BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker hasn't been a strong fantasy option in recent weeks. The second-year playmaker has totaled under eight PPR fantasy points in four straight games while catching only seven passes for 80 yards during that span. Tucker has also seen three targets or less in two of the past three contests.
As a result, Tucker should only be started in deeper leagues this weekend against the Bengals. Cincinnati ranks middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers this season, so this is a neutral matchup for the 23-year-old wideout.
#Raiders first-read target shares in 3 games with Jakobi Meyers and without Davante Adams (per @FantasyPtsData) ...
Jakobi Meyers: 32.8% 👀
Brock Bowers: 23.4%
Tre Tucker: 21.9%— Jared Smola (@SmolaDS) October 30, 2024
Still, he hasn't done much over the past few weeks, making him a risky play in 16-plus team leagues this weekend. There are likely better flex options than Tucker in Week 9. He has finished outside the top 40 at the wide receiver position in four straight games.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
