Tre Tucker Set to Face Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13 Despite Recent Injury Concerns

<p)Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is gearing up to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13, despite recent concerns over a hip injury. Tucker was cleared from the team’s injury report after logging a limited practice, ensuring his availability for the upcoming game.

Tucker will be facing a Kansas City Chiefs defense that ranks 19th in the NFL in terms of passing yards allowed, with an average of 215.5 yards per game. This could present an opportunity for Tucker, who has averaged 33.4 yards receiving per contest this season. He has accumulated 367 yards on 35 catches and scored one touchdown, with a target share of 13.5% of his team’s passing attempts.

In his previous encounters with the Chiefs since 2021, Tucker has averaged 7.3 receiving yards per game, although he has not had a standout performance against them recently. In Week 8 of this season, Tucker caught 2 of 3 targets for 26 yards against the Chiefs.

Despite his clearance to play, Tucker’s fantasy value remains somewhat limited due to the distribution of targets within the Raiders’ offense. The absence of Davante Adams has not significantly boosted Tucker’s target share, which has kept his fantasy impact relatively modest.

The game against the Chiefs is scheduled to start at 3:00 PM ET on Friday, and it will be an important matchup for both teams as they navigate the latter part of the NFL season.
