Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Bucky Irving

Friday, November 22, 11:17 PM

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is coming off a strong performance against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. The rookie back rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on 13 attempts on the ground. Irving continues to play well and has been rewarded with more snaps in the backfield. However, Irving is still stuck in a committee with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, so his fantasy value is limited. Irving does get a plus matchup against the New York Giants this weekend. There are a handful of teams on bye weeks, which could put Irving in the RB2 conversation for this weekend.
