Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Tre Tucker

Sunday, December 7, 12:15 AM

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the New Orleans Saints expect to have wide receiver Chris Olave (back) for Sunday's divisional clash with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave popped up on the Saints' practice report last week with back spasms, but would ultimately play his usual allotment of snaps in their loss to Miami despite two limited practices and a DNP. He'd follow a similar regimen at practice this week, and it seems he'll play through the issue again. Fellow wideout Devaughn Vele has come on recently as a decent secondary option. However, Olave should see substantial utilization, particularly with running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) set to miss another contest. He's a solid WR2 if not held back by his injury.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has recorded three receptions or fewer in four of the past five games since Brock Bowers returned in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tucker has operated as the Raiders' primary wide receiver, but the production has been limited. The 24-year-old had an intriguing two-game stretch in Weeks 11 and 12, totaling seven receptions (18 targets) for 75 yards and scoring his first touchdown since Week 3. Tucker has recorded at least two receptions in every game this season and remains a viable fantasy option in deep leagues due to his volume of routes. He faces a tough matchup in Week 14 against an elite Denver Broncos secondary that held him to two catches for 28 yards in their Week 10 meeting. Tucker is tough to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option in a struggling Raiders offense.
