6 DraftKings Bargains for Week 12
Tyler Lockett, WR, Seattle Seahawks
DraftKings Price: $4,600
Unless you are playing in a league that counts return yards, Tyler Lockett is rarely a safe pick in fantasy football. He has reached double digits in only 3 of 10 games, and by looking at the coefficient of variation (standard deviation/mean), we can see that he is clearly a more volatile asset than his teammates.
| Player | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Week 11 | Mean | SD | CV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jimmy Graham | 3.8 | 1.1 | 14.2 | 10.1 | 15.7 | 14.1 | 19.9 | 10.9 | 20.7 | 20.8 | 13.13 | 6.45 | 0.49 |
| Doug Baldwin | 10 | 10.4 | 29.5 | 8.5 | 7.7 | 24.2 | 11.4 | 26.8 | 14.5 | 12 | 15.5 | 7.72 | 0.50 |
| Paul Richardson | 9.9 | 9.9 | 11 | 9.5 | 6.5 | 14.1 | 31.5 | 7.1 | 5.3 | 10.6 | 11.54 | 7.07 | 0.61 |
| Tyler Lockett | 1.8 | 12.4 | 5 | 13.1 | 6.3 | 8.4 | 20.9 | 3 | 2.6 | 7.7 | 8.12 | 5.62 | 0.69 |
All that aside, Lockett has a solid matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. They happen to be one of the three teams Lockett scored double-digit points against, and are also the fifth-worst team against the pass, according to our metrics.
Seattle has an implied total of 25.75 points, so there should be plenty of opportunity for Lockett to rack up the fake points, especially since the Seattle run game is nonexistent. Lockett is not a player you want to build around in cash lineups, but his upside make him a worthy option to consider in tournaments.
