• Raiders' Tre Tucker: Two receptions in season opener

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Tucker caught two passes for 22 yards on three targets in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers. He also returned two punts for 28 yards. Playing 47 of 60 offensive snaps, Tucker was the clear No. 3 option at wide receiver behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers as the Raiders trailed for a majority of the second half, and rookie tight end Brock Bowers also seems ahead of him in the pecking order for targets. A similar game script could be employed in Week 2 against the Ravens, once again making Tucker a boom-or-bust candidate given his speed and big-play ability. Pedestrian quarterbacking play from Gardner Minshew will hold back the Raiders offense, however.

• Raiders' Tre Tucker: Big gains Saturday

  08/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tucker caught two of four targets for 73 yards in Saturday's 24-23 preseason loss to the Vikings. He also added 23 yards on one punt return. Davante Adams got the night off, leaving Jakobi Meyers and Tucker as the Raiders' starting wideouts, and the latter wound up leading the team in receiving yards thanks to gains of 29 and 44 yards on successive second-quarter touchdown drives with Gardner Minshew under center. Tucker has drawn plenty of praise from the coaching staff in camp, and the 2023 third-round pick could be headed for a breakout campaign if he can earn enough volume in a passing game that also has to find targets for tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer.

• Raiders' Tre Tucker: Flashes big-play ability as rookie

  01/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tucker caught all five of his targets for a season-high 79 yards in the Raiders' Week 18 win over the Broncos, ultimately finishing the 2023 campaign with 19 receptions for 331 yards and two touchdowns on 34 targets in 16 games. He also rushed 10 times for 77 yards. Tucker was a healthy scratch in the Raiders' season opener despite being selected with the 100th overall pick in last April's draft, but the rookie took his first NFL touch for 34 yards on a jet sweep against the Bills in Week 2, and he eventually recorded six receptions of 20-plus yards throughout the team's final 12 games. Tucker became the preferred No. 3 option at wide receiver behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers as the season wore on, beating out Hunter Renfrow for playing time down the stretch. Tucker's speed and big-play ability are evident heading into 2024, but more competent quarterback play also could arrive in Las Vegas this offseason.

• Raiders' Tre Tucker: Two touches Monday

  12/26/2023 • By RotoWire

  Tucker caught his only target for a loss of four yards in Monday's 20-14 win over the Chiefs. He also rushed once for five yards. Tucker's regression after posting a 3-59-2 line against the Chargers in Week 15 came as no surprise, but the rookie still managed to play twice as many offensive snaps (22) as veteran Hunter Renfrow (11) on Christmas Day. A similar split behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers is likely against the Colts in Week 17, as the Raiders continue developing Tucker.

• Raiders' Tre Tucker: Notches first two NFL touchdowns

  12/15/2023 • By RotoWire

  Tucker caught three of four targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers. He also lost two yards on his only rushing attempt. Tucker contributed to the Raiders' blowout victory by catching a pair of 20-plus yard touchdown passes in the first half, which also marked his first two NFL scores. The rookie logged just three offensive snaps against Minnesota in Week 14, but he was on the field for 29 plays Thursday compared to 27 for fellow wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. However, it's unlikely that a Week 16 matchup versus the Chiefs involves a similar game script.
