The full read
Tre Tucker caught 4 of 8 targets for 55 yards against the 49ers, and the misses cost the Raiders: he was the intended receiver on all three of Kirk Cousins's interceptions, and his targets were worth -9.2 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
The first came on the opening snap of the second half, down 21-10 at the Las Vegas 30. Cousins lost the ball, recovered it at the 23 and threw for Tucker, and Jaden Dugger intercepted and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown, -8.1 EPA and 9.1 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Down 35-17 in the fourth, second and 13 at the San Francisco 13, a deep throw for him ended in Renardo Green's interception in the end zone, -4.9 EPA, and on fourth and 11 Malik Mustapha picked off a deep ball for him at the 27.
The catches moved the ball. His 14-yarder on third and 6 at the San Francisco 25 in the second quarter reached the 11 and set up the Raiders' first touchdown, +1.8 EPA, and his 18-yard catch deep left in the third reached the 22, +1.2 EPA, two snaps before Michael Mayer's fumble at the 1.
Through Week 8 he had 29 catches on 48 targets for 474 yards, 4 touchdowns and +20.7 EPA, +0.43 a target; here it was -1.16. He had been targeted once at the Jets.
