Tre Tucker start or sit: Week 13 fantasy football advice

The 2-9 Las Vegas Raiders head across state lines to take on the 7-4 Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday, as 9.5-point underdogs. It’s been a tough go for the Raiders under Pete Carrol and QB Geno Smith this year and things just keep getting worse. There are fantasy viable players on the Raiders, with tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty both startable, but after those two, it becomes tough on a team that ranks last in points per game and 30th in yards per game this season.

Below, we’ll go over Tre Tucker’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 13.

Fantasy Football analysis: Raiders, WR, Tre Tucker

With Jakobi Meyers shipped off to Jacksonville, Tre Tucker has taken over WR1 duties. And of late, that’s helped him to 18 targets over the last two games. He’s brought in seven of those for 75 yards and a touchdown, his first since his three touchdown game in Week 3.

The Chargers rank third-best in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers and have allowed just one receiver to top 100 yards this year. They’ve also given up just six receiving touchdowns to wide receivers on the season, tying them for second best in the league. But, it is tough to not start a receiver who has 18 targets in his last two games, which included a score.

As it is with most of these wide receivers ranked in the Top 40, much depends on your roster and lineup options. I’d start Tucker as a WR4/Flex where needed, but I’m not forcing him into my lineups this week.
