Sean Tucker

The Bucs are tendering Sean Tucker on a one year deal as a restricted free agent.

Fantasy Impact

This move comes after it had been reported that Tampa Bay wouldn't tender Tucker. It appears he'll likely remain in a depth role in the Bucs backfield behind Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell.

RB Sean Tucker will not receiver a restricted tender from the Buccaneers, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Fantasy Impact

The Bucs declined to give Tucker a $3.5 million tender. He is coming off a season where he ran for 320 yards and seven touchdowns. He could land a short yardage role with another backfield as he showed glimpses of in Tampa Bay. With the Bucs expected to lose both Tucker and Rachaad White, they'll be in the market for a running back behind Bucky Irving this offseason.

Sean Tucker ran for -4 yards on four carries in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

Tucker is set to be a restricted free agent this offseason. He'll be a player to monitor if he changes situations.

Sean Tucker rushed twice for eight yards and failed to haul in his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. The running back continues to share backfield touches in a three-way committee, but his volume remains low with Bucky Irving healthy and handling the lead role.

Fantasy Impact

Tucker's fantasy value is largely dependent on goal-line opportunities, making him a risky option heading into a critical Week 18 matchup against the Panthers.

Sean Tucker ran four times for three yards and a score in the Bucs' 23-20 loss to the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

Tucker came in for goalline work, stealing a touchdown that could have gone to Bucky Irving. Tucker now has a touchdown in each of his last three games, but has seven or fewer rushing yards in his last two. He's a touchdown or bust start in fantasy, but he's best left on the bench or waivers.
