Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Vultures another TD opportunity
Sean Tucker rushed four times for three yards and a touchdown in the Tampa Bay 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: Gets into end zone Thursday
Sean Tucker rushed four times for seven yards and a touchdown in the Tampa Bay 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.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Gets into end zone in loss
Sean Tucker rushed seven times for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.Tucker was third in rush attempts behind Bucky Irving (15 carries) and Rachaad White (11 carries), but the third-year back was the only one of the three to get into the end zone on the ground via a one-yard run just before the midway point of the third quarter. Tucker's boost in playing time and opportunity was encouraging, considering he'd been held to no gain on just two rush attempts against the Cardinals in Week 13. Tucker will aim to maximize whatever touches he sees in a favorable Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Disappears in Week 13 win
Sean Tucker rushed twice for no gain and wasn't targeted in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.Tucker and Rachaad White each logged just two carries in the return of Bucky Irving from a seven-game absence, which could be a sign of what's to come down the stretch of the season. Tucker had logged double-digit carries in three of the previous four games with Irving sidelined and proved worthy of additional work, but it remains to be seen how many touches behind Irving will be left over for Tucker and White week to week moving forward.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Leads Tampa Bay's backfield
Sean Tucker rushed the ball 12 times for 42 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams. He added one reception on two targets for four yards.Bucky Irving (shoulder) remained inactive, leaving Tucker and Rachaad White to split work out of Tampa Bay's backfield. Tucker led the way with 13 touches as compared to eight for White, though White was surprisingly the more efficient back. Tucker did manage decent gains of seven and nine yards early in the game, but he couldn't come close to replicating his impressive Week 11 showing. Reports suggest that Irving has a chance to return in Week 13 against Arizona, which would send Tucker back to a reserve role.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Could lead Irving-less RB room
Sean Tucker is poised to play a significant role Sunday against the Rams, as Scott Smith of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' official site reports that Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) won't play.Irving has been sidelined since Week 4. Rachaad White led Tampa Bay's backfield for the majority of Irving's absence, but Tucker has pulled ahead of White in recent weeks, and Tucker cemented his spot as the top fill-in option with 140 scrimmage yards and three total touchdowns on 21 touches in Week 11 against the Bills. Replicating that production will be difficult Sunday against the Rams' stout defense, but Tucker's likely to lead Tampa Bay's backfield in touches, with White remaining involved to some extent.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Three total TDs in loss
Sean Tucker rushed 19 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for 34 yards and another score in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 44-32 loss to the Bills on Sunday.Rumblings of a bigger role for Tucker had been present leading up to game day, and those proved to be accurate. The explosive third-year back logged nine more carries than backfield mate Rachaad White, and he more than doubled up the latter in rushing yards while recording 43- and six-yard touchdown runs before adding a 28-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter. Tucker had a similar breakout performance against the Saints last season, but Sunday marked an extension of what is now a three-game streak of elevated participation and production for him. If Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) remains sidelined Week 12 on the road against the Rams, Tucker will be in line to serve as the clear lead back once again.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Set to split with White vs. Bills
Sean Tucker is likely to maintain an expanded role Sunday against the Bills, as Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports that Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) has been ruled out.Tucker was Tampa Bay's most effective running back in the team's Week 10 loss to the Patriots, though he was out-touched 15-10 by Rachaad White. They likely will operate in a platoon Sunday against a Bills defense that's giving up 5.4 yards per carry to running backs while Irving sits out a sixth consecutive game.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Outgains White in Week 10 loss
Sean Tucker rushed nine times for 53 yards and brought in one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.Tucker finished with a team-high rushing yardage total, gaining 15 more yards than backfield mate Rachaad White on one fewer carry. Tucker notably has 21 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown over the last two games, compared to 73 yards on 23 carries for White in the same span. While the latter remains much more involved in the passing game, Tucker could continue to eat into White's workload on the ground in a Week 11 road matchup against a highly vulnerable Bills run defense, assuming Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) remains sidelined.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Elevates play against New Orleans
Sean Tucker took 12 carries for 42 yards and a touchdown without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 23-3 win over the Saints.Tucker saw a nearly even split in carries with fill-in starter Rachaad White (13-35-0), but it was the latter who produced the favorable fantasy score this time around. The 23-year-old Tucker was limited to just two touches in last week's loss to Detroit, so Sunday's outburst comes as a pleasant surprise for those in deeper formats who rolled the dice on Tampa Bay's third-string RB. Tucker has scored twice in the four games sans starter Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder), but he managed just seven total rushing yards in the two contests he failed to hit pay dirt. It probably isn't wise to add Tucker following Sunday's strong showing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a bye in Week 9 coupled with the potential for Irving to return to the lineup against the Patriots on Nov. 9.
