Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Jack Bech

Saturday, November 15, 2:13 PM

Through nine games this season, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has recorded 34 catches for 455 yards and four touchdowns. With wideout Jakobi Meyers no longer with the Raiders after being traded at the deadline, Tucker profiles as the WR1 and number two pass-catcher behind tight end Brock Bowers in Las Vegas. Tucker's first game without Meyers in Week 10 was underwhelming, as he recorded just two catches for 28 yards on three targets against the Denver Broncos. However, Tucker now gets a significantly easier matchup in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. Through 10 weeks, the Dallas defense ranks 30th in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.2) and 31st in touchdown passes allowed (22). Tucker should be heavily involved in the Raiders' Week 11 game plan, which could create plenty of opportunities for production. He profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 11 against Dallas.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech did not play a snap in Week 9's loss to Jacksonville. Despite being selected 58th overall out of TCU, he has just seven receptions for 73 yards through eight games. With Jakobi Meyers traded to Jacksonville, Bech is positioned to see increased snaps moving forward. In the one game Meyers missed this season, Bech logged a season-high 63% snap share. That increased opportunity may not translate into fantasy value this week. Denver has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, making this a difficult matchup to expect meaningful production. Bech is worth monitoring on Thursday night, but he should remain on waivers in all formats for now.
