wideout a well-deserved pay raise. With 3,076 receiving yards and 28 receiving touchdowns over the last three seasons, Lockett has clearly established himself as one of the league's premier deep-ball threats. His yards per reception fell off a bit in 2020, down to 10.5 from 12.9 in 2019, but he made up for the slight decline in efficiency with a career-high 100 catches. Even if Lockett ends up taking more of a…read more

Catches two passes in loss

Lockett caught two of four targets for 43 yards in Saturday's 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams.

Analysis: It was a quiet game overall for Seattle's passing game, as Russell Wilson completed just 41 percent of his passes for 174 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Lockett caught a pair of long passes, with his two receptions going for 24 and 19 yards. The sixth-year wideout nevertheless put together a remarkable 2020 season, posting a 100-1,054-10 line through 16 regular-season games. Lockett's efficiency has taken a steep dropoff since his 16.9 yards per reception mark in 2018, but he made…read more

Goes off for two scores

Lockett hauled in 12 receptions (14 targets) for 90 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.

Analysis: Lockett capped off the regular season with a bang, abusing a battered 49ers secondary that focused its remaining resources on containing DK Metcalf (three catches for 21 yards). The 28-year-old had taken a backseat to the budding superstar across from him in formations down the stretch, averaging just 46.9 yards per game with one total touchdown over his previous nine contests. Despite his monster performance in the season finale, we may see more of the second-half version of Lockett as opposed…read more

Makes three catches vs. Rams

Lockett caught three of five targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.

Analysis: Lockett's long gain of 24 yards matched his best from the last six games, but he struggled to make a notable impact other than that. He has now topped 60 receiving yards just once over his last five games and hasn't reached the end zone during that stretch. Lockett seems to be quite far removed from his monstrous 200-yard performance from Week 7 but will look to finish the regular season on a high note next Sunday against the 49ers.

Struggling to break out

Lockett caught four of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.

Analysis: The Seahawks' strategy was clear early in the game -- they wanted to avoid Washington's pass rush. In turn, Lockett was targeted on short passes six times in the first 20 minutes of the game, and he caught four of those throws for 34 yards. The sixth-year wideout was only targeted one more time all game, failing to haul in that look. Since ringing up seven touchdowns over the first six games, Lockett has produced just one score over eight contests, and he hasn't surpassed the 67-yard threshold…read more

Five catches against Jets

Lockett caught all five of his targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.

Analysis: Given the final score, Lockett's line was a bit disappointing as he wasn't one of the four different Seahawks that Russell Wilson found for TDs on the afternoon. Lockett has still seen at least five targets and caught at least three passes in nine straight games, and he's closing in on his second straight 1,000-yard campaign heading into Week 15's road clash with a stingy Washington secondary.

Commands nine targets

Lockett recorded six receptions on nine targets for 63 yards in Week 13 against the Giants.

Analysis: Lockett got off a quick start by logging 30 yards on two receptions during the Seahawks' opening drive. He was forced from the game on the following possession and evaluated for a concussion, though he was ultimately cleared to return and missed minimal game action. However, he made little impact in the contest until midway through the fourth quarter, when he hauled in a 21-yard reception over the middle of the field, ultimately setting up a touchdown. Lockett and the rest of the Seahawks…read more

Returns to Sunday's game

Lockett cleared concussion protocol and returned to Sunday's game against the Giants, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lockett missed a couple plays on offense after taking a knee to his head in the first quarter. After clearing the league's concussion protocol, he'll return to the field and operate in the 1A-1B tandem with DK Metcalf.

Being checked for concussion

Lockett is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Giants, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lockett took a knee to his head as he fought for extra yards on a short catch in the first quarter. If he's unable to return, David Moore and Freddie Swain figure to pick up extra reps behind DK Metcalf.

Quiet against Eagles

Lockett caught three of four targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 23-17 win over the Eagles.

Analysis: Lockett was largely held in check besides an 18-yard reception in the second quarter. In fact, with teammate DK Metcalf going for 10 catches on 13 targets for 177 yards, Lockett was left with a tie for his season low in targets. The speedster's yardage total was indeed his worst thus far, so he'll aim to bounce back in his usual fine fashion in Week 13 versus the Giants.

Thrives despite limitations

Lockett (knee) secured all nine of his targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 28-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night.

Analysis: Lockett toughed out a knee sprain that had reportedly caused him some early week swelling to pace all pass catchers on either squad in receptions and receiving yardage on the night. The 28-year-old was also the Seahawks' leader in targets and recorded his eighth touchdown reception of the season on a nifty second-quarter grab in the right corner of the end zone. Lockett's score was his first since Week 7, when he crossed the goal line on three occasions against this same Cardinals squad. He'll…read more

Suiting up Thursday

Lockett (knee) is listed as active Thursday against the Cardinals.

Analysis: Lockett managed just one limited practice during a short week of prep, but there wasn't any doubt about his ability to suit up. As a result, he'll look to repeat his performance from Week 7, when he skewered Arizona's defense for 15 catches, 200 yards and three touchdowns on 20 targets.

On pace to play Thursday

Coach Pete Carroll said Lockett (knee), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lockett was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated report and didn't practice Tuesday, but the sixth-year wide receiver appears to be on pace to suit up Week 11. One way or another, confirmation on his availability will arrive about 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Officially questionable for TNF

Lockett (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lockett is still working back from the sprained knee he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Rams. The quick turnaround for a Week 11 game likely hasn't helped Lockett, who was listed as a non-participant on the Seahawks' first two practice reports of the week. Head coach Pete Carroll has already called Lockett a game-time decision for Thursday, so the final word on his status likely won't come until 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 PM ET kickoff, at which time the Seahawks' inactives will be made…read more

Misses another practice

Lockett (knee) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll declared Monday that Lockett picked up "a bit of a knee sprain" during Sunday's loss to the Rams, adding that there is swelling as well. Carroll predicted that Lockett would be a game-time decision for Thursday's clash against the Cardinals, but there's a growing concern about the receiver's status following a consecutive DNP. Getting on the field in some capacity Wednesday will be vital for his chances to play this week. David Moore and Freddie Swain are expected to be the…read more

Dealing with knee sprain

Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Lockett has a "bit of a knee sprain" and is considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Cardinals, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Carroll added that there was discomfort and swelling in Lockett's knee, too. While the coach relayed that it's not a serious injury, the Seahawks are on a short week and may decide that it's best to rest Lockett to avoid further aggravation. We'll have a better idea of his status when the team releases practice reports Tuesday and Wednesday. If Lockett ends up sitting out, David Moore and Freddie Swain both figure to see more reps against the Cardinals.

Managing knee injury

Lockett (knee) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lockett appears to have picked up a knee injury during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams, in which he caught five of nine targets for 66 yards. It's possible that the Seahawks are simply allowing Lockett rest on a short week, but until he resumes practicing in full the 28-year-old's status for Thursday night will remain murky. The last time Lockett faced off against Arizona's secondary -- a Week 7 primetime matchup -- he posted 15 catches, 200 yards and three scores.

Targeted nine times Sunday

Lockett caught five of nine targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: The Rams' secondary locked down the middle of the field, taking away the real estate where Lockett does his best work. Still, the sixth-year wideout was the only pass catcher to be targeted more than four times by Russell Wilson on Sunday, and he ended up with a modest output as a result. Lockett's touchdowns continue to come in bunches; he has gone scoreless in five of the last six games while squeezing in a three-touchdown performance in Week 7 against the Cardinals. A rematch against the…read more

Another underwhelming effort

Lockett caught four of seven targets for 40 yards in the 44-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Analysis: Lockett typically flourishes when Russell Wilson is under heavy pressure, finding holes in the defense that Wilson can pick apart. Wilson was under siege Sunday, but instead, Lockett watched DK Metcalf secure seven receptions for 108 yards and a touchdown. Lockett now has produced fewer than 45 yards and no touchdowns in four of the last five games, although he snuck in a 15-200-3 effort in Week 7 against the Cardinals. He's starting to become a boom-or-bust player, and next week's matchup…read more

Held quiet in Week 8

Lockett recorded four receptions on five targets for 33 yards in Week 8 against the 49ers.

Analysis: Coming off a massive Week 7 performance, Lockett was held in check by San Francisco's defense. Instead, DK Metcalf was peppered with 15 targets and posted 161 receiving yards with two scores. Though Lockett has seven touchdowns, he's accumulated six of them in two games. Similarly, he has accounted for 300 of his 575 receiving yards in two games this season. That leaves him with huge upside in every game, but also with a limited floor. Lockett will try to get back on track in Week 9 against…read more

Piles up 200 yards, three scores

Lockett caught 15 of 19 targets for 200 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: After a pair of underwhelming games leading up to the Week 6 bye, Lockett came out of the gate firing, making a spectacular 35-yard, one-handed grab on the first play of the evening and catching his fifth touchdown of the year just five plays later. The speedy wideout caught a handful of dink-and-dunk passes the rest of the half before reeling in another score on a 47-yard moonball from Russell Wilson with 43 seconds left in the second quarter. Lockett remained Wilson's favorite target for the…read more

Quiet night in primetime

Lockett had four receptions (five targets) for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Vikings.

Analysis: Lockett was only able to do work on underneath routes against the Vikings since they kept two deep safeties for nearly the entire contest. The one deep shot Russell Wilson took toward Lockett wasn't synced up and resulted in the lone incompletion between the two. DK Metcalf's emergence as a star wideout has hurt Lockett over the past couple of weeks, but the speedy veteran remains involved and should have better weeks like we saw earlier in the season. Fantasy managers who roster Lockett will…read more

Invisible until fourth quarter

Lockett caught two of four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.

Analysis: Lockett was bound to fall back to earth after his three-touchdown performance against the Cowboys in Week 3, but he crashed harder than fantasy managers would've liked. He failed to haul in either of his two targets through the first three quarters, including a costly drop in Dolphins territory. Russell Wilson connected with him twice in the fourth quarter to somewhat salvage Lockett's fantasy day. The 28-year-old wideout will look to quickly shake off this dud with an appealing Week 5 matchup…read more

Hauls in three TDs in win

Lockett caught nine of 13 targets for 100 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.

Analysis: The speedster found the end zone once in the first quarter on a 43-yard bomb and then twice in the second quarter on one-yard strikes, helping Russell Wilson make history as the first QB to throw for at least four TDs in each of his team's first three games. Lockett could be poised for another big performance next week against a Dolphins defense that couldn't contain John Brown or Stefon Diggs in its Week 2 meeting with the Bills.

Scores against Patriots

Lockett caught seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-30 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Lockett was once against Russell Wilson's favorite target in Week 2, working underneath as DK Metcalf and David Moore took the top off the Patriots' defense. He's up to his usual efficiency, too, as Lockett has now reeled in 15 of 16 targets for 159 yards and a score this year. Metcalf has been targeted on the deeper passes -- an area in which Lockett also excels -- but the tandem is a clear 1A-1B where both should be considered viable fantasy starters on a weekly basis. The Seahawks have a…read more

Rings up 92 yards in opener

Lockett caught all eight of his targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons.

Analysis: Lockett's connection with Russell Wilson seemed to get stronger this offseason as Wilson connected with the speedy receiver on every pass thrown his way. While it was DK Metcalf who found the end zone in this contest, both studs saw eight targets and were instrumental in helping Wilson reach historic efficiency -- his 88.6 completion percentage was the third-highest mark in NFL history among anyone throwing at least 35 passes in a game. The big plays may start leaning toward the big-bodied…read more

Thought about opting out

Lockett considered opting out of the 2020 season but decided to play, Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest reports.

Analysis: Lockett was diagnosed with a heart abnormality in 2015 while he was going through the draft process, and his cousin reportedly had a serious case of coronavirus. Those two aspects factored into his decision-making process, but ultimately, Lockett relayed that he believes the team has a good safety plan under head coach Pete Carroll's leadership. The 27-year-old Lockett is coming off his best season yet, as he hauled in 82 of 110 targets for 1,057 yards and eight touchdowns, and his targets…read more

Outstanding in loss to Packers

Lockett caught nine of 10 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 divisional-round loss to the Packers.

Analysis: Lockett delivered a tremendous performance in the loss, highlighted by a seven-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The speedy wide receiver produced his first 1,000-yard regular season in 2019, finishing with career highs in catches (82) and yards (1,057) while adding eight touchdowns. Lockett and standout rookie DK Metcalf should return in 2020 to form one of the league's most fearsome wideout duos for quarterback Russell Wilson.

Generates 62 yards in win

Lockett caught four of eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card win over the Eagles.

Analysis: DK Metcalf stole the show with seven receptions for 160 yards and a score, but Lockett produced modest production despite not finding the end zone. Three of Lockett's four catches went for first downs, and it was his third time in four games where he mustered 50-plus yards. Lockett and the Seahawks will head to Green Bay for the divisional round and face a Packers defense that allowed 232.6 passing yards per game during the regular season.

Bounces back against 49ers

Lockett caught six of seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: The second half of Lockett's season has been bumpy, but this game can be considered a success. Lockett surpassed 50 receiving yards for just the second time since Week 9. The 27-year-old's regular season ends with 82 catches for a career-high 1,057 yards and eight touchdowns. Lockett will look to build on this effort in the wild-card round, as the Seahawks travel to Philadelphia next Sunday.

Shut down by Cardinals

Lockett caught one of eight targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: Lockett looked like he was back on track after putting up eight receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown in Week 15's win over the Panthers, but he produced a bust performance against the league's worst-ranked pass defense Sunday. The fifth-year wideout did admit after last week's strong effort that he was still ailing from the flu bug, but nonetheless it's disappointing that for the fifth time in six games Lockett finished with less than 45 receiving yards. Lockett will look to get back on…read more

Puts up boom performance

Lockett caught eight of nine targets for 120 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

Analysis: Lockett was disappointing over the previous three games, totaling just five receptions for 81 yards. The fifth-year wideout admitted after the game that he's still feeling sick and is down 10 pounds, according to Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest, but Lockett looked as explosive as ever with his fourth 100-yard performance of the year while finding the end zone for the first time since Week 9. Lockett's boom-or-bust tag will continue to follow him, but fantasy owners should feel confident…read more

Getting back to normal

Coach Pete Carroll said Lockett is "really back" in form this week, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports. "He was pretty good last week and he's going into this week rarin' to go," Carroll said.

Analysis: Lockett is entering a second straight week without being listed on the Seahawks' injury report, as John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site notes. The wide receiver's Week 14 performance also backs up Carroll's comments. Lockett put up four catches (on six catches) for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams. By putting the shin contusion he suffered Week 10 at San Francisco further in the rear-view mirror, Lockett is poised to pounce on a Panthers defense that has given up the third-most…read more

Another mediocre outing

Lockett caught four of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: After getting blanked by the Vikings last week, Lockett had his name called early and hauled in Russell Wilson's first pass of the game for two yards. However, it was still an unimpressive outing, as Lockett finished below 45 receiving yards for the fourth straight game. Lockett wasn't listed on the team's injury report during the practice week, so this looks like it was simply a valley in the wideout's volatile fantasy season. He's bound to break out again at some point, but it'll be tough in…read more

Blanked by Vikings

Lockett didn't haul in any of his three targets during Monday's 37-30 win over the Vikings.

Analysis: Lockett was held catchless for the first time since Week 11 of the 2017 season. Instead, DK Metcalf and Jacob Hollister both corralled six passes each for 75 and 44 yards, respectively. This is Lockett's second straight dud following last week's 38-yard effort. It's fair to worry whether he is hampered by the shin injury he sustained Week 10 against the 49ers, as he only practiced once in the week leading up to this contest. However, we can just as easily chalk it up to how Lockett is typically…read more

Does not carry injury status

Lockett (shin/illness) does not have an injury status for Monday's game against the Vikings, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite practicing on a limited basis just once Thursday and Friday, Lockett is set to play Monday against the Vikings in what figures to be a solid matchup for fantasy purposes. The 27-year-old saw season lows in receptions (one) and targets (two) Week 12 against the Eagles despite another favorable matchup, so fantasy owners may want to be a little cautious in relying on the big-play wideout if possible.

Doesn't practice Friday

Lockett (shin/illness) was listed as a non-participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett was a limited participant Thursday on the Seahawks' first practice report Week 13, so his downgrade in activity a day later isn't the most reassuring sign. Seattle will see what Lockett is able to do in its final session of the week Saturday before gauging his availability for the Monday night showdown with the Vikings.

Gets 'limited' tag Thursday

Lockett (shin) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The Seahawks merely released an estimate of player participation, so how Lockett is listed Friday and Saturday will give a better sense of his health. Considering he seemed to come out of the team's Week 12 win at Philadelphia unscathed from the shin injury suffered Week 10, he'll look to ditch his designation prior to Monday's clash with the Vikings.

Accounts for just one reception

Lockett hauled in a 38-yard pass on two targets in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.

Analysis: Lockett received clearance after suffering a shin injury during the Week 10 win over the 49ers, and he was unproductive against a normally weak Philly secondary. Despite making just one catch, Lockett led the Seahawks in receiving yards as Russell Wilson spread out his 13 completions to seven different targets. This was just the third time this season Lockett finished with less than 51 receiving yards, and he'll look to get back on track in Week 13's clash against the Vikings.

Cleared to play

Lockett (shin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett benefitted from a well-timed bye after he picked up a shin injury during a Week 10 win over the 49ers. He should be fine to handle his usual role come Sunday, facing an Eagles defense that's had some issues covering wide receivers but has been much better in recent weeks.

Still limited Thursday

Lockett (shin) was limited at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett is putting himself into a position to suit up Sunday at Philadelphia with activity in both Week 12 sessions to date. Considering he's only a little more than a week removed from a two-day stay in the hospital to reduce swelling in his left shin, he remains a question mark, but the Seahawks will have an opportunity to clear up his status on Friday's injury report.

Listed as limited Wednesday

Lockett (shin) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: According to coach Pete Carroll, Lockett wasn't expected to practice until Thursday, according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. Instead, Lockett bumped that up by one day, seemingly putting the wide receiver on track to miss no games due to the shin injury that forced him to sit out overtime of the Seahawks' Week 10 win at San Francisco and spend the next two days in the hospital. Clearly, Seattle's bye benefited Lockett, who, like Carroll, expects to suit up Sunday at…read more

Sits out practice to start week

Lockett (lower leg) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lockett spent two nights in the hospital due to swelling from a shin contusion following Week 10's win over the 49ers, and he's benefitted from a bye week to recover. Coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism about the wideout's ability to play Sunday against the Eagles, only for the 27-year-old to start the practice week on the sidelines. The team is hopeful that Lockett will return to the field for Thursday's practice in some capacity, but unless he can work without limitations, Lockett likely…read more

Expected to be available Sunday

Coach Pete Carroll said Lockett (shin) is "doing better," and he expects the wide receiver to play Sunday at Philadelphia, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Lockett is in recovery mode from a shin contusion that caused him to miss overtime of the Seahawks' Week 10 win at San Francisco. Subsequent swelling in the region forced a hospital stay, but he was able to return to Seattle last Wednesday. There's no telling how much, if any, practice time he'll get in this week, but Carroll's comments put a positive spin on Lockett's availability.

Rejoining team

Lockett (lower leg) is traveling back to Seattle on Wednesday and remains on track to play in the Seahawks' next game Week 12 versus the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lockett spent the last two days at Stanford Hospital after sustaining a shin contusion during Monday's 27-24 win over the 49ers. The 27-year-old will benefit from extra time to recover due to the opportune timing of Seattle's bye, and he appears to have a good chance at returning to the field without missing any action. In his five-year NFL career, the durable wideout has suited up for 73 of a possible 74 regular-season games.

Optimism reigns

Lockett (shin) will remain at Stanford Hospital through Tuesday night, but according to coach Pete Carroll, the medical staff "think he's going to be fine to play next week" at Philadelphia, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: While no injury is a good one, the timing of Lockett's issue is opportune as the Seahawks enter their bye week. He missed the overtime period of Monday's 27-24 win at San Francisco due to a contusion to his shin that caused significant swelling, which necessitated the hospital visit. With plenty of time to rest and recover, Lockett will aim to miss no games as a result of the injury.

Should be OK for next game

Lockett is expected to be OK after he went to the hospital to have his left shin looked at following Monday's 27-24 overtime win at San Francisco, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Lockett missed the extra period due to severe swelling in the shin, which resulted in him making a visit to Stanford Hospital. The Seahawks have a bye week on tap, so he'll have plenty of time to rest and recover before their next game Nov. 24 at Philadelphia.

Suffers lower-leg injury

Lockett spent the night in a Bay Area hospital after suffering a lower-leg injury during Monday's 27-24 win over the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Per Nick Shook of NFL.com, Lockett suffered a lower left leg contusion Monday night that caused severe swelling, which prompted the wideout's trip to the hospital. We'll look for updates on Lockett's condition Tuesday, but his status will need to be monitored in advance of the Seahawks' next contest, Nov. 24 against the Eagles.

Questionable to return

Lockett suffered a lower leg injury Monday against the 49ers and is questionable to return, Liz Matthews of The Seahawks Wire reports.

Analysis: Lockett began overtime on the sideline with his helmet off, so it appears unlikely that he'll be returning to the field Monday night. He has three receptions for 26 yards in the contest. Look for him to be re-evaluated when the team resumes practice later this week.

Cleared for Monday

Lockett (hip) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's contest against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite a lengthy list of injured players following Friday's practice, almost every member of the Seahawks enters Monday's pivotal contest without an injury designation, including Lockett. It's unclear if Josh Gordon (ankle) will be available Monday, but even if the newly signed wide receiver were to play, he's unlikely to cut significantly into Lockett's workload. Through nine games, the 27-year-old is easily expected to set a career high in receiving yards, and he has already surpassed his…read more

Limited by hip issue

Lockett was limited at Friday's practice due to a hip injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lockett is making a sudden appearance on the Seahawks' practice report, indicating he may have picked up the concern at Friday's session. No matter when his health became compromised, his status should be monitored closely to get a sense of his availability for Monday's game in San Francisco, which may coincide with Josh Gordon's (ankle) debut with the team.
