Tucker had a solid game in Week 11 against Dallas with four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. It was his first touchdown since Week 3 and his first game with double digits in PPR since Week 6. Geno Smith should continue to lean on Tucker as the No. 1 receiver for the Raiders, but he has a tough matchup in Week 12 against the Browns. Cleveland is No. 7 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and the Browns have allowed just two receiving touchdowns to a receiver in their past four games against Miami, New England, the Jets, and Baltimore. I would only start Tucker in three-receiver leagues in Week 12.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Hits pay dirt Monday
Rotowire
Tucker brought in four of eight targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-16 loss to Dallas.
Tucker experienced greater success in his second game operating as the Raiders' top wideout after cashing in his team's only touchdown of the evening. It was the 24-year-old's first trip to the end zone since scoring thrice back in Week 3, and the eight targets also were the most he's garnered since that standout performance. Tucker was already providing a solid floor for fantasy managers prior to Las Vegas dealing Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville at the trade deadline. Even with the Raiders struggling on offense this season, Tucker's increased role should keep him in the mix as a flex option for Week 12 and beyond.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Tucker was quiet in the Raiders' first game without Jakobi Meyers in Week 10 at Denver, with two catches for 28 yards on three targets. But Tucker should do better in Week 11 against the Cowboys, who are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Dallas leads the NFL with 16 touchdowns allowed to receivers, and 11 guys have scored at least 12 PPR points against the Cowboys this season. Tucker is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues in Week 11. And in deeper leagues, you can take a flier on Tyler Lockett, who had five catches for 44 yards on six targets in the first game without Meyers against the Broncos.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Quiet in first game as top wideout
Rotowire
Tucker brought in two of three targets for 28 yards and rushed once for seven yards in the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
Tucker became the the Raiders' No. 1 receiver on paper due to the trade of Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars on Tuesday, but that wasn't exactly reflected on Thursday's stat sheet. Veteran Tyler Lockett, who had gone without a catch in his team debut Sunday against the Jaguars, finished as Las Vegas pace-setter among the pass-catching corps Thursday with a 5-44-0 line on six targets, while had Tucker his lowest catch and receiving yardage totals since Week 4. Whether the pecking order against Denver is just a one-game anomaly remains to be seen, but the entire Raiders offense has a much more appealing matchup in a Week 11 home clash against the Cowboys on Monday night, Nov. 17.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Tucker is now the No. 1 receiver for the Raiders with Jakobi Meyers getting traded to Jacksonville, but I don't want to start Tucker in Week 10 against the Broncos. Even though Patrick Surtain II (pectoral) isn't expected to play, Denver is still a tough matchup, and the Broncos have allowed just two touchdowns to opposing receivers all season. I'm excited for Tucker's outlook for the rest of the year with Meyers gone, but Tucker is not worth trusting in most leagues in Week 10.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: New No. 1 on depth chart in Vegas
Rotowire
Tucker is the top receiver left on the Raiders' depth chart after Las Vegas traded Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville on Tuesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Meyers had been a focal point in the Raiders passing attack while appearing in seven of the first eight games, commanding 20.7 percent of the team's overall targets and registering 352 yards on 33 catches. Though Meyers' departure leaves tight end Brock Bowers as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game, Tucker and Las Vegas' other receivers should also benefit from at least slight bumps in opportunity. In the lone game Meyers missed prior to being traded -- a blowout loss to the Chiefs in Week 7 -- starting quarterback Geno Smith attempted just 16 passes while Kansas City dominated the time of possession, but Tucker was targeted on six of those throws (37.5 percent share). It's worth noting, however, that Bowers also missed that game while recovering from a PCL injury.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Gains 38 yards in OT loss
Rotowire
Tucker finished with three receptions on four targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to Jacksonville.
Tucker produced the most yards from any Las Vegas wide receiver Sunday, but he finished a distant third behind TE Brock Bowers (12-127-3) and RB Ashton Jeanty (5-47-1) in receiving. The 24-year-old Tucker has seen his production peter out following his outlier three-score performance back in Week 3, averaging 3.8 receptions and 43.2 yards with no touchdowns in the five games since. Tucker should be viewed as a deep-league option heading into next Sunday's tilt versus the Broncos.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Week 9 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
We have received no indication that Jakobi Meyers is close to returning from his injury, and he remains a constant subject of trade rumors. Even with Brock Bowers back, Tucker should be top two on the Raiders in targets. He is currently WR25 on the season and has been in double digits in four of his seven games this season. If Geno Smith gets on track in the second half, Tucker could be a high-end WR3.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Tucker comes off the Raiders bye in Week 9 as the likely No. 1 receiver in Las Vegas, and he should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues against Jacksonville. Jakobi Meyers went into the Week 8 bye with a knee injury, but he could also be traded ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline. If that happens, then Jack Bech (4 percent rostered) could benefit as well. As for Tucker, even if Meyers stays on the team, he has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in three of his past five games. Tucker should be added in all formats for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB, and Bech is worth adding for 1 percent in deeper leagues.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Lone bright spot for Raiders
Rotowire
Tucker recorded five receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.
Tucker benefited from the absence of Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Brock Bowers (knee), but the performance of the Raiders' offense muted his stat line. Tucker led the team in every receiving stat, though three of his catches went for five yards or fewer. The Raiders will now head into a Week 8 bye, which will likely allow both Meyers and Bowers to get healthy and push Tucker down in priority for targets in the offense when the team retakes the field against the Jaguars in Week 9.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Could benefit sans Meyers, Bowers
Rotowire
Tucker is expected to be a focal point in the Las Vegas passing attack Sunday against the Chiefs due to top wideout Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe) and top tight end Brock Bowers (knee) being inactive for the contest, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Bowers had already missed the Raiders' previous two games, and while Michael Mayer will once again step in as the team's No. 1 tight end and benefit the most from a playing time standpoint, Bowers' absence along with Meyers' will free up more targets for all of Las Vegas' pass catchers. Along with Mayer, Tucker looks to be one of the primary beneficiaries from the vacated target volume, and rookie receivers Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton are also candidates to move into elevated roles. Through the Raiders' first six games, Tucker has produced a 24-356-4 receiving line on 33 targets while adding 29 yards on five carries. According to McFadden, quarterbacks have a 134.6 passer rating when targeting Tucker, good for the fifth-highest mark among all wideouts in the NFL.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
We could see the Raiders throwing a lot in this game as the Chiefs are heavy favorites at home, and Tucker has emerged as the No. 1 receiver for Las Vegas, ahead of Jakobi Meyers. Tucker has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in three of his past four games, and we know he has huge upside after he scored 40.9 PPR points in Week 3 at Washington. I would only use Tucker as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues, but he should continue to be a top target for Geno Smith, especially with Brock Bowers (knee) out in this game.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
The Raiders are enormous underdogs against the Chiefs this week and if that happens you should expect a pass-heavy game plan for Las Vegas. What we don't expect is Brock Bowers back, which should mean a target share north of 20% for Tre Tucker. He has been as good as anyone at turning opportunity into Fantasy points and his deep ball ability makes him a fantastic tournament play.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Leads team with 70 yards
Rotowire
Tucker had five receptions on as many targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.
Tucker finished as the Raiders' leading receiver on a low-volume day from the passing offense. The 24-year-old finished with a receiving line somewhere in between the highs and lows we had seen over his previous five appearances. The overall package has been a net positive from the speedy wideout after producing a 24-356-4 line through six starts. Tucker provides enough upside to warrant a spot in most fantasy lineups ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Kansas City.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Week 6 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Tucker is the definition of a boom/bust WR3. He has 11 or more PPR points in three of his five games and at least six targets in three of his last four games. He leads the Raiders with a 68% catch rate and 10.2 yards per target. He is also the only Raiders wide receiver who has scored a touchdown this season. There is not much floor here, but Tucker does have the upside to win you a week, as he has done once already.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Tucker had four catches for 62 yards on six targets in Week 5 at the Colts with Brock Bowers (knee) out. Since Bowers hurt his knee in Week 1 at New England, Tucker has had three games in four outings with at least six targets. He has the potential to be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues if Bowers is out again in Week 6 at Tennessee, and Tucker is worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Team-high receiving yardage total
Rotowire
Tucker brought in four of six targets for 62 yards in the Raiders' 40-6 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Tucker led the team in receiving yards while checking in tied for second in both receptions and targets. The speedy third-year pro recorded a team-best 33-yard catch in the process, Tucker's fourth reception of 20-plus yards this season. Despite Geno Smith's interception troubles over the first five games of his Raiders tenure, the chemistry between the veteran signal-caller and Tucker seems to be solid heading into a Week 6 home matchup against a beatable Titans defense.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Can't follow up three-TD game
Rotowire
Tucker had two receptions on as many targets for 13 yards while taking two carries for nine yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Tucker crashed back to reality after posting a career game with three touchdowns against the Commanders in Week 3. The versatile wideout remained involved with four touches, but Geno Smith's struggles may have contributed to Tucker's inability to break off a big gain Sunday. With expectations back in check, Tucker should resume his role as a fantasy dart throw when the Raiders visit the Colts next Sunday.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Week 4 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Don't break the bank on Tucker this week, but he is worth an add. Week 3 was his second game in a row with at least eight targets, and he has done very well with them, averaging 10.6 yards per target. He leads the NFL with four receiving touchdowns and is currently a top-five wide receiver in Fantasy points. He won't keep that up, but he could be a boom/bust WR3 in the same range as Jameson Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr. Those guys are valuable, particularly with bye weeks approaching. Also, he faces a Bears defense this week that has already allowed four different wide receivers to score more than 14 PPR Fantasy points.
