Tyler Lockett continues to show the league why the Seattle Seahawks traded a third-rounder, a fourth-rounder, a fifth-rounder, and a sixth-rounder to move up 26 spots and draft the wide receiver out of Kansas State.
On Sunday against the Ravens' 16th-ranked passing defense, Lockett pulled in 6 of 7 targets for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns to bring his total to 7 regular season scores on the year. And rather than slow down like most rookies tend to do, Lockett has actually gotten better as the season has gone on, catching 20 of 22 targets for 280 yards and 4 touchdowns over the last four weeks.
Indeed, ever since Jimmy Graham was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a torn patella tendon, Lockett has accounted for at least 90 yards in each game since.
To end the season, Lockett faces a beatable Browns secondary that ranks 24th against the pass, before the Seahawks take on their division rivals in the Rams (4th against the pass) and Cardinals (9th) to end the year. With that being said, those looking for a high-upside play at wide receiver could benefit from adding Seattle's electric rookie wideout.
