Cockcroft pegged Tre Tucker as a post-draft helium play after the speedster delivered three games of 15+ fantasy points and drew at least a 20 percent target share four times in 2024. In the first preseason series Tucker hauled in a 15-yard pass before sitting with the rest of the starters, a subtle but clear sign the new Pete Carroll/Geno Smith brain trust views him as part of the first team. Smith has praised Tucker’s route refinement, and Cockcroft expects the vertical slot to see an expanded role that could vault him into weekly flex consideration, particularly in leagues that award bonuses for long touchdowns.
