• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Efficient on three carries Sunday

  5D 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: Limited to kickoff returns in win

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Tucker returned two kickoffs for 44 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday. With Bucky Irving (hip) logging a career-high 25 carries and Rachaad White tacking on another 11, there was no room for Tucker in the ground game for only the second time since Week 5. In fact, Tucker didn't log any snaps on offense, with all 15 of his plays coming on special teams. Considering Irving has proven amply capable of handling a true workhorse role with efficacy and the fact White is always in line for his share of carries, Tucker doesn't have any tangible fantasy prospects heading into a Week 14 home matchup against the Raiders.

• Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Scores short TD in win

  19D 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: Plays complementary role Monday

  10/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tucker rushed five times for 29 yards and brought in one of two targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday. Head coach Todd Bowles had pledged to afford all three of his talented running backs some work Monday night, and he made good on it by even getting Tucker involved in a modest complementary role. The second-year back was solid with his limited opportunities, but backfield mates Rachaad White and Bucky Irving made bigger marks with two receiving touchdowns and a rushing score, respectively. Tucker's workload is the least reliable of the running back room, but he should be able to garner snaps again in a Week 8 home matchup against the Falcons.
