The Las Vegas Raiders (1-4) will host the Tennessee Titans (1-4) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Tre Tucker.
Is Tre Tucker Playing in Week 6?
Tucker is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Raiders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tre Tucker in Week 6?
The best way to score fantasy points, especially on these bad teams, is to be on the field and Tre Tucker (91.8% snap share) certainly checks that box.
We continue to see Vegas explore how to best use this big-play threat and, on the surface, that’s good to see. In the blowout at the hands of the Colts last week, Tucker notched his fifth carry in as many weeks while seeing multiple targets 20+ yards down field in addition to multiple five or fewer yards from the line of scrimmage.
The six targets he saw over the weekend is about what we can bank on, and I’m just not confident that six looks from Geno Smith playing at this level is enough to matter.
This is a strong one-on-one matchup, but could this be a rare instance where game script works away from Tucker? I’ll co-sign the idea of rostering him for depth, but I’m not yet tempted to look this direction to fill my flex in any role.
