While the concerns about DK Metcalf being a "boom or bust" type of receiver have been put to rest, the player who truly exemplifies that phrase is actually his teammate, Tyler Lockett. An absurdly hot start to the 2020 season allowed Lockett to scrape together a top-12 WR finish on the year in non-PPR formats, but ask any fantasy owners who had a stake in the Seahawks wide receiver and you'll hear the disappointment in his or her voice as the tales of his pathetic second half are retold. From Week 8 through the fantasy championship of Week 16, Lockett scored just one touchdown. Worse yet, he failed to exceed 67 yards in any of those nine contests. It was an abysmal finish to what looked like it could be a monster season for Lockett, who was the fantasy WR1 overall after six games.
As we look into 2021, there is no longer a conversation about who the WR1 is in Seattle - it's Metcalf. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Lockett can't also provide some fantasy production. There's still very little target competition in Seattle so he should see significant enough opportunities to contribute some boom weeks which would be particularly helpful in best ball formats which continue to become more popular each year. Even in traditional formats, though, Lockett should at least be a bit more consistent, assuming that the Seahawks do end up leaning a bit more on their passing game than they did down the stretch in 2020. Still, there will likely be time that Lockett disappoints and it's been difficult to predict his spike weeks, so he could be frustrating to own yet again this season.
