Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Sights set on Week 1

Lockett (leg) is confident he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2017 season, saying, "Oh yeah, for sure I will," when asked about that possibility, Gee Scott of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Analysis:

Lockett suffered a gruesome compound fracture to his left fibula and tibia during Week 16 of the regular season, requiring him to undergo surgery after catching 41 passes for 597 yards and a touchdown. Since his operation, Lockett has been working hard in his rehab, which caused coach Pete Carroll to project last month that the wideout would be healthy for the start of next season. Although he's still unable to run, Lockett recently confirmed Carroll's expectation, which is certainly an encouraging development regarding his fantasy stock, but his status should still be tracked over the course of this offseason.
