Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Xavier Legette

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker led the team in 2025 with 90 targets and 696 receiving yards. Of course, All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers was slowed by injury in the first week of the season, ultimately missing five games with a PCL sprain and bone bruise. Running back Ashton Jeanty also caught 55 passes as a rookie and could see a heavier workload in year two, but with the Raiders making few additions to the receiver room through either free agency or the draft, the spot of a third target earner is still very much up for grabs in Klint Kubiak's offense. Vegas signed Jalen Nailor to a three-year, $35 million deal and selected Malik Benson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, adding to a room of Tucker and 2025 second and fourth-round picks, Jack Bech and D'onte Thornton Jr. While Tucker should earn starters reps again in 2026, his upside could be capped by a 37-year-old Kirk Cousins and a rookie Fernando Mendoza, and with only one year remaining on his rookie contract, the long-term plays in Vegas are more likely Nailor and Bech, before even addressing the loaded 2027 draft class. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR92, Tucker is not going to draw many suitors on the open trade market, but could be a useful throw-in as part of a larger deal.
