Sean Tucker's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker moved into the No. 2 role in the backfield after Bucky Irving (hip, back) went down early during last week's game. Rachaad White took over as the lead back and looked great with a two-score performance. However, Tucker didn't do much as he rushed three times for 47 yards and finished with zero receptions on two targets. There is a chance that Irving does sit in Week 15, which would mean Tucker moves into the No. 2 role once again. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited about that considering Tucker only saw three rushing attempts last week. Tucker is too risky of a streaming choice to start in important fantasy games this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker hasn't seen much of the field since his breakout 136-yard performance in Week 6. In fact, Tucker didn't even have any carries during last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old was only used on special teams, but Tucker could have more involvement this weekend. Fellow back Bucky Irving (hip) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. If he sits, Rachaad White would take over as the lead back and Tucker would serve as the primary backup. If that happens, Tucker might end up seeing more than a handful of carries this weekend. The absence of Irving might give Tucker desperation flex appeal, but he's unlikely to bring much to the table.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen said the team needs to be more aware of getting running back Sean Tucker touches in every game. The team self-scouted during the Week 11 bye and is looking to Tucker more involved. The second-year back out of Syracuse flashed with 136 rushing yards, 56 receiving yards, and two total touchdowns in the Week 6 win over the New Orleans Saints but has not seen more than six touches in a game since. In Week 10, he did not handle a single touch. This is good news for Tucker fantasy managers in deep leagues, but Rachaad White and Bucky Irving could be even more uncertain fantasy outlooks down the stretch as a result. The usage of the Tampa Bay running backs should be heavily monitored in Week 12 against the New York Giants.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has been quiet since his 136-yard outburst in Week 6. However, Tucker could see more action against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. The Bucs have gone to a committee approach in the backfield. Tucker is normally the third option, but he could see more chances with Bucky Irving (toe) questionable for Week 9. If he sits, Tucker would split up the backfield duties with Rachaad White who has struggled on the ground. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another 100-yard performance from Tucker, but he might have some low-end flex appeal if Irving is unable to play.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker was quiet during last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Tucker exploded for 136 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6, but was held in check to 29 yards on five carries in the loss. The Bucs are using a three-man committee in the backfield, which is going to make this a messy situation. Tucker appears to be on the bottom of that committee after his dud last week. However, Bucky Irving (toe) is questionable for Week 8, so Tucker might be asked to step into the RB2 role this weekend. If that happens, Tucker could have some flex appeal otherwise fantasy managers can keep him on the bench for their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
