Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Tre Tucker

Friday, November 21, 3:19 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor should be avoided in most formats when his struggling offense goes on the road to play Green Bay in Week 12. The Vikings have counted on Nailor in big spots -- like a game-clinching catch at Detroit and a fourth-quarter touchdown against Baltimore -- but his overall volume, 3.7 targets per game, hasn't been enough to rely upon on a week-to-week basis. Additionally, the Vikings are having a hard time simply staying on the field. During the past three weeks, Minnesota has averaged 58 plays as quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled to acclimate to the NFL. With Nailor set to face a Green Bay defense that ranks ninth overall against half-PPR receivers, managers should look for a better option this week.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker scored his first touchdown since Week 3 in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, finishing with four catches for 47 yards on eight targets. Tucker has served as the No. 2 option in the Raiders' passing game following the team's trading Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars at the deadline. The Raiders offense still flows through superstar tight end Brock Bowers, along with rookie Ashton Jeanty, but Tucker has made plays in his limited opportunities. The 24-year-old has a tough matchup against a stout Cleveland Browns defense in Week 12. Tucker projects as a risky start as a WR3/flex option in 12-team leagues.
