• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Vultures another TD opportunity

  6H ago • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed four times for three yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. Tucker logged four carries and netted single-digit rushing yardage for the second straight game, but he got into the end zone for a third consecutive contest via a one-yard run with under seven minutes remaining in the third quarter. Tucker's compact 5-foot-10, 210-pound frame appears to have carved him out his current red-zone role, but he'll likely remain a TD-dependent fantasy option in a Week 17 road matchup against the Dolphins.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Sleeper RBs

  2D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  It's risky to trust Tucker as even a flex option in Week 16 in the majority of leagues, but he could find the end zone for the third game in a row if Tampa Bay continues to use him as a goal-line option in tandem with Bucky Irving. He hasn't done much besides score in those two outings against New Orleans and Atlanta with a combined 11 carries for 38 yards and no targets, but Tucker could help Fantasy managers in a desperate situation in deeper leagues. The Panthers are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and they have allowed six rushing touchdowns to running backs in their past four games.

The Panthers are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and they have allowed six rushing touchdowns to running backs in their past four games. I expect Irving to dominate in this matchup, and he scored at least 23 PPR points in each of his two games against Carolina last year. But Tucker could also help if he gets back into the end zone in Week 16.

  We'll see if Tampa Bay continues to use Tucker as a goal-line option in tandem with Bucky Irving, but Tucker has scored a touchdown in each of his past two games against New Orleans and Atlanta. He hasn't done much besides score in those two outings with a combined 11 carries for 38 yards and no targets, but Tucker could help Fantasy managers in a desperate situation in deeper leagues in Week 16 at Carolina.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Gets into end zone Thursday

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed four times for seven yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night. He also returned two kickoffs for 42 yards. Tucker logged three more touches than Rachaad White behind Bucky Irving, who lapped the Buccaneers' running backs with 16 carries. The third-year back was extremely inefficient in a limited sample, but Tucker did manage to score for the second straight game on a one-yard run to cap off an 11-play drive late in the first quarter. The usage of Tucker and White behind Irving remains hard to predict on a game-to-game basis, capping the upside of both reserve backs heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 21.
