Raiders-Broncos Thursday Night Football Week 10 Preview: Odds, lines, best betsTre Tucker is the Raiders' new top wide receiver after the team traded Jakobi Meyers at the deadline, paving the way for Tucker to go over his receptions line.
Tre Tucker caught 2-of-3 targets for 28 yards in the Raiders' Week 10 loss to the Broncos.Tucker had a touchdown taken off the board when Dont'e Thornton was called for offensive pass interference. The wideout was hardly involved on a day where the Raiders mustered all of 188 total yards against the stout Denver defense. Tucker and the Las Vegas passing game will get a chance to get going against the Cowboys in Week 11.
Jaguars acquired WR Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders in exchange for fourth and sixth-round picks.Meyers finally finds his way out of Vegas four months after requesting a trade to escape Chip Kelly's offensive scheme. Meyers never gelled with Geno Smith and hardly saw an increase in usage during Brock Bowers' extended injury absence. Meyers managed 32 catches for 352 yards and zero touchdowns over seven games with the Raiders this season. Jacksonville acquiring Meyers at the trade deadline could mean the team is anticipating a worst-case scenario for Brian Thomas, who suffered a serious ankle injury in Week 9 against the Raiders. The team is already without Travis Hunter, who last week was placed on IR with a knee injury. Meyers' fantasy prospects likely get a boost in Jacksonville if Thomas is sidelined for a while. Meanwhile, Tre Tucker becomes the de facto WR1 in Vegas, though Bowers should continue dominating targets as he did in Week 9. The Raiders could see what they have in Jack Bech as well.
Broncos CB Riley Moss and S Brandon Jones were listed at "DNP" on Monday's estimated injury report.The team did not hold a practice on Monday ahead of their Week 10 meeting with the Raiders on Thursday Night Football, but the fact two additional members of the secondary appeared on the injury report as non-participants is concerning considering the absence of Pat Surtain. Absences from either could improve the schematic matchups for Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, with tight end Brock Bowers expected to see a good deal of coverage from standout safety Talanoa Hufanga.
