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.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Week 4 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Tucker had a breakout game in Week 3 at Washington with eight catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns on nine targets. But he also had eight targets in Week 2 against the Chargers, and he's clearly a big part of the Raiders passing game, along with Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. He has the chance for another solid outing in Week 4 against the Bears, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Tucker is worth adding in all leagues for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Scores career-high three TDs
Rotowire
Tucker caught eight of nine targets for 145 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.
The third-year speedster had a career-best performance, coming into the game with only six career TDs in his first 35 NFL games. Tucker hauled in 10-yard scores in the second and fourth quarter before getting behind the Washington secondary for a 61-yard touchdown from Geno Smith late in the contest as the Raiders tried to mount a comeback. Tucker appears headed for a breakout campaign, posting a 13-211-4 line on 20 targets through three weeks, and he could keep rolling in Week 4 against a Bears defense that has been one of the worst units in the NFL to begin the year.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Targeted eight times
Rotowire
Tucker caught three of eight targets for 12 yards and rushed once for seven yards in Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers.
Tucker was unable to get much going Monday despite being targeted eight times through the air and playing 91 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps. The third-year wideout should continue to have opportunities to produce in an offense that has quarterback Geno Smith averaging nearly 40 pass attempts per game through the first two weeks of the season. With that said, fellow wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, tight end Brock Bowers and rookie running back Ashton Jeanty all figure to have much larger target shares than Tucker most weeks. Tucker's next chance to improve upon this performance will come in a Week 3 matchup against the Commanders.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Three catches in Week 18
Rotowire
Tucker recorded three receptions on four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chargers.
Tucker didn't record a reception or see a target until the Raiders' final offensive possession in garbage time of the fourth quarter. He maintained a key role in the offense for most of the season in terms of snap rate, and he also set career highs in receptions (47), yards (539) and touchdowns (three).

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Makes 18-yard TD reception in win
Rotowire
Tucker caught two of eight targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints. He also rushed once for five yards and returned two punts for 28 yards.
Tucker made up for a measly 25 percent catch rate with an 18-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, but he's now caught two passes or less in five consecutive games. It won't get any easier for Tucker in Week 18 against a stout Chargers defense that figures to play its starters if the Bengals beat the Steelers on Saturday, giving Los Angeles a chance to move up to the fifth seed in the AFC.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Three touches in Week 16 victory
Rotowire
Tucker caught two of four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars, but he also lost eight yards on his only rushing attempt.
Tucker has caught no more than two passes in four consecutive games, despite playing north of 90 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps during each contest within this late-season sample. He remains a big-play threat ahead of a Week 17 matchup against the Saints, but Tucker's inability to earn much volume in a struggling offense is worrisome for his fantasy floor.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Two catches in loss
Rotowire
Tucker caught two of five targets for seven yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers.
Tucker was one of four Raiders pass catchers to earn at least five targets Sunday, but he was by far the least productive. The speedster will remain a boom-or-bust option in Week 15 against a Falcons secondary that just allowed Vikings wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison to combine for a 15-265-5 receiving line on 19 targets, though Tucker may be catching passes from quarterback Desmond Ridder after Aidan O'Connell suffered a bone bruise to his left leg Sunday.
