News: 1 day agoTucker secured all three targets for 25 yards in the Raiders' 18-12 preseason loss to the 49ers on Thursday.

Spin: Tucker led the Raiders in receptions and receiving yards on a night when Las Vegas netted just 138 passing yards overall. Tucker, Las Vegas' presumptive No. 1 receiver to open the regular season, played on the first two drives and recorded 14- and eight-yard grabs on passes from Kirk Cousins during back-to-back plays on the opening possession. Tucker finishes the preseason with a 5-46-0 line on five targets over two games, and he'll now set his sights on the Dolphins for a Week 1 home matchup on Sunday, Sept. 13.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: A team's No. 1 wide receiver is often a household name, but that's certainly not the case for the underrated Tucker, Las Vegas' top wideout for most of the 2025 season. Tucker has finished in the top 10 among wide receivers in both snaps and routes each of the last two seasons and ranked just outside of the top 30 in targets, catches, yards and touchdowns in 2025. Tucker, who also contributes as rusher, has yet to deliver a top-35 fantasy campaign while working in the Raiders' struggling offenses and would need a terrific rookie season from Fernando Mendoza to get there in 2026. That's a long shot for the undersized receiver, so he's only worth a late flier.
