Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Johnny Wilson

Sunday, August 18, 10:51 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker made a strong impression in the Raiders' preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, hauling in three passes for 66 yards and demonstrating his versatility with two punt returns for 48 yards. The highlight of his night was a 48-yard reception from quarterback Gardner Minshew II, which was a key play that led to one of the Raiders' few scoring drives. Tucker's explosiveness was on full display, with another notable punt return unfortunately negated by a penalty. Tucker's performance in this game continues to build on the momentum he generated in the preseason opener, signaling that he could be primed for a breakout sophomore season. His knack for making big plays not only as a receiver, but also as a return specialist, makes him a valuable asset for the Raiders. Tucker could be on the verge of securing a significant role in the Raiders' offense this season. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Tucker as a high-ranking sleeper pick, especially if he continues to showcase this level of playmaking ability as the regular season approaches.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson (hamstring), who was listed as questionable on the team's final Week 2 injury report, is officially active for Monday night's contest against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. In his NFL debut in the Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers in Brazil, Wilson played only 10 offensive snaps and couldn't haul his only target in the game. The 23-year-old sixth-rounder from Florida State could have a bigger role with A.J. Brown (hamstring) inactive, but it's still unlikely to be big enough for him to make an impact for fantasy managers. DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert could be leaned on more by quarterback Jalen Hurt on Monday night, with Jahan Dotson also hoping to have a bigger role in the passing attack after not catching his only target in his Eagles debut last week.
