ANALYSIS: Sean Tucker has emerged as an enticing roster addition after surging from undrafted free agent status to RB2 responsibilities for Tampa Bay. Tucker accumulated 3,182 yards and 27 touchdowns on the ground during his three years at Syracuse, while leading the Orangemen in yardage and attempts during all three seasons. He also finished sixth overall in rushing yards during 2021 (1,496/124.7 per game), while finishing second with 1,014 yards after contact according to PFF.

Tucker was considered to be a potential mid-round selection prior to last April’s NFL Draft. However, his stock plunged after he was flagged for a heart condition at the NFL combine. Tucker later signed with the Buccaneers and received clearance to join the team during training camp. He surpassed Chase Edmonds and Ke'Shawn Vaughn on the depth chart, which places him directly below Rachaad White.

This positions Tucker to operate with a weekly allotment of carries. He was limited to 15 yards on five attempts in Week 1.  However, White was unimpressive while managing just 39 yards with his 17 carries (2.3 per attempt).

White and Tucker also collected two targets while combining for 19 receiving yards. Tucker’s involvement during his NFL debut was encouraging and he has emerged as a promising handcuff option. He also possesses the explosiveness to become a significant asset for fantasy managers if his workload expands.
