START ‘EM #2

. Wide Receiver. Seahawks. Tyler Lockett. 2. player. 36

Tyler Lockett might seem like a weird pick here, but the former Kansas State standout has proven to be one of Russell Wilson’s favorite targets in the red zone. For further proof of that, Lockett has scored a touchdown in all but two games this season.

While Lockett isn’t targeted much, when he does get the ball thrown his way, he delivers. He’s yet to have a 100-yard game, which could make some fantasy footballers skeptical of playing him, but the fact that he’s a touchdown machine is why I’d roll with him this week.

Lockett also provides some quality points in the return game, so you can hopefully get double duty from him if he’s in your lineup come Thursday. It appears that Lockett has surpassed Doug Baldwin on the depth chart too, which is yet another reason to put him in your starting lineup.
