    Sean Tucker had no touches in the Bucs’ Wild Card loss to the Commanders.
    Tucker was a distant third on the Bucs’ backfield depth chart and didn’t see any action in the playoff loss. He finished the regular season by rushing for 308 yards on 50 carries with two touchdowns. He also caught 9-of-12 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old is capable of being a solid backup running back in the NFL and could even supplant Rachaad White in that job next season, but for now, he enters 2025 with little fantasy value.

    Sean Tucker rushed seven times for 39 yards in the Bucs’ Week 17 win over the Panthers.
    Tucker was used sparingly before the Bucs pulled their starters. Seven of his attempts came on the final drive with Kyle Trask under center. He could see more run late in Week 18 with a dreadful Saints squad on tap, but fantasy managers shouldn’t bank on that in their lineups.

    Sean Tucker rushed seven times for 17 yards in the Buccaneers’ Week 15 win over the Chargers.
    Tucker rushed inefficiently against the Chargers but did notch a 37-yard kickoff return. He offers no standalone value but remains a high-upside bench stash for the fantasy football playoffs.

    Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Bucky Irving (hip/back) is questionable for Week 15 against the Chargers.
    Irving was a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday and was not spotted at the media portion of practice on Friday. Regardless of what his practice status may be to close out the week, Bowles said Irving will be questionable for Week 15’s game against the Colts, making his status one to monitor over the weekend and potentially up to 90 minutes before kickoff when inactive are announced. If Irving can’t play, Rachaad White will step in as the team’s RB1 with Sean Tucker serving as his backup.

    Bucky Irving (hip/back) was not seen practicing on Thursday.
    Irving has now missed two straight practices and is trending on the wrong side of playing in Week 15 against the Chargers. Head coach Todd Bowles said Irving needs his back “to loosen up” if he hopes to have a shot at playing this week, so we’ll see if any progress is made on that front come Friday. If he’s unable to play, Rachaad White would profile as a RB2, while Sean Tucker could have some upside as a streamer in deeper leagues.

    Sean Tucker rushed three times for 47 yards in the Bucs’ Week 14 win over the Raiders.
    Bucky Irving left this game early with a back issue, but the Bucs leaned on Rachaad White to the tune of 17 carries and three targets. Tucker also had two targets but came down with neither of them. Tucker made a push to force a three-man backfield earlier this year but has since been phased out of the offense. An Irving injury could be his ticket back into the mix. If Irving misses Week 15, we’d expect Tucekr to be more involved. He should be stashed in deeper leagues ahead of his matchup with the Chargers.

    Bucky Irving (back) is questionable to return in Week 14 against the Raiders.
    Irving entered Sunday listed as questionable with back and hip injuries. The back issue seemingly flared up early in the game and he was pulled in the second quarter. Irving was spotted on the sidelines without his helmet before receiving the questionable designation. Rachaad White will take over as the primary back for Tampa Bay if he can’t return. Sean Tucker should also see an uptick in snaps.

    Sean Tucker rushed four times for three yards and a touchdown in the Bucs’ Week 12 win over the Giants, adding a seven-yard reception.
    In a nightmare scenario, Tucker capped off the Bucs’ opening drive with a one-yard scoring plunge after Bucky Irving took the offense down to the one. Inconceivably, the Bucs tried to run it back the following series, this time with Vita Vea as the lead blocker. This time, Tucker fumbled. He had saw just one more touch the rest of the afternoon, his reception. That’s despite an entire half of garbage time. Needless to say, the coaching staff must not have been too impressed with the red zone cough up even though they recovered to kick a field goal. The Bucs have seemed intent on creating a three-man committee, but Tucker simply is not good enough to consistently steal touches away from Bucky Irving and Rachaad White.

    Buccaneers OC Liam Coen said the team wants to give Sean Tucker touches in every game.
    According to Coen, this was determined during the team’s bye week while they did some self-scouting. We’ll see if anything materializes here, but even if Tucker’s touches to see an increase, it will be more of an annoyance for Rachaad White/Bucky Irving fantasy managers than it will be anything to get excited about for those still holding Tucker. Head coach Todd Bowles said after Tucker’s Week 6 breakout in which he totaled 192 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, that he sees a “three-headed monster” taking shape in Tampa’s backfield. Since then, Tucker has had exactly 13 touches in his last four games, while White and Irving continued to see most of the work. Maybe things will be different after the bye week, but we wouldn’t be holding our collective breaths.

    Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said Bucky Irving’s toe injury will likely be something he deals with for the rest of this season.
    As a result of this lingering issue, Bowles said the team will “limit him during the weeks so that he can play in the games.” In other words, don’t expect to see many reports of Irving being a full participant in many practices going forward. We’ve seen toe/foot injuries that start as minor worsen when players attempt to play through them. Irving is clearly going to attempt to play through whatever ailment he is dealing with, but considering this recent piece of news, fantasy managers rostering Sean Tucker should continue to hold him despite his light workload over the last two weeks.
