From the episode

Trey Tucker transformed from wide receiver 73 in week one... up to wide receiver six this past week... seven of his eight targets were nine plus yards down the field, deep post touchdown versus two high safeties... my comparison in fantasy in real life would just be 2024 Rashid Shahid on the Saints... It's not going to be consistent, but he'll have weeks where he has eight or nine targets and a hundred yards.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Tucker jumped WR73 to WR6 on downfield shift; 7 of 8 targets 9+ yards; high-variance priority add.

Tucker transformed from WR73 in Week 1 to WR6 in Week 2 after Clint Kubiak's offense shifted to aggressive downfield play-calling. Seven of his eight targets were 9+ yards downfield, and he scored a deep post touchdown versus two-high safeties despite playing only 37 of 63 snaps (25 of 33 dropbacks). The source compares him to 2024 Rashid Shaheed on the Saints—high variance, inconsistent, but capable of 8–9 targets and 100 yards in boom weeks. The source emphasizes Tucker is the only receiver on this offense with downfield receiving capability and should be a priority add over low-ceiling, inconsistent WRs drafted later.
