Tre Tucker start or sit: Week 7 fantasy football advice

The 2-4 Las Vegas Raiders will head to Kansas City to take on the 3-3 Chiefs as 12.5-point underdogs. That’s a hefty amount of points, and when you see how each team has been playing lately, it’s hard to disagree too strongly with the odds.

The Raiders will also be without a key offensive piece, as Brock Bowers continues to rehab his knee injury after trying to play through it earlier in the season. Jakobi Meyers is also hurting and officially questionable after getting in a limited practice on Friday. His status will be important to how we treat projections for Tre Tucker this week.

Below, we’ll go over Tre Tucker’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 7.

Tucker has already shown he can put up massive numbers in a game, but we also know he can have big duds for fantasy. He has seen a bit of an uptick over the last two games, with 62 and 70 yards receiving on four and five receptions. That likely is helped by Bowers’ absence.

This week they take on a good Chiefs pass defense, but it is a big game and the Raiders should be primed to play under Pete Carroll. Meyers’ injury, even if he plays, could slow him down and we know Tucker got the WR1 duties in practice this week. It might not be pretty, but Tucker’s speed and likely usage in this game should push him into a flex start this week.
