Drew Lock Fantasy

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.

Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks Geno Smith and Drew Lock have been competing to be under center in Week 1 ever since Lock was acquired from the Broncos earlier this offseason, and it appears the battle will continue. Head coach Pete Carroll said the team will take "all the time we need" to declare a starter. Smith was their backup last season, starting three games when Russell Wilson suffered a finger injury. The 31-year-old has been a starter on multiple teams but never really made much of an impact. The West Virginia product also started in both preseason games, finishing a combined 20-for-33 for 213 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Lock was slated to start in Week 2 against the Bears until he contracted COVID-19. The former Bronco is presumed to start the preseason finale against the Cowboys, barring any setbacks with his health. The final decision will likely come down to the wire. Although neither is an intriguing fantasy football option themselves, the winner will have a significant impact on the value of superstar receiving duo D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock (illness) returned to practice on Sunday after a bout with COVID-19. He was on tap to start in Thursday's preseason contest versus the Chicago Bears, although that didn't happen. However, head coach Pete Carroll recently revealed the former Bronco will "play a lot" during the exhibition against Dallas on Friday night, the team's third and final preseason game. Nevertheless, Lock is battling Geno Smith for the top spot on the depth chart, so this may be his last chance to prove he deserves the job.
