Drew Lock Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock agreed to a one-year deal on Thursday to return to the team. The signal-caller will make a base salary of $4 million, although his new agreement could allow him to collect as much as $7.5 million. Lock has thrown for 4,740 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions since entering the league in 2019. He'll continue to back up Geno Smith, who just signed on with the Seahawks for three additional seasons. As a result, the 28-year-old won't have any fantasy value as long as he's on the bench, so managers won't look his way unless Smith gets hurt. At the same time, Seattle may take a quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft, jeopardizing Lock's fantasy potential even more.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has played well enough that the team wants to bring him back in 2023, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The veteran has come out of nowhere to rank among the league's best in many key passing categories, all while leading the Seahawks to a 6-3 record. As Rapoport writes, the team wants to extend both Smith and backup quarterback Drew Lock, but extension talks won't begin until the offseason.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock missed the previous preseason game due to COVID-19 and was expected to play the majority of the snaps during the team's preseason finale Friday night. The 25-year-old went 13-for-24 in the team's 27-26 loss to the Cowboys, finishing with 171 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. The former Denver Bronco has a huge arm but can sometimes be reckless with the ball. Shortly after Friday night's game, head coach Pete Carroll announced that Geno Smith would be the team's starter in Week 1 against the Broncos. Although Smith is starting Week 1, there is still a chance Lock will start a few games down the stretch, as these two have been battling for the QB1 spot all offseason. Smith will be a low-end QB2 this year, while Lock should be left on the waiver wire.
