ADP: 119.8

Owned %: 15.5

Position: Wide Receiver

2014 Season Statistics: N/A

The Seattle Seahawks entered the 2014 NFL offseason with a shortage of playmakers in the receiving corps. It didn’t take long for Seattle to address that void with tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receiver Tyler Lockett.

Lockett may be a rookie, but the third-round draft pick is primed and ready for a big year.

Lockett is far from the biggest player on the field, but he’s a crisp route runner with very good hands. He’s a true competitor who can work from outside the numbers or from the slot.

He may not post a 1,000-yard season as a rookie, but he should be productive once he finds his rhythm with Russell Wilson.

Lockett’s combination of speed and reliability made him the most productive playmaker in Kansas State Wildcats history. He may not set records in the NFL, but he will post numbers.

Get Lockett before the rest of your fantasy football league catches on to his upside.
