Fantasy Football: 5 Undervalued Wide Receivers to Target

Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks

ADP: 12.02 (WR55)

A player with a 4.40-second 40-yard dash and a 13.0-yard average depth of target doesn't always profile as someone who can be a high-volume option, but Tyler Lockett shouldn't be worried about volume in 2018.

Lockett maintained just a 17% air yards market share last season, but he remains tied to one of the NFL's best deep-ball passers in Russell Wilson (100.9 quarterback rating on deep attempts since 2016).

In parting ways with Jimmy Graham and Paul Richardson, the Seattle Seahawks also parted ways with 50% of their red zone targets from 2017.

Despite just 8 targets from plays starting in the red zone, Lockett had 8 end zone targets, and 29.6% of his targets landed inside the 20, ranking 13th among players with at least 70 targets. Graham and Richardson vacate 23 end zone targets combined, and Doug Baldwin had just 10 end zone targets last season, barely besting Lockett.

Lockett also caught just 4 of 14 passes that landed inside the 10, including just 1 of his 8 end zone targets. There's a lot of missed opportunity in there, and after Baldwin (who is already dealing with injury) it's up to an uninspiring trio of Brandon Marshall, Amara Darboh, and Jaron Brown to eat into Lockett's market share.

For a 12th-round pick, Lockett could wind up as a league-winner.
