Tucker's Garbage Time Glory: Fantasy Fire in Week 12
23 Nov
Summary
- Tre Tucker scored in garbage time during the Raiders' Week 12 loss.
- He remains the team's leading receiver despite a low target share.
- Tucker is expected to be leaned on against the Browns' vulnerable WR defense.
In the Raiders' Week 12 matchup against the Browns, wide receiver Tre Tucker emerged as a notable fantasy option. Despite the team's dominant loss to the Cowboys, Tucker managed to score a touchdown in the fourth quarter, finishing as a top-20 receiver for the week.
He currently leads the Raiders in receiving yards, a significant achievement given his modest 17.9% target share. This indicates his efficiency in capitalizing on the opportunities he receives, making him a player to watch.
Fantasy managers might consider starting Tucker in Week 12. Although the Browns boast a strong defense, they have allowed an average of 50.4 receiving yards per game to opposing wide receivers. Projections suggest quarterback Geno Smith will continue to target Tucker heavily, potentially leading to another touchdown.
