Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Isaiah Bond

Saturday, October 4, 6:22 PM

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond had his best game as a pro in Week 4's loss to the Detroit Lions, catching three of six targets for 58 yards. Bond has a chance to continue to ascend in Week 5's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London. The Browns placed Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on injured reserve earlier in the week, which will open up a larger workload for Bond moving forward. The Vikings are allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season, but Bond is worth a look in fantasy as a boom/bust flex option if you are being hit hard by the Week 5 byes.
