Who Should I Start? Gabe Davis or Tre Tucker

The Buffalo Bills reunited with veteran wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) earlier this week, but he'll open the season on the practice squad injured list. Davis is still on the mend from a torn left meniscus he suffered last season as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now 26 years old, Davis spent 2020-23 with the Bills, averaging approximately 41 catches, 683 yards, and seven touchdowns per season during that run. He parlayed his Buffalo production into a three-year, $39 million deal with the Jaguars in free agency, but they released him after he fell flat in 2024. Davis caught just 20 of 42 targets for 239 yards and two scores in 10 games with the Jags before the meniscus injury ended his season in mid-November. The Bills are starting this season with Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Tyrell Shavers as their receivers. It's conceivable that Davis could replace someone from the back end of that group once he recovers.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has been one of the most unpredictable fantasy options through the first month of the season. Despite ranking second on the team in targets with 22 and hauling in 15 receptions, his week-to-week usage has fluctuated wildly with target totals of three, eight, nine, and two. That inconsistency has made him difficult to trust in standard leagues, but his involvement could increase in Week 5 with Brock Bowers likely sidelined. The Raiders may need to lean more on Tucker in the passing game against a Colts defense that ranks 19th against the pass. While his volatility makes him better suited for best ball formats, Tucker's combination of opportunity and matchup gives him sneaky flex appeal this week for fantasy managers willing to take the risk.
