Tre Tucker Surprises with a WR1 Week

Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 8 of 9 targets for 145 yards and 3 TDs. He had a TD 10-yard TD in the second quarter before the game got out of hand. Garbage time TDs of 10 and 61 yards while the game was out of reach propped up his stat line. Even so, he should be a hot waiver commodity this week.

Tucker played a full complement of snaps, on the field for 62 of the Raiders’ 66 snaps. That tied Jakobi Meyers for the most among Raiders WRs.

Tucker looks to be the primary deep threat for the team, with rookie Dont’e Thornton only playing 39 snaps.

Obviously, Tucker won’t approach this stat line in most weeks, but the Raiders are susceptible to blowouts (and garbage time receiving yardage).

He is worth stashing on a roster with upcoming bye weeks.

The Raiders have the Bears next wee,k who won’t be at full strength in their secondary.
