And, frankly, he hasn't produced nearly as much as he should. Yes, the third-round pick in 2023 had had his moment and he does possess game-breaking speed, but he has struggled to produce on a consistent basis despite playing so much.
In fact, it kind of staggering. Check out this recent post on X by DraftKings Sportsbook. It showed all the offensive position snap leaders in the 2025 NFL season. Tucker led all wide receivers by playing 94.9 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps.

Tucker had just 57 catches for 696 yards last season. Tucker was tied for 54th in receptions and 48th in yardage despite playing more percentage snaps than any other wide receiver.
One can make excuses for Tucker because he got poor quarterback play. But the fact is he either must show massive production improvement or the Raiders need to find a starting replacement for him. That is the likely and smart route.
We're not saying Tucker shouldn't have a role, but production facts tell the story.
