Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Jalen Coker

Saturday, December 13, 12:33 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is set to catch passes from a new quarterback in Week 15 as Kenny Pickett earns the start in place of Geno Smith (back, shoulder). Tucker hasn't caught more than four passes in a single game since the Raiders' bye week, and he only ranks as the overall WR34 in PPR leagues this year despite having a 145-yard, three-touchdown game earlier in the year. In fact, Tucker has dropped to the WR51 spot in half-PPR leagues over his last six contests. Between his recent struggles and the unfortunate change in quarterback this week, Tucker is going to remain off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR54 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings. Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers remain the Raiders' only intriguing starters in fantasy football.

Much like last year, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker is starting to make some noise late in the season. The 24-year-old former undrafted free agent scored for the second straight game in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, catching all four of his targets for 60 yards to lead the Panthers in receiving. Before the Week 14 bye, Coker caught four of a season-high six targets for a season-high 74 yards and his first touchdown of the year. It wasn't all great on Sunday against New Orleans, though, as he also lost a fumble. Overall, though, it was a positive day for Coker, who had two catches of 20-plus yards for the first time this year. The Holy Cross alum could take over WR2 duties from Xavier Legette for the final three weeks of the season. He has gone over 50 receiving yards in three of the last four games. Coker is rostered in only 5% of Yahoo leagues.
