Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught three of his four targets for 24 yards during Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Tucker played just 79.2 percent of offensive snaps in the contest, which was his lowest rate since Week 2. Still, he managed to post his largest reception total since Week 12. Even though the 23-year-old merely delivered modest production, it was a good bounce-back showing from him after he caught just two of eight targets one week earlier. His improved catch rate in Sunday's regular-season finale suggests that he can handle increased opportunities on offense. Moving forward, Las Vegas will likely look to bring in some competition at wide receiver during the offseason, but Tucker has established himself as a reputable target. He's worth holding in dynasty leagues, and he could sneak into the last couple rounds of 2025 drafts in deeper formats.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has one more chance to cement himself as a key part of the team's passing attack during Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. The wide receiver position will be a key area of discussion in Las Vegas this offseason, and Tucker has an opportunity to make a case for himself on film and in the stat sheet this weekend. He has routinely played north of 90 percent of the offensive snaps lately, and he commanded an impressive eight targets last weekend against the New Orleans Saints. However, he caught just two of those eight targets, adding 24 yards and one touchdown along the way. This week, Tucker faces a Los Angeles defense that has ranked near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to wide receivers this season. They're slightly better against slot receivers, and fortunately for Tucker, he's played just one-fifth of his snaps from the slot this season. Tucker ranks as a WR4 heading into Sunday's regular-season finale.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker was targeted eight times during Sunday's Week 17 win over the New Orleans Saints, but he ultimately caught just two passes for 14 yards and a touchdown. He also added a five-yard rush. It was a bizarre day for Tucker as he finished second on the team in targets but fourth in catches and fifth in receiving yards. Simply put, he and Aidan O'Connell weren't quite able to get on the same page very often in New Orleans. However, Tucker did salvage his fantasy showing by finding the end zone, giving him his first touchdown since Week 13 against the Chiefs (and just his third touchdown of the season). Tucker remains the Raiders' No. 2 receiver, but he'll be hard to trust in fantasy football when he takes on the Los Angeles Chargers next week.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker continues to see the field at a very high rate, but his production has been suboptimal lately. Just last week, Tucker played 92 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps but caught just two passes for 41 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has just six catches for 66 yards over his last three games, ranking as the overall WR81 in PPR leagues during that span. While Tucker does have higher upside this week against a Saints defense allowing the sixth-most catches, fifth-most receiving yards, and seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2024, his recent track record makes him tough to trust in lineups, especially as we reach the heart of the fantasy playoffs. Tucker can be benched in most fantasy formats, and even in deep leagues, he's nothing more than a mere dart throw.
Dec 28, 2024 9:35 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker wasn't much of a contributor in the team's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He posted two receptions for 41 yards on four targets and received one carry which went eight yards in the wrong direction. Unfortunately, Aidan O'Connell threw a lot of short passes that went to Brock Bowers and Ameer Abdullah more often than Tucker and Jakobi Meyers. This marks Tucker's third week in a row as a WR58 or worse in half-PPR formats. He'll try to bounce back against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17.
Dec 23, 2024 9:52 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker hasn't made much of an impact this season, but he has a chance to have a solid day against one of the NFL's worst pass defenses. Vegas will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16, who allow a ludicrous 7.9 yards per pass attempt to opposing teams this season. For context, the gap between JAX and the second-worst team, the Dallas Cowboys, is 0.6 yards. That's the same as the gap between the Cowboys and the 17th ranked pass defense. So the Jags are not only the worst in the league at stopping passers, they're worse by a long shot. With QB1 Aidan O'Connell (knee) expected to return, we could see a few plays where Tucker beats the soft defense deep and AOC chucks it to him downfield. That's worth taking a shot on in very deep fantasy football leagues.
Dec 21, 2024 3:12 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught two of his three targets for 18 yards and didn't record a rush in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. He's becoming an afterthought in this offense, though the offense was mostly an afterthought anyway overall. Without QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) leading the offense, things were mostly ugly in the passing attack, and the Raiders didn't get a lot going on the ground either. It wasn't until the team was down by two scores late in the fourth quarter that they got into a rhythm, but it was too late, and Tucker wasn't much of a part of it. Though he gets an easy matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16, he's still not worth starting moving forward. Tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers should continue to dominate the receiving work for the team.
Dec 17, 2024 1:36 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker logged just seven receiving yards on two receptions in Week 14. His usage wasn't horrible, as he was targeted five times, but he's struggled with consistency all season. With starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) questionable for Monday's game, it's hard to see that changing in a big way. He's still behind elite tight end Brock Bowers and excellent WR Jakobi Meyers in target priority, and he's more of a gadget player than anything. He has an excellent matchup, though. If O'Connell or backup QB Desmond Ridder end up getting in a rhythm, he could have a decent day. But his floor in fantasy football is extremely low, so outside of deeper leagues, he shouldn't be in starting consideration.
Dec 14, 2024 11:06 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker brought in 2-of-5 targets for seven yards in his team's 28-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. The second-year wideout's production came crashing back to Earth on Sunday after back-to-back viable fantasy performances. It was the eighth time in 13 outings that he's registered two or fewer receptions. The outlook of this offense becomes even more cloudy now as quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) was carted off in an air cast and replaced by Desmond Ridder. Tucker plays a high percentage of snaps and has a path to targets in this passing attack. However, the Raiders' offensive woes continue and make him an unreliable option. He'll square off against the visiting Atlanta Falcons next Monday night in Week 15.
Dec 8, 2024 9:52 PM EST
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.
Dec 7, 2024 12:42 PM EST
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.
Nov 29, 2024 10:30 PM EST
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.
Nov 29, 2024 2:02 AM EST
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.
Nov 28, 2024 1:20 PM EST
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.
Nov 27, 2024 8:24 PM EST
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.
Nov 26, 2024 9:33 PM EST
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.
Nov 25, 2024 1:19 AM EST
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.
Nov 22, 2024 11:17 PM EST
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.
Nov 18, 2024 1:37 AM EST
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.
Nov 16, 2024 12:46 AM EST
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.
