• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Finishes season quietly

  01/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Tucker, who was active but did not log any snaps in Sunday night's 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders, finished the 2024 regular season with 50 carries for 308 yards and two touchdowns, a 9-109-1 line on 12 targets, 410 kickoff-return yards and one fumble, which remained with Tampa Bay, across 17 games. The second-year running back established new career-high figures across the board, with the highlight of his season coming in a Week 6 win over the Saints where he posted 14 carries for 136 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 56 yards and another score. Tucker continued to see sporadic opportunities throughout the season and flashed plenty of his trademark explosiveness, and he could be set to see another increase in opportunity in his 2025 contract year, perhaps at the occasional expense of Rachaad White behind starter Bucky Irving.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Two carries in Week 18 win

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed twice for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. Tucker was in on only five snaps from scrimmage during the season-ending win, but he saw action on 40 percent of those plays and gained 14 of his yards on one carry. Rachaad White surprisingly did not see any touches over 18 snaps as the No. 2 back Sunday, but Tucker still should remain a clear third in the backfield pecking order in Sunday night's wild-card matchup against the Commanders.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Tallies 44 total yards in rout

  12/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed eight times for 39 yards and secured his sole target for five yards in the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. The backup running back hadn't logged any snaps from scrimmage in Week 16 against the Cowboys, but Tucker saw some nice run with the Buccaneers comfortably ahead in the second half Sunday. The second-year back's carry total tied for the second highest of his career, and Tucker could be in line for more opportunities on offense versus a Saints team he compiled a career-high 136 rushing yards against back in Week 5 during a Week 18 home rematch the Bucs could well dominate.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Efficient on three carries Sunday

  12/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed three times for 47 yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 25 yards. Tucker stepped into the No. 2 role once Bucky Irving exited the game with a back injury, and the second-year back responded with a game-long 34-yard run that showcased his electric speed. Tucker saw action on only 11 snaps (18 percent) from scrimmage, but with Irving's status for Week 15 against the Chargers currently uncertain, the former could be headed toward a bigger role behind Rachaad White.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Scores short TD in win

  11/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed four times for three yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay and returned one kickoff for six yards. Tucker was able to get into the end zone for the first time since Week 6 on a one-yard run in the first quarter, parlaying a sparse five-snap allotment into a serviceable fantasy outing. However, Tucker remains a distant third in the backfield pecking order behind Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, and that arrangement should persist in a Week 13 road matchup against the Panthers.
