Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Jalen Coker

Tuesday, November 25, 11:19 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker had a modest outing in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns, recording just three catches for 28 yards. However, Tucker was targeted 10 times and has now earned 18 targets over the last two weeks. With the Raiders having traded Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars at the trade deadline, Tucker now profiles as the clear WR1 in Las Vegas. The team's overall offensive struggles hold down the 24-year-old's upside to some degree. However, if he continues to earn close to double-digit targets every week, Tucker should see his overall production spike. In any PPR fantasy league with 12 or more teams where he's not already rostered, Tucker should be a waiver-wire target heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Jalen Coker caught three of his four targets for 32 yards in the Panthers' 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Carolina WR totaled 6.2 PPR points, marking the first time he had back-to-back weeks with over 6.0 points. This year's fantasy totals for Coker are still unremarkable, and he has yet to be targeted more than four times in a single game. Carolina is facing the Rams in Week 13. Los Angeles ranks 16th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to the WR position this year. Despite the middling matchup for his position, Coker has not delivered enough quality results this season to be a factor for fantasy lineups. Fantasy players should not even consider picking him up, as his volume is too low to justify a roster spot. No Carolina WR other than Tetairoa McMillan is worth a fantasy roster spot, and Coker has not displayed any unique playmaking abilities that the team desperately needs.
