Fantasy Tiers

Tyler Lockett: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Tyreek Hill: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #20 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Tyler Lockett is producing at 31% of elite pace and Tyreek Hill at 49%. That ranking gap means Tyreek Hill carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Tyler Lockett vs Tyreek Hill: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Tyler Lockett and Tyreek Hill is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver put up 6.9 PPG in 2025 over 15 games; Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins averaged 10.8 in 4. A 3.9-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 3.9 points favors Tyreek Hill, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.

Target volume is the story here. Tyler Lockett saw 72 targets in 2025, while Tyreek Hill drew 29. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Tyler Lockett, even in weeks where Tyreek Hill posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

Tyler Lockett has his bye in Week 10, and Tyreek Hill rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Tyreek Hill is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Tyler Lockett is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Tyler Lockett (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Tyreek Hill (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
