2024 Season Outlooks

We might have experienced the start of Lockett's decline last season when he barely finished behind DK Metcalf in targets per game but was a good 2.2 PPR points per game worse (11.9 per game). That's a lot, especially since Lockett averaged slightly more Fantasy points than Metcalf in the two seasons prior. New playcaller Ryan Grubb has shown a tendency to over-target his receivers, but that includes the slot, which is where Lockett might play a decent amount, but not as much as Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The expectation is that Lockett will still see solid target volume but be inconsistent with his production. He's a decent late-round value (think Round 11) but not someone worth prioritizing.

It was assumed that after nine seasons in Seattle and on the heels of Pete Carroll's departure, Lockett would land with a different squad in 2024. But the organization was motivated to keep the team together, re-signing Lockett to a two-year deal worth $34 million. Failing to clear 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in four years and recording a career-low 11.3 YPR (WR71), Lockett is unlikely to deliver better than WR3 numbers for fantasy purposes. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's presence further lowers Lockett's ceiling. Still, he's a valued vet with a solid floor, and he should remain a stabilizing presence in Seattle and for fans of the virtual game this season.
