Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Tre Tucker

Tuesday, October 28, 4:43 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught six of his nine targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the New York Giants. As expected, without No. 1 wide receiver A.J. Brown in the lineup, Smith led the team in targets, receptions, and yards as the Eagles cruised to victory. It was impressive for Smith to record this line, given how well the Eagles ran the ball, which led to Jalen Hurts only attempting 20 passes in the game. The 26-year-old should be expected to operate as the clear focal point of the passing game if Brown is unable to play in their next game, which will come in Week 10 against the Packers after their Week 9 bye.

The Las Vegas Raiders traded away Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday, and now Tucker is listed as the team's No. 1 wide receiver. Obviously, Brock Bowers is the number one pass-catching option for the Raiders offense, but Meyers was averaging seven targets per game. Those targets now have to go to somebody else, with Tucker and Bowers being the most likely candidates. Tucker has had some spike weeks in 2025, with a three-touchdown game back in Week 3, but has been more of a boom-or-bust WR3 option for fantasy managers with 427 receiving yards and four touchdowns through nine weeks. With Meyers on the move and a clear path for more targets, Tucker could work his way into the low-end WR2 conversation moving forward, but certainly has to prove it first. Tyler Lockett, Dont'e Thornton, and Jack Bech are not much of a threat for targets at this time.
