WR Tre Tucker was the star of Week 6, catching 5 of 7 targets for 97 yards and 2 TDs. That made him the WR2 on the week. The Raiders have nearly abandoned 11 personnel, leaving Tucker and Jalen Nailor as the only two WRs on most plays.

Tucker has been locked in at Z, with Nailor at X and Jack Bech (IR) out of the slot. Nailor’s return from a concussion didn’t cut into Tucker’s role. Nailor played 76% of 12-personnel snaps but caught just 1 pass for 9 yards. Tucker averaged 19.4 yards per catch and 13.9 yards per target, the kind of efficiency that’s hard to repeat. Dont’e Thornton Jr. practiced fully all week and could return from IR, which would add another body to the WR rotation.
It was a massive jump from Week 5, when Tucker caught 4 of 5 targets for 41 yards and lost 6 yards on two carries (WR46). He has shown this ceiling before with two 40-plus-yard catches in Week 2. However, his deep-threat role leaves a low floor in the weeks he doesn’t hit a big play.
The Rams allow the 23rd-most adjusted PPR points to WRs and ranked 10th in pass defense power heading into Week 6. The Jets (26th-most) and 49ers (27th-most) are even stingier to WRs, with San Francisco ranked seventh in pass defense power. Tucker is a boom-or-bust WR4 for this stretch.
