Despite leading the team in receiving last year with 1,175 yards on 73 receptions, Lockett doesn't have the same rosy post-Wilson outlook as Metcalf. At just 5-foot-10, 182 pounds, the veteran has long been a downfield threat that parlayed a handful of excellent games into solid year-end production. Such was the case during the three and a half games helmed by Smith with Lockett producing 9 catches, 104 yards, and 0 TDs in the first two-plus games before going off for a 12-142-0 line in Smith's final start.
Yes, that pattern was seen during Lockett's days with Wilson as well, but the thing about Wilson is that he throws one of the game's best deep balls, so he and Lockett were always a threat to go off for a big game. Smith and Lock both have plenty to prove in that department. Plus, entering his age-30 season, Lockett is unlikely to dramatically alter the way he plays the game. Still, you can't summarily dismiss a receiver that has posted three consecutive 1,000-plus-yard seasons and scored 26 times during that stretch. If you can nab Lockett as a midrange WR3 that feels about right.
