BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR38
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker was a popular waiver wire stash this week, with Davante Adams requesting a trade on Monday. The superstar wide receiver won’t play for the second consecutive game because of a hamstring injury, giving Tucker another chance to have a significant role on offense.
The second-year receiver had only five targets and 5.5 half-point PPR fantasy points over the first two weeks. However, he has averaged six receptions on 7.5 targets for 68.5 receiving yards and 16 fantasy points per game, scoring a touchdown in both contests.

Tucker has played well lately, making him a solid flex option in deeper leagues despite the awful Week 5 matchup. The Denver Broncos have held wide receivers to only 16.7 fantasy points per game, the third-fewest in the NFL. Furthermore, they have given up only one receiving touchdown to wide receivers in 2024.
While he isn’t the most appealing streaming option this week, Tucker could have top-36 value for the rest of the season if Adams gets traded.
