Sean Tucker

Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker is officially inactive for a Week 8 matchup with the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Tucker failed to log a snap over his last two games and will is now a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old rookie can safely be left on the waiver wire for now.

Despite the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 2, running back Sean Tucker struggled to find his footing, managing a mere 7 yards on 8 carries.

Fantasy Impact

The 21-year-old back, currently ranked RB61 for the week and RB55 for the season, was consistently shut down by the Bears' defense, with his longest run of the day being a 7-yard gain in the third quarter. Tucker's lack of involvement in the passing game also continued, with zero targets or receptions to his name. His season stats now stand at 22 rushing yards on 13 carries, with 9 receiving yards on 2 receptions. Looking ahead to Week 3, Tucker and the Bucs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, but there isn't a lot of hype surrounding the rookie's fantasy value for the time being.

Sean Tucker gained 15 yards on five carries and added two catches for nine yards in a 20-17 win over the Vikings in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Tucker operated as the Buccaneers' No. 2 running back behind Rachaad White. He wound up picking up 3.0 yards per carry, as compared to White's 2.3 YPC. Tucker remains a solid handcuff heading into Week 2's matchup against Chicago.

Sean Tucker is set to open the season as Tampa Bay's RB2.

Fantasy Impact

Tucker, an undrafted free agent, has been getting a lot of hype this offseason as a potential sleeper, and now some of that is getting confirmed by him securing the RB2 job behind Rachaad White. There isn't significant reason for concern for White's workload yet, but if the rookie keeps going at the trajectory he's on, he could eat into the starter's workload more than people may think. Tucker is a decent stash or handcuff option in deeper league formats this season.

According to Greg Auman of FOX Sports, UDFA RB Sean Tucker cleared roster cuts and has made it to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster.

Fantasy Impact

Tucker went undrafted largely due to medical concerns. Heading into the 2022 college football season, Tucker was seen as one of the top RB prospects. During his time at Syracuse, he ran for 2,556 yards and 23 touchdowns over his final two seasons. During the preseason, Tucker ran 23 times for 100 yards. He is believed to have a shot at the RB2 job behind Rachaad White.
