Tre Tucker News
Friday, October 2, 12:55 PM
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker should get more involved in Week 4, but should fantasy managers play him against the Kansas City Chiefs? Tucker's target share could tick up since fellow receiver Jack Bech (forearm) is sidelined for at least four games. However, the return of All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers has already significantly cut into Tucker's opportunities, and he was held to just four receptions for 43 yards in Week 3. Additionally, the Chiefs' passing defense is allowing just 178.3 yards per game to start the season. Tucker's diminished usage is unlikely to tick up very much with Bech out, especially going up against a tough opponent. He may be a solid deep-league stash or flex option in other matchups, but Tucker is a sit candidate in redraft leagues in Week 4.

Jalen McMillan News
Wednesday, September 30, 8:28 AM
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed wide receiver Jalen McMillan (knee) on Injured Reserve, which will sideline him for a minimum of four games, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. This was the expected outcome after the team announced that McMillan is dealing with a PCL sprain in his left knee. The 24-year-old is expected to miss around six to eight weeks. It is a big blow to Tampa's passing game, especially after they lost quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) for at least three weeks as well. McMillan had been dealing with knee issues since training camp this summer, and he missed the Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals before catching zero passes on just one target in Weeks 2 and 3. He can safely be dropped in most single-year leagues where he was rostered. With McMillan out for the foreseeable future, rookie Ted Hurst III becomes an intriguing waiver-wire pickup this week as the WR3 behind Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr., although Mayfield's injury will certainly hurt Hurst's short-term upside.
