• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Sees seven carries in win

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed seven times for 17 yards and returned one kickoff for 37 yards in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday. The Buccaneers surprisingly took control of the game and hung 40 points on a normally stout Chargers defense, which helped lead to a run-centric second half. That allowed Tucker to get in on the fun, as he logged the second-highest carry total of his career. While Tucker couldn't do much with the opportunity, he did provide a chunk gain on his one kickoff return and now is averaging 26.8 yards on his 12 opportunities in that capacity this season. Tucker will remain a firm No. 3 option in the backfield when the Bucs travel to Dallas for a very favorable Week 16 road matchup Sunday night.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Efficient on three carries Sunday

  9D ago • 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

  23D ago • 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.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Logs four touches in loss

  11/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed three times for 11 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City on Monday. Tucker and backfield mate Rachaad White saw just three carries apiece to Bucky Irving's seven. Tucker logged just seven snaps overall (13 percent) from scrimmage, and with both White and Irving available, the second-year back's role figures to remain modest as the Buccaneers face off with the 49ers at home in Week 10.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Forces way into committee

  10/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coach Todd Bowles said Thursday that Tucker, Bucky Irving and Rachaad White (foot) will all get playing time in a "hot hand" backfield, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Tucker had been the low man on the totem pole, with only nine snaps on offense and three touches all season before his 192-yard, two-TD explosion in Sunday's 51-27 win over the Saints. In the first half, Bucky Irving took 74 percent of snaps and seven of the 10 RB opportunities, but it was Tucker who had superior production with his three touches being a a 36-yard receiving TD, a 15-yard reception and an 11-yard carry. Tucker then got 13 carries and another target in the second half, including six carries for 64 yards and a TD on the final drive in garbage time. His role grew throughout the game even if the final drive is ignored, and he seemingly did enough to keep a role moving forward. Tucker's Week 7 value, along with Irving's, partially depends on whether White is ready for Monday's game against Baltimore.
