RB Sean Tucker, TB (3 Viewers)

[eighsse2]

I don't get the excitement over him to be honest.

Yup. Offensive player of the week /Shmoffensive player of the Shmeek, amirite?

Thanks for translating into Schmeabs' schmanguage.

 

[SoBeDad]

Updates on White would be appreciated. I think today is when they come out.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

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

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

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.

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

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.

Thanks gents, I ended up dropped Shakir for him. I now have WAY too many RBs lmao.

JT, Achane, Robinson Jr, Chase Brown, Allegier, Braelon Allen, Goodson (Just got him today too with JT hurt) and now Tucker.

And I dropped WRs to make these RBs so only have AJ Brown, Adams and Aiyuk now. Uh oh.

IMO it is back to a 2 headed running back room with Tucker getting scraps and garbage time

 

[Down Under]

He's available in a short bench league of mine. I've considered dropping Charbs for him, but haven't been able to make myself do it. With it being a short bench, I do need players actually playable due to injuries/byes. Charbs isn't playing or producing much when
Walker
has played though...

 

[heckmanm]

Surprised to see him on the wire in my salary cap league. Just snapped him up for 1 unit (400 cap), which means I can afford to hold for a while if need be.

I would imagine it won't take long for White to be relegated to mostly passing downs and for Irving and Tucker to split 1st and 2nd downs and short yardage situations.

Won't take long?
So the Bucs will just telegraph their plays by wheeling out White on 3rd down or any type of pass play?
This guy averages almost 4 catches a game or 60+ a season, he's a major part of why Baker is successful and you think they are just gonna have a reduced number of plays for White who also picks up the blitz rather well I might add.

I understand why folks are excited, I watched the game too as a Bucs fan
I've not heard the coaches or the fan base clamoring for someone else at RB. Fans were happy to see Irving doing well early and hoping the Bucs have a 1-2 punch

Also as I posted earlier int his thread or maybe it was another Bucs skill position thread, look at the last 2 games for White
20 carries for over 120+ yds rushing, 6 yds a clip, it's not the like the Bucs were being held back by White being their lead RB
In fact the tandem of White and Irving was working quite well, Bucs actually beat the Lions a few weeks ago

-I think it's going to take a very long time in terms of Redraft '24...now 2025 might look different, a lot different but let's all take a deep breath before Week 7
If White can't suit up and Tucker pairs with Irving, still likely that Bucky will see most of the early touches
And they play the Ravens which might have some folks nervous or slow to jump on him

The next 4 games are going to be very difficult for the Bucs running game

To be fair:

Teams have long used a "3rd down back." You use those guys in obvious passing situations where the defense knows your passing.

Irving and Tucker are good pass catching backs. It's not like them being on the field means you CAN'T pass the ball.

 

[Gatorade]

Have been carrying him in two dynasty leagues since rookie season. 16 team, 1QB . Another team is desperately trying now to trade for Tucker and Chubb, but is only offering a late second. I don't think that is enough. I think I'll wait a week to see what they both do in the games. If Tucker starts to get regular carries, he could be worth more than that. I probably won't make the playoffs this year and lose Chubb after this year anyway.

 

[Skipdog77]

Added to my "hope something hits" stable of Tyrone Tracy, Ray Davis, Jordan Mason, and Blake Corum. If two of them turn into viable dynasty RB's, I'll be happy.

I started one league with Davis, Corum, C. Brown, Chubb and Tucker. I started out 2-7. Hope it's not too late.

 

[Runkle]

Still unclaimed in my league. I'm the Breece owner so hesitant to drop Allen. Also the Irving owner so don't feel like I can justify using up roster space on two "backups" to White. Otherwise I'd have to cut Hockenson, JSN, Darnold, or wait for Chuba Hubbard to become the backup in Carolina. Sometimes I really hate short benches.

You’d need an injury for Allen to be relevant it seems at this time. Tucker could straight up pass Irving without an injury. Tucker has great hands and speed and seems to run more physical than his counterparts

I guess In a relative sense no, maybe he’s got some floor but Tucker has a higher ceiling.

JSN is never going to be a number 1

Tucker may not either, likely will not but in that context of who do you drop, unless it’s a 16 team league, JSN is replaceable

JSN stinks

Really? He’s averaging double digit fantasy points per week.

he is averaging 8 ppg in my half PPR league and he is sitting at WR29. So while he may not "stink" he is one of a bunch of similar WR's out there.

 

[Grahamburn]

It is important to note in here that Coen has shifted more to a gap scheme these last few weeks versus the mid-zone they started the season with. It's the single biggest reason for the running game taking off. White did have nice games against the Eagles and Atlanta the prior week as well. Tampa's linemen perform much better pulling and walling off defenders in this type of scheme. There's a decent chance White would have also had a really nice game had he played.

Tucker's average yards before contact in this game was 6.6. So, just some things to think about. Tucker definitely powered through some tackles and also eliminated defender's angles with his sneaky speed though.

Agree with your analysis. Bucky seems to be very shifty and Tucker is more speed and power. I prefer the speed and power and going north, south. Hopefully the coaching staff does as well

[cockroach]

White limited. Tucker prob doesn't do anything this week but count me amongst those excited for his prospects. I added him for the minimum before the game but would have definitely emptied (the already spent) FAAB wallet for him.

Looks like a difference maker (even if NO is doodoo).

The Coachspeak Index
#Bucs HC Todd Bowles on Sean Tucker only playing 7 snaps and whether he’s the lesser third of the three-headed monster:

“I think it’ll change every week. We got behind, and that was probably less Tucker’s thing. But he’s gonna get more touches, he’s gonna get more plays and more reps.”

Bowles has an 80% reliability rating on usage/workload coachspeak and an 85% reliability rating on depth chart coachspeak

We’d expect Sean Tucker to see some more snaps and touches in positive and neutral game scripts. Unfortunately, those can be tough to predict, and Tucker is the third back to enter into games, so two guys ahead of him get the chance to get the “hot hand” before Tucker. Not an ideal setup.k

[Grahamburn]

They'll be ahead more often after their bye week. They play some bad teams. Until then though he's not going to see much action over White/Bucky. They're going to be playing behind or neutral the next two games.

 

[JohnnyU]

He's going to need injuries to those above him. Sorry if you blew your wad after his big game.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

I think I'm going to have to drop Tucker as I need to move Hockenson out of my IR spot and I like my other bench options more (Tua, Diontae Johnson, Chase Brown, Allgeier and Braelon Allen).

It's too bad because I think Tucker has a role and talent, but that RB room is awful for FF managers. How could you ever start him with confidence unless both guys are out?

 

[Kiddnets]

In deep dynasty league roster im holding for next season - in leagues with short benches Id be dropping.

 

[eighsse2]

Not trying to be salty as a Tucker dynasty owner, but just so strange to not give this guy the ball more. Averaging 8.3 yards per opportunity. Not per touch, per opportunity. Irving is averaging 5.5, and White 4.9. I know 8.3 is an unrealistic number to sustain over a larger sample size, but still. Ever since his huge game (Buccaneers won) his offensive snap count/opportunities have been: 16/7, 7/3, 7/4, 0/0 (all Buccaneers losses). I know you have to earn your way up the depth chart patiently when there is an established top dog ... but still one of the more mystifying cases.

I'm a huge Tucker fan, YUUUUUUUUGE, and I think he could be great given the opportunity to be a bell cow but his success thus far in the NFL is pretty limited. Almost all of his NFL production comes from one game, and it was against one of the worst rush defenses in the league in a blowout win. There was a lot going on in that game.

At this point, it just boils down to the team having more invested in Bucky and White and both have done nothing to lose their jobs. In fact, if I'm being fair, they've both played pretty dang well this year. White seemingly gets better every year and Bucky has been an eye opener for me. He's looked much better than I anticipated against the monsters of the NFL. White is a great receiver and Bucky is averaging over 5 yards per carry with almost 100 carries in 9 games played.

It's a numbers game and hard to effectively get three different guys touches without screwing up game flow and preparations. Right now, the team has an embarrassment of riches at RB and Tucker just seems like the odd man out.

I blew a ton of my FAAB allotment on him. Started cutting him in some of those leagues last week when it became apparent they cut one of the heads off their "3 headed monster" backfield.

I can't label it as strange though. Tough to work in 3 RB's and I've always been of the opinion that 3 is one to many, got to let RB's get into a groove.

I always valued him higher in dynasty but even that's muddy since all 3 RB's are set to return next year.

 

[Grahamburn]

Liam Coen said as part of the bye-week self-scout, Bucs are more aware they need to make sure Sean Tucker has touches in every game and a chance to make plays in rotation with the other two backs.

[TampaMike19]

Hard to get snaps when both players are better than Tucker at their respective roles. Nice problem to have - super cost controlled UDFA

 

[JohnnyU]

Not completely free until 2027. If another team offers him more than TB wants to match he could be gone in 2026 (RFA). He has a base and cap hit in 2025 of just over 1M.
