Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Kyle Williams

Saturday, November 15, 2:13 PM

Through nine games this season, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has recorded 34 catches for 455 yards and four touchdowns. With wideout Jakobi Meyers no longer with the Raiders after being traded at the deadline, Tucker profiles as the WR1 and number two pass-catcher behind tight end Brock Bowers in Las Vegas. Tucker's first game without Meyers in Week 10 was underwhelming, as he recorded just two catches for 28 yards on three targets against the Denver Broncos. However, Tucker now gets a significantly easier matchup in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. Through 10 weeks, the Dallas defense ranks 30th in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.2) and 31st in touchdown passes allowed (22). Tucker should be heavily involved in the Raiders' Week 11 game plan, which could create plenty of opportunities for production. He profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 11 against Dallas.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams should continue to see more involvement during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. Williams is coming off a strong outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which he posted a season-high (and, thus, career-high) 56 percent snap share. He caught one of two targets in the victory, breaking off an impressive 72-yard touchdown that wound up on numerous highlight reels. While we can't count on the rookie to break off a huge touchdown every week, last Sunday's big play should be enough to earn him more opportunities going forward. His volume will also continue to benefit from the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), who is headed for his second consecutive absence. Williams still has to compete with players like Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas for volume, but he's certainly starting to earn the trust of Drake Maye and New England's coaching staff. Williams is a WR5 with a low floor and high ceiling this week. Managers in most leagues can leave him on the bench until we see him consistently earn more targets.
