This is easily the most important waiver of the season, especially at the wide receiver position.

0:04.4

And that's why in this video, we're going to be breaking down these seven wide receivers that you need to know and try and get on the waivers before your friends do. Now let's get into it with one wide receiver who I think a lot of people are just going to overlook. And that man's name is Trey Tucker of the Las Vegas Raiders. And look, don't get me wrong. based on what he did in week three if you're not familiar 140 yards three touchdowns people won't

0:21.8

overlook that but they'll just be like eh this is just like a one week thing i mean Don't get me wrong. Based on what he did in week three, if you're not familiar, 140 yards, three touchdowns.

0:21.3

People won't overlook that, but they'll just be like, eh, this is just like a one week thing. I mean, he's Trey Tucker for after all. But honestly, we have now three weeks of him playing with a new quarterback in Gino Smith and a new coaching staff out there of looking good. Trey Tucker's been highly involved. I mean, let's get into it. To start the season off, this dude had 54 yards in a touchdown, right?

0:38.0

In his first ever game with Gino Smith, he was a top 24 wide receiver, Trey Tucker. Then last week, okay, he only has three catches, but you know what the important thing was here? He had eight targets. For the second straight week now, including week three, he has nine targets. So back-to-back weeks of at least eight targets. He currently has on the season for receiving

0:55.0

touchdowns. You know how many passing touchdowns Gino Smith has this year? Obviously, I don't think these weeks of 41 fantasy points are going to continue, but when you have a guy going out there, if we look at his game logs right now, playing 91% of the snaps, 91% this past week. It's not up yet, but he played 97% of the snaps according to PFF.

1:11.2

This is an every down player who I get Jacobi Myers there.

1:14.3

I get it Brock back. This past week, it's not up yet, but he played 97% of the snaps according to PFF.

1:11.2

This isn't every down player who I get Jacoby Myers there.

1:14.2

I get Brock Bowers, who seems banged up is there, but we have to start to take this seriously. Normally, if I saw a guy like Trey Tucker catch eight balls for 145 yards and three touchdowns, I'd be like, yeah, that happens. like once, twice, maybe three times a year,

1:25.4

these random wide receivers pop off

1:27.2

on not that much usage and they come through.

1:29.1

But he just saw a lot of usage.

1:30.3

And the week before that, he saw eight targets. like once, twice, maybe three times a year, these random wide receivers pop off on not that much usage

1:28.4

and they come through. But he just saw a lot of usage. And the week before that, he saw eight targets. And the week before that, he scored a touchdown for this team. Now, I'm sure he's going to be picked up in a lot of leagues, if not all leagues, because he was literally the number one scorer across all positions. He outscored Jonathan Taylor. He outscored Caleb Williams, who had four touchdown passes this past week, right?

1:43.4

He outscored everybody according to ESPN fantasy.

1:46.1

And look, there's a lot of reasons to like him. Jacoby Myers is still the number one receiver on this team. For now, I will say he is for now based on everything that we know. He ran 100% of the routes. Only saw 16% of the targets. That was his lowest target share. I believe if we pull this up right now, we can look at JJ Zacharison's tweet here.

2:01.6

It was his lowest target share under 15% for the first time since week 15 of 2024. So we're talking like six, seven games. Obviously an outlier for Jacoby Myers, who had a solid first two games. He started off week three with a 45-yard catch on the first drive. It looked like he was going to go well, and then he kind of went away. only had like two catches the rest of the game but i'm very impressed by tray tucker's 36

2:18.9

target share on 97% of the route run and i just want to emphasize this one more time this is not like this came out of nowhere randomly he's been building for three weeks now with a brand new quarterback that quarterback gino smith can build chemistries with new wide receivers that we weren't expecting him to coming into the year. And as of right now, it looks like Trey Tucker is actually going to be one of those guys, which is pretty crazy. He's just out there a ton right now. He has a real role in this offense. If I had to say, rest of season right now, obviously I still want Jacoby Myers. We've just seen it for way longer. We've seen it for three to four years of him being productive, including the first two and a half weeks of this year. I still want Jacoby Myers over, over Trey Tucker,

3:09.9

but there's definitely something going on with Brock Bowers. He's injured. Michael Mayer got hurt this past week. And if you're talking about the other guys on this team, people thought there was going to be some hype for Deonté Thornton. He looked good in OTAs in mini camp and training camp. Jack Bess, when he was drafted in the second round, there's a lot of hype for him. Trey Tucker's saying, no, I'm the veteran here. Hold my beer and he's going out there and he's looking great right now. And Gino Smith has targeted him 17 times the past two weeks. He clearly trusts him. I don't know what's going to happen in week four, week five, beyond that. But for right now, he's somebody that I want to at least stash on my bench and see what happens. You're obviously not going to be able to start him every single week.

3:23.2

You probably can't even start him in week four, but once the buy weeks in week five and
