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.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker had his second-least productive game of this season in the 24-41 Week 9 blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was targeted six times, but came up with just two catches for five yards. He did not have a rush attempt. It wasn't his worst game of the season, as he was blanked in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but 2.5 PPR fantasy points isn't a start-worthy stat line in any league. Whether it's the loss of No. 1 wideout Davante Adams, the return of WR Jakobi Meyers or lack of chemistry with the quarterbacks, Tucker now profiles as a bench stash only in the deepest of fantasy leagues. He'll head into a Week 10 bye before another game against the Miami Dolphins.
Tre Tucker Hoping To Bounce Back After Two Disappointing Outings
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is looking to bounce back to better production after two lackluster performances in Weeks 7 and 8. He's scored just 7.7 and 5.3 PPR fantasy points in his last two games. The extra defensive attention he's drawn due to the absence of the team's current WR1 didn't benefit him in Week 7, and Week 8 he faced one of the toughest pass defenses in the league in the Kansas City Chiefs. His Week 9 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, allow the 14th-fewest PPR fantasy points to opposing wideouts, making them significantly softer than KC's unit. Tucker is a WR4 for this week's contest, so he'll only be viable in very deep leagues.
Tre Tucker Minimally Involved In Offense In Week 8
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker touched the ball just three times in his Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was targeted only three times, catching two passes for 26 yards, while rushing one time for seven yards. It was a brutal matchup against one of the league's best defenses in which his team mustered just 158 yards of offense outside of a garbage-time touchdown drive. Tucker is the clear second wide receiver on this offense, but his upside is capped by target-hogging tight end Brock Bowers. He should be viewed as a bench-stash in deeper leagues in his upcoming Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. They're a much softer defense, but Tucker is a risky start for now.
Tre Tucker Could Be Raiders Top Receiver Again In Week 8
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker could be the team's top option again at WR in their Week 8 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. The team's current WR1, Jakobi Meyers (ankle) missed practice on Thursday, meaning he may not be available for the contest. If he isn't, Tucker will once again be the team's lead healthy receiver. It's a terrible matchup -- the Chiefs have allowed the fourth-least PPR fantasy points to opposing receivers. They'll be able to focus on the second-year pro and limit him if Meyers can't play. Even if both WRs take the field, it will be difficult for the former Cincinnati Bearcat to succeed. He's not worthy of start consideration in Week 8.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker hauled in three passes on eight targets for 37 yards and rushed one time for 11 yards in the team's loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. He was mostly held in check despite being the top receiving option available for the team. All of Las Vegas' offense has been underperforming for most of the season, save for rookie tight end Brock Bowers. Moving forward, the second-year pro isn't an intriguing starting option in fantasy given the state of the offense. With wide receiver Davante Adams now on the Jets, Tucker is the WR2 for the team when Jakobi Meyers (ankle) returns to the lineup. The Raiders face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. Tucker isn't an appetizing start for that matchup.
Tre Tucker Worth Flex Start In Deep Leagues In Week 7
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has an easier matchup in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams, so he has a solid chance of bouncing back after getting blanked in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He should have expanded opportunity for targets with star WR Davante Adams leaving for the Jets and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) being unlikely to play with a "doubtful" designation. The second-year pro is a speedster with intriguing upside as a deep threat and on gadget plays. The rams are middle-of-the-pack in PPR fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers. The lack of other WRs to draw coverage away from Tucker could hurt his production, though. He's a decent FLEX option in deep leagues.
Tre Tucker Gains Just 26 Total Yards In Week 5 Loss
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught just two passes for 18 yards on five targets and rushed twice for eight yards in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos. It was a quiet day for the second-year pro, but the entire offense struggled against a tough Broncos pass defense outside of garbage time. Tucker's opportunities were limited by a lack of targets and the stifling opposing defense, which caught three interceptions against Raiders' quarterbacks Gardner Minshew II and Aidan O'Connell. Better days should be ahead for the speedster, but the quality of quarterback play in Las Vegas isn't very good. Tucker's matchup in Week 6 is another brutal one. The Raiders will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, who have allowed the ninth-least fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Tucker should be left out of starting lineups for that contest, but he's still worth rostering, especially if lead receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is traded or ruled out for Week 6.
Tre Tucker Has Another Solid Game Against Cleveland
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker had another nice game in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns. Tucker showed his versatility with a three-yard rushing touchdown to go along with five receptions on six targets for 41 yards. He was expected to have a decent role with lead receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) out for Week 4, and he capitalized on his opportunities. The 23-year-old's been showcasing his blinding speed, and Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy should find more ways to get him involved. Sunday's win is a good sign for Tucker, who had 22.60 PPR points in Week 3. The Browns have a stout defense, so his good performance against them shows he's talented enough to earn more opportunities. Tucker will look to continue working with more touches in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos. He may not have as big of a role if Adams returns, but he's at least worth stashing on benches for now.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker logged the biggest game of his career and led the team in receiving yards. Tucker caught seven of nine targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. He was involved early, catching a deep shot from QB Gardner Minshew II for 54 yards in the first quarter. Tucker has been an intriguing deep threat and could be on the path to fantasy relevance in deeper leagues. The 23-year-old still has to compete with wide receivers Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and tight end Brock Bowers for targets, but the Raiders would be well served to get him more involved. Tucker has ridiculous speed, brings a vertical element to the offense, and flashes big-play ability in his rookie season. While Tucker isn't startable outside of deep leagues, he could be worth a bench stash and will look to build on Sunday's performance in the Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
