Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Xavier Worthy

Monday, October 6, 12:39 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker didn't have an outstanding day by any means on Sunday, but he did lead the team in receiving in their 40-6 blowout loss on the road to the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 5. Tucker caught four of his six targets on the day for 62 yards and also carried the ball once for a gain of nine yards. The 24-year-old did lead the Raiders in receiving yards, but fantasy mangers might have been expecting more production from him with star tight end Brock Bowers sidelined with a knee injury. Tucker was tied for second on the team in both targets and receptions on a day in which the Raiders could not find the end zone at all. The third-year wideout already has a career-best four touchdowns through five games in 2025 while adding 286 receiving yards on 19 receptions. Tucker isn't a bad WR4/flex as he continues to gain chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith. A big game could be coming in Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle, shoulder) is officially active, as expected, for the Monday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars to close out Week 5 action, according to Matt McMullen of Chiefs.com. Worthy dislocated his right shoulder on the first offensive drive of 2025 in Week 1 and then missed Weeks 2 and 3. The speedy 22-year-old returned in last week's win over the Baltimore Ravens, but he was added to Saturday's injury report due to swelling in his ankle. The issue isn't serious for Worthy, though, and he'll be available as one of the team's top offensive weapons against the 3-1 Jags. Worthy caught five of his eight targets for 83 yards in Week 4 and added two carries for 38 yards while playing 59% of the snaps. He could be even more involved on Monday night in his second game back from his shoulder injury.
