Is Tre Tucker playing tonight? How Jakobi Meyers trade impacts Raiders' WR depth chart

The Las Vegas Raiders didn't have a lot of time to figure things out.

They traded Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday. And on Thursday night, they're taking on the Denver Broncos to open Week 10.

They didn't bring in any new wide receivers, so there's no one who has to learn the playbook or anything.

But there's a whole room of wideouts who have to figure out how they fit in without Meyers taking part anymore.

And their new leader? The diminutive Tre Tucker.

Is Tre Tucker playing tonight?

The good news for the Raiders is that Tucker is healthy and available to play on Thursday Night Football.

He should be on the field for pretty much every play, getting both specialty looks and also just throws in the flow of the offense.

Whether his actual usage goes up or not without Meyers is to be determined. Most betting websites have Tucker projected at about 50 yards against the Broncos.

Raiders WR depth chart

Without Meyers, the depth chart looks something like this:

Tre Tucker

Tyler Lockett

Jack Bech

Dont'e Thornton

Lockett and Bech may have some interchanging depending on formation and on whether the Raiders want to go with the veteran or the rookie.
