Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks

Stats: 755 receiving yards, 9 touchdowns

Tyler Lockett has been a big surprise this season hauling in nine total touchdowns. His Week 15 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers is too juicy to pass up. The Seahawks are in no position to be resting players either. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of Lockett’s floor coming into this game. Plus, the Seahawks really need this win to supplant themselves as a playoff team.

Any setbacks could open the doors for those awaiting a team to falter. Lockett is a lock for Week 15. See what we did there? His floor is really high. He averages 60 yards and one touch a game. His four receptions is low but adds extra points in PPR. So what are we looking at? Well, we are looking at a floor of 16 fantasy points per game this season. Not bad at all when you’re trying to win and go to the next round.

The 49ers have allowed 343 total yards per game, 235 receiving yards, 108 rushing yards, and 28 points per game to opposing offenses this season. So what can we take away from all of this? We can absolutely expect Lockett to come up for us in a big way this Sunday. He has a great matchup and more importantly he won’t be sat due to the Seahawks overall record. If you have him, play him.

Prediction: 100 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns
