Tre Tucker Could Be Raiders Top Healthy Receiver In Week 6
2 months agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is the top wide receiver option for newly-named starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell when the Raiders take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. With lead wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) declared out and second-string WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) doubtful, Tucker becomes the Raiders No. 1 wideout for Week 6. This would mean he would command the most defensive attention of the wideouts, which isn't a recipe for success. The Steelers have a pass defense that has excelled against bad offenses. Las Vegas does not have a good offense. It will be tough sledding for the silver and black, who've won just two games, one against the lowly Cleveland Browns and the other off the back of a carry-job by Adams. Tucker is coming off a game with just two catches for 18 yards. Despite the tough matchup, he is a borderline WR3/flex option for Week 6 with all the injuries to the Raiders wide receiver core. He is the WR38 in RotoBaller's Half-PPR Rankings.
