RB Sean Tucker, TB (2 Viewers)

[Grahamburn]

I think many are getting ahead of their skis on Tucker. No question he has talent and can run/catch the ball, and if he were part of a backfield that had no viable other options, it's wheels up. But as much as we want to push the others aside, I'm sure Bowles has other ideas.

Great stash, but temper your expectations.

Don't you kind of have to get over your skis? Since when are you able to just wait around for a guy to break out and then pick him up?

I think they're going to get really creative in how they use all 3 of these RBs' particular skill-sets.

I don't recall saying to wait - "great stash, but temper your expectations" was how I ended it.

 

[BespokeJort]

Coaches think the way they want to think. I wouldn't expect some big change, but I could be wrong.

Fair enough. Bowles is in an enviable/unenviable position depending on his nature. My sense watching the pewter report I linked is Bowles has a rep for failing to react. The tone of beat writer words "wanting to get Bowles on record...for Bucs fans minds to be put at ease and my own mind to be at ease" struck me as important backdrop of fan sentiment/mindset (beyond mere FF biases we read here). Keep in mind, this franchise has ranked dead last in rushing the past 2 seasons. Logically, Bowles can only lose putting Tucker back on the bench. He has perfect cover to integrate Tucker more, even if Tucker comes back to earth.

Even with Tucker's great game, when he finally did hit the field last year he looked terrible (15/23/1.5/0, albeit a small sample size). So there is that.

Does that seem like an important data point still, for you? That’s surprising.

I did say "small sample size", so obviously it isn't a major point to me. Just pointing it out that it's not as if he got his first chance and excelled. He's definitely a hold in dynasty after having such a good game, but like the small sample size in 2023, this was one game. It was enough to get in dynasty and I did prior to Sunday's game in one league. I also picked him up in another and dropped him soon after :( So I am interested in Tucker.

I saw somebody make the point that he probably was not able to train much in the offseason prior to last year given the whole heart condition that dropped him out of the draft. I don’t have any insider knowledge here but that does feel like a credible reason for him to look like a different player after a whole season and offseason of nfl training to get fully in game shape and up to speed (both on the playbook and used to game speed of the nfl).

To your point, both small sample sizes, but the more recent one does feel more relevant. Doesn’t mean he takes over but I do think it’s fairly likely he’s somewhere closer on the spectrum to the runner he looks like this year than the one he looked like last year

I'm holding in dynasty for sure. I'm not going to do something crazy and make a bad trade for him, but if I can get him off the waiver wire for cheap, like I did in one league for free, then hell yes, I'm in.

 

[Lansdowne]

Don't want to trade this guy, but I wonder what his value might be right now in a RB-obsessed dynasty league ... He's still a long shot to ever be a star[ter]. But that's a far, far more realistic outcome now than it was a week ago.

If you want to deal him, I'd do it now while he's the flavor of the week and before his role goes down or gets hurt a la Wicks.

This strategy works if the trade partner is much higher on Tucker than you are, and can get starter-quality value in return. Just beware because this could just as easily swing the other way should White or Irving miss extended time. It depends on whether you think his value has already peaked up to this point.

Baltimore's defense hasn't been very good for fantasy, but without looking, I think they are still good at stopping the run. How's that pass rush doing? Are we still living in the past?

4th overall in FF points allowed at a stingy rate of just under 17 total
First of all even when the Ravens go over their 4th best average, it still would put them in the middle of the pack that week and that's happened a whopping twice already
This is a very consistent team and thank you for challenging my post not in a negative way but it allows me to share my thoughts more in depth by posting reasons why I feel like this.

In theory 17 allows for about 80-100 yds and a TD but it doesn't work that way. Most teams either split loads or don't overload 1 RB so now you're closer to under 50 yds rushing
You reference another part of the Ravens, their Pass Defense which isn't all that good. 2nd most FF points allowed to opposing QBs.
They've seen Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Daniels and Prescott, some of the better QBs in the NFL so I'm not sure how good or bad they truly are.

The Ravens have also allowed a lot of points to opposing WRs so don't hesitate to play Evans and Godwin this week
Good post JU

 

[ohio#1eaglesfan]

Could be the best back on the roster. He seems to have great hands and is more of a no nonsense runner than the other two. Irving has had some good runs but he tends to run more east, west from what I’ve seen.

You've never met a back up Running Back you didn't like
Everyone has a type

True. That’s why I have Mason, Irving, Tucker, Tyrone Tracy and Tank Bigsby all on the same team .

well yeah, i thought you meant in terms of rush defense in the NFL or FF pts allowed to opposing RBs, that's different what you are saying
But also because they have a weak pass defense that bring them down in terms of a FF Def/ST so yeah you're right they are not a terrific GG Defense, neither are the Niners

I believe he has previously been dubbed "baby Nick Chubb."

He’s the next Barry Sanders.

 

[ohio#1eaglesfan]

Didn’t know that Tucker is real fast. He supposedly runs around a 4.3-4.4, 40

I’m hearing a lot of 3 man committee talk. I think the cream will rise to the top, wooo!

I have a sneaky feeling that Tucker is the best back for real though and I might try trading Irving before Monday night

[TVT 0 N S T A]

I have zero FAAB dollars because of Sean Tucker, who was a 2024 pre-draft cut... When a guy dominates a game like this guy just did, don't ask questsions. Just stash him on your roster.

Rachaad White has always been a volume-based RB. Even if the Bucs go full RB committee, the hot hand will always prevail... that hot hand will never be Rachaad White.

I imagine with TB success they will be happy with the depth. But Tucker looks like their best option and can be an FF force if either Irving/White get nicked up. TB may also decide they are tired of White’s ypc, whereas the other two have shown to be more explosive.

 

[jm192]

In a 20 team league and nobody has claimed him. I don't get the excitement over him to be honest.

Nearly 200 total yards on offense and 2 touchdowns. He looked electric doing it. That's not something just anyone can do.

I do think it's going to be a committee. I do think it's going to be tough to pick your spots when to start Tucker if all 3 are healthy. But it's worth a roster spot to see what shakes out.

 

[jm192]

I'm not here to say he's a league winner or even usable on a weekly basis. But, there's a world where things break right and he's a very nice piece for fantasy the rest of the year.

I had a couple leagues where he went for some real FAAB. 30% or more in 2. The rest where people paid for him, he went for 0-1$. I was honestly surprised at how many leagues I was able to get him so cheaply. And while I realize it's a 3 headed monster when White gets back, I think a couple bucks and a roster spot are worth it to see what shakes out.

 

[menobrown]

Average winning bid for him in various FFPC legues was hovering right around $200, out of a $1,000 budget.

I was scrolling through my leagues in order after waivers ran, redraft first, and first 3 leagues I checked I put in the winning bid and was actually a little nervous over it. I say that because while I may talk a lot on these boards it's not for strategic reasons. I'm kind of in my own little bubble when it comes to fantasy. Don't listen, read, whatever to fantasy opinions so don't consume those waiver wire articles and when I saw I was dropping those winning bids on him in the first 3 leagues I checked my thought was along the lines of "do I know what I'm doing"?

From that point on things settled down, had an incredible amount of bids that came in second but only picked him up in less then 20% of my leagues after those first 3 I checked. I also felt a lot better, even though I made and error, when in the Sharkpool FFPC dynasty league I had put in a winning bid but messed up and did not put in my cut. He went @joey for about $16 less then I bid and that was bittersweet to me because while I hated losing him, I got respect for Joey and it made me feel like I was not out of mind.

Should go without saying he's a lot more valuable in dynasty. For this season who knows? We still got a long season and we got a lot of injuries and are seeing a lot of trades and course if Tampa handles playing time based on performance I don't know how they keep trying to make White work in the running game. All 3 backs are good in the passing game but to me White is clearly the worst of the 3 at actually running the ball.

One guy spend $951 out of $1000 in one of my dynasty leagues. Kind of reminds me of one year I spent $1000 out of $1000 on Mason Rudolph.

 

[SoBeDad]

Tucker had some nice runs, good vision, quickness, setting up defenders. I don't think he's 4.4. I wonder if the change at center from injured Barton to Hainsey helped a little, Barton has been struggling.

White was super efficient as a receiving RB in 2023, catching almost everything and 10 plays of 20+ yards. Irving has been very good as a runner. All 3 RBs can catch.

I'd rotate Tucker and Irving and throw in some White on some 3rd downs. Irving may be more of a threat to Tucker's playing time.

 

[BigJim®]

Tucker had some nice runs, good vision, quickness, setting up defenders. I don't think he's 4.4. I wonder if the change at center from injured Barton to Hainsey helped a little, Barton has been struggling.

White was super efficient as a receiving RB in 2023, catching almost everything and 10 plays of 20+ yards. Irving has been very good as a runner. All 3 RBs can catch.

I'd rotate Tucker and Irving and throw in some White on some 3rd downs. Irving may be more of a threat to Tucker's playing time.

I know he isn't great, but why are you dismissing White? Do you think the HC thinks as you do? Or is it just wishful thinking on your part?

I'm not here to say he's a league winner or even usable on a weekly basis. But, there's a world where things break right and he's a very nice piece for fantasy the rest of the year.

I had a couple leagues where he went for some real FAAB. 30% or more in 2. The rest where people paid for him, he went for 0-1$. I was honestly surprised at how many leagues I was able to get him so cheaply. And while I realize it's a 3 headed monster when White gets back, I think a couple bucks and a roster spot are worth it to see what shakes out.

One guy spend $951 out of $1000 in one of my dynasty leagues. Kind of reminds me of one year I spent $1000 out of $1000 on Mason Rudolph.

That actually happened in one of my dynasty leagues this week!

I'm in 4 dynasty leagues. I added him in 3/4 when White was announced out as a "what the heck" kind of thing.

In the 4th league, some dude bid the full 1,000$ on Tucker.

Anyways, now I have Tucker in 4/4 dynasty leagues.

In dynasty, I dropped $61 out of $100 on him. In other leagues I'm in, ~66% of total FAAB has been thrown around. FAAB doesn't roll over in any of these leagues, so why not. It's almost like buying a 2nd or 3rd rd. rookie pick (in value). I was a fan going into last year's draft, and we saw it on the field this weekend. Worth a stash for sure.

He's still available in one of my leagues. Would you add him and drop one of Shakir or Braelon Allen?

I dropped Allen for him. Hall looks like he’s gonna be the work horse for the jets. Tucker has a shot at taking over as the #1 back on this team

Run don't walk to do that for Shakir for sure, especially with Cooper in the fold. For Allen is a bit more on the fence IMO.

I would definitely add him.

I'm cutting bait with Shakir in my 10 team leagues, and on the fence in the 12 team leagues. He's not completely useless, but upside takes a massive hit with Cooper in town.

I don't have any of these backs. It's what I'd do. If White is out another week, we may see if Bucky is better than Sean, or vice versa.
