Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Jack Bech

Saturday, December 6, 5:11 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has recorded three receptions or fewer in four of the past five games since Brock Bowers returned in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tucker has operated as the Raiders' primary wide receiver, but the production has been limited. The 24-year-old had an intriguing two-game stretch in Weeks 11 and 12, totaling seven receptions (18 targets) for 75 yards and scoring his first touchdown since Week 3. Tucker has recorded at least two receptions in every game this season and remains a viable fantasy option in deep leagues due to his volume of routes. He faces a tough matchup in Week 14 against an elite Denver Broncos secondary that held him to two catches for 28 yards in their Week 10 meeting. Tucker is tough to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option in a struggling Raiders offense.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech is expected to have an expanded role during the Week 14 matchup versus the Denver Broncos, with fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. (concussion) ruled out. The Raiders are banged up with only three healthy wideouts right now. Last week, Bech hauled in two of his three targets for 22 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He played 56 percent of the offensive snaps, which was the most for Bech since Week 7. The rookie wideout figures to see more of the field on Sunday, but production isn't guaranteed, especially against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Raiders have struggled to move the ball in the passing game this season. Bech should be viewed as a risky flex option, even in the deepest of leagues, for Week 14.
