Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or RJ Harvey

Saturday, December 6, 5:11 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has recorded three receptions or fewer in four of the past five games since Brock Bowers returned in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tucker has operated as the Raiders' primary wide receiver, but the production has been limited. The 24-year-old had an intriguing two-game stretch in Weeks 11 and 12, totaling seven receptions (18 targets) for 75 yards and scoring his first touchdown since Week 3. Tucker has recorded at least two receptions in every game this season and remains a viable fantasy option in deep leagues due to his volume of routes. He faces a tough matchup in Week 14 against an elite Denver Broncos secondary that held him to two catches for 28 yards in their Week 10 meeting. Tucker is tough to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option in a struggling Raiders offense.

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey posted his most significant workload of the season in Week 14's 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, totaling 100 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 23 total opportunities. Harvey was out there for the most snaps (50) and highest snap share (68%) of his debut season, setting a new career-high with his touch total. It was a strong performance for the rookie, and he'd be on the rise even further if fantasy managers could rely on a heavy touch load moving forward. Denver's offense has been up and down, but Harvey's touchdown upside and an increasing opportunity share have him positioned to be a force down the stretch of the fantasy playoffs. He'll face a tough test this weekend against the visiting Green Bay Packers, though he still presents solid RB2 value.
