12 Post-NFL Draft Situations to Watch at the Wide Receiver Position for Fantasy Football

Will Tyler Lockett Be Seattle's Antonio Brown?

While media darlings Amari Cooper and Kevin White are likely to be drafted well before the middle rounds of your draft are over, if it's a sleeper you're looking for, then look no further than new Seattle Seahawks wideout Tyler Lockett.

The Seahawks parted with a lot of draft capital for the right to move up 26 spots and select the highly accomplished receiver out of Kansas State. It's rare a team gives up that much on a player they don't intend to play.

But because Lockett likely won't be named a starter ahead of veterans Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse right away, his draft value will likely be suppressed, allowing savvy managers to pick up a startable wide receiver at a bargain price.

Given his skill set and impeccable route running -- as seen on this play in which he thoroughly embarrasses current Chargers corner Jason Verrett -- I expect Tyler to catapult into the starting lineup sooner rather than later this season.

Once this occurs I expect Lockett to be a solid third receiver option for most fantasy teams, with a slight bump for those in points-per-reception leagues due to his potential to become a reliable target for quarterback Russell Wilson thanks to his precise footwork.
