Tre Tucker News
Tuesday, July 21, 5:25 AM
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker led the team with 696 receiving yards in 2025, taking advantage of a depth chart that saw Jakobi Meyers traded away after Week 9 and All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers in and out of the lineup with a knee injury. With free agent receiver Jalen Nailor representing the most notable addition to the pass-catching group, Tucker should again be a featured piece of the Raiders offense under new head coach and playcaller Klint Kubiak. As offensive coordinator for the Seahawks, Kubiak was able to scheme up splash plays through heavy play-action usage, making Tucker a particularly interesting dart throw in best ball formats, though he could work his way into weekly flex discussions if Vegas can find cohesion under veteran Kirk Cousins and later first overall pick Fernando Mendoza. At RotoBaller's WR65, Tucker is likely to begin the year on waivers in many leagues, but he is a player to monitor throughout training camp, as his big-play ability can rack up fantasy points in a hurry.

Jaylin Noel News
Wednesday, July 22, 8:13 PM
Even though Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel figures to be a bigger part of the passing game in his second season in 2026, most fantasy managers won't be looking his way after he posted a 26-292-2 line in 17 regular-season games (three starts) last year after he was selected in the third round (79th overall) out of Iowa State. Nico Collins and fellow second-year wideout Jayden Higgins figure to be the team's top-two WRs, so ultimately, Noel's case for a second-year breakout could depend on how much Tank Dell can do after missing the entire 2025 season following a devastating knee injury in 2024. The 23-year-old reportedly looked strong during minicamp this offseason, and he made the most of his limited opportunities in his rookie campaign in an inconsistent offense. If Noel stakes claim to the No. 3 role in Houston, his raw athleticism and versatility make him an interesting late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts this fall. He finished his rookie year just inside the top-100 WRs in half-PPR points, but RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 79 WR going into Year 2.
