Tre Tucker Could Have Increased Opportunity In Week 14
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has a nice matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14 and could see added targets with fellow receiver Jakobi Meyers expected to play through an ankle injury on Sunday. Tucker only had a season-low one target in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, but he made the most of it, going for a 58-yard touchdown. The previous week against the Broncos, he caught seven of eight targets for 82 yards, his second-highest receiving total of the year. Tampa's secondary is vulnerable, as they've been a top-10 matchup for receivers in 2024 in terms of PPR points allowed per game. The 23-year-old has been tough to trust in fantasy, as he has three or fewer catches in nine of 12 games. However, he may be worth a dart throw WR4/flex play in deeper leagues this weekend with six teams on bye.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught just one pass in his team's Week 13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but he made the most of it. On his big play, he streaked across the middle of the field before turning vertical and sped up the sideline, tracking down a moon ball from quarterback Aidan O'Connell and outracing the defender before being tackled and getting the ball into the end zone. He also had one rush for 11 yards. It's not encouraging to see Tucker only targeted one time, though. For fantasy purposes, it would be better to see him more involved, but he's usually the third and sometimes just the fourth option in the passing game. It seems like WR Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers are the only two reliable pass-catchers on this team. Tucker will face a porous Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary in Week 14, though. That could afford him more opportunities for big plays, but it's still too risky to start him in all but the deepest of fantasy football leagues.
Tre Tucker Good To Go, Will Face Tough Defense In Week 13
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker (hip) was cleared from the team's injury report, and will suit up in his Week 13 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It's not a great matchup, at least not if you look at season-long stats. Curiously, though, the Chiefs have allowed 44.3 PPR fantasy points per game to opposing WRs in their last three matchups. That's second-most in the NFL to only the Atlanta Falcons. Tucker hasn't had many good games this season, though. He had seven catches for 82 yards last week, but will now have yet another starting quarterback change, as QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is set to return. Tucker is a risky player to trust in fantasy starting lineups. He's best left on the bench for now.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker (hip) has been removed from the final injury report despite logging another limited practice on Thursday. Tucker was limited all week long, but the Raiders have evidently decided he's healthy enough to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday without any sort of limitations or injury designation. The 23-year-old is coming off one of his best games of the season in which he caught seven passes for 82 yards. Tucker has low-end WR3/FLEX appeal in deeper fantasy leagues during Week 13.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker (hip) was listed as limited on Wednesday in the team's second practice of the week. Tucker may have to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday to avoid a questionable designation going into Friday's Week 13 contest versus the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Since the Raiders traded Davante Adams to the New York Jets, Tucker has been the WR2 in Vegas behind Jakobi Meyers in a very lackluster offense. He played 84% of the offensive snaps in last week's loss to the division-rival Denver Broncos and caught seven passes on eight targets for 82 yards, his second-highest yardage total of the year. Tucker will be a WR5/flex in deeper leagues if he's active against a stout Chiefs defense that held him to two catches for 26 yards on Oct. 27. If Turner can't play on Friday, expect DJ Turner to serve as the Raiders' WR2.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker (hip) was a limited participant during Tuesday's walkthrough. Tucker looked sharp over the weekend as he hauled in seven receptions for 82 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. He also picked up a hip injury along the way, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. The Raiders could be limiting him to open the week to keep Tucker fresh ahead of Friday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tucker will probably be a popular waiver wire add this week, but is a risky option for Week 13 given his track record this season.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught seven of his eight targets against the Denver Broncos in Week 12. It was a bounce-back game for him. He had failed to gain more than 41 receiving yards in any contest since Week 3 before today. The Denver defense is typically lockdown against opposing receivers. However, Denver sold out to stop tight end Brock Bowers from gashing them, which left much more room for the wideouts to shine. The Broncos seemed content with slowing down Las Vegas' best weapon. The offense as a whole has struggled mightily this season, though, and Tucker isn't a very good starting option in any leagues yet. It's worth stashing him on benches in very deep leagues, but this is a lost season for the Silver and Black. They'll face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. Not a fun matchup.
Tre Tucker To Again Face Broncos Defense That Stymied Him Previously
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker will face the divisional rival Denver Broncos again in Week 12. They held him to just two catches for 18 yards and eight rushing yards in Week 5. Denver has a stingy pass defense that smothered the second-year pro just a few short months ago. It's hard to see this playing out differently. Tucker has been on a cold streak of games, failing to log above 50 yards receiving since Week 3. He's a gadget player that gets some work in the running game, but not enough to support good fantasy production. He's a play in very deep PPR leagues, but not a tantalizing one at that. It's better to search for other options to fill your fantasy lineups, even if you have multiple players injured.
Tre Tucker Catches Just Three Passes in Week 11 Loss
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker still hasn't found the stride he had for a two-game stretch earlier in the season. He caught three of his four targets for 28 yards and ran the ball one time for seven yards. He hasn't been a big factor in the offense yet, and he's clearly taken a back seat to fellow WR Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers. He'll likely stick in his role as third fiddle on this offense. Despite being a speedster, he simply hasn't been putting himself in position to make many impactful plays for Las Vegas. Week 12 won't present any easier opportunities for him to achieve this, as he'll face the rival Denver Broncos, who are coming off a blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. Denver limited a much better offense to just six points in Week 11.
Tre Tucker Will Try To Rebound From Recent Low Production
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker will do his best to get things into gear against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He hasn't scored double-digit PPR fantasy points since Weeks 3-4, where he had a nice duo of fantasy-relevant games. Since then, he's managed just nine receptions and 85 receiving yards despite being targeted 22 times. He's rushed twice for 18 yards in that stretch. After initially seemingly breaking out, he's fallen back to Earth. The departure of former lead WR Davante Adams likely means Tucker has to face better coverage from opposing teams. That could be making it harder for him to succeed. He's not worth rostering in the vast majority of leagues.
