Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Dont'e Thornton Jr.

Saturday, November 22, 1:51 PM

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.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. is trying to take advantage of expanded opportunities in Week 11. Thornton only caught one pass for four yards in their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos, but played 60% of the snaps, which ranked second on the team. With the Dallas Cowboys on the slate in Week 11, Thornton could offer big-play upside in deeper leagues and DFS formats. The Cowboys have allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to wide receivers this season, so this could be a big week for the rookie receiver. In what should be a high-scoring affair in Week 11, look for Thornton to make an impact in Week 11.
