Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on and the action will continue with an AFC matchup with 2026 NFL Draft implications as the Cleveland Browns visit the Las Vegas Raiders at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.

The Raiders were dominated by the Cowboys in a 33-16 loss last Monday night and remain tied with the Browns and Jets for the second-worst record in the AFC. Wide receiver Tre Tucker at least had a nice outing in the loss and he continues to be one of the few positive things the team has going for it at the moment.

Below, we’ll go over Tucker’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 12.

Tucker hauled in four of eight targets for 47 yards and the team’s only touchdown on Monday night, finishing as a top-20 fantasy receiver for the week in all scoring formats. That score came in the fourth quarter with the game already well out of reach and hey, fantasy championships have been won on the backs of players who were able to eat during garbage time.

The third-year receiver still leads the team in receiving heading into Week 12, although that might change soon with Brock Bowers now a few weeks removed from his knee injury. He’s been able to have a solid season despite having just a 17.9% target share, so he’s taking full advantage of the opportunities coming his way.

Start. The Browns have had one of the best defenses in the entire league this season, but have been a bit vulnerable against opposing WR1’s, yielding an average of 50.4 receiving yards per game. I expect Geno Smith to keep leaning on Tucker this afternoon and he may even cross the goal line again for his sixth touchdown of the year.
