Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Roman Wilson

Friday, September 12, 8:51 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker got his 2025 season started on the right foot with new quarterback Geno Smith running the offense in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, and scored his first touchdown of the year. Tucker caught only two of three targets, but he averaged a robust 27 yards per reception to finish with 54 yards in the contest. The 24-year-old played 57 of a possible 63 offensive snaps as the clear WR2 behind Jakobi Meyers. Most weeks, Tucker will be a hard sell as a boom/bust flex play in fantasy, but he could have more sleeper appeal in Week 2 on Monday night against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers if target-hog tight end Brock Bowers (knee) cannot play -- Bowers has missed two practices already this week. In two games against L.A. last year, Tucker had five catches for 46 scoreless yards.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson did not see the field much in the season opener and will hope for more involvement in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson logged just 10 of a possible 56 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind starting wideouts DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. With Wilson competing alongside Ben Skowronek and Scotty Miller for the WR3 role, and Pittsburgh showing a willingness to utilize multiple tight ends, his path to meaningful opportunities remains narrow. As a second-year player who struggled to stay healthy as a rookie, Wilson may emerge at some point, but he should only be viewed as a stash in dynasty formats and cannot be considered in redraft lineups this week.
