Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker lost four yards on four carries in a 16-14 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Tucker's touches dwindled after the return of Bucky Irving, but he did emerge as an occasional option near the goal line. With his value hinging almost entirely on touchdowns, Tucker became more of a hinderance to the fantasy upside of Bucky Irving than an asset in his own right.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker rushed twice for eight yards in a 20-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Tucker's touches have evaporated over the last five games, but he has emerged as a factor around the goal line. That being said, he offers almost no fantasy value when he is unable to find the end zone. He is an all-or-nothing option for fantasy owners.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker posted four runs for three yards and a TD in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
Huddle Up: The touchdown is fine, but Bucky Irving had 19 carries for 71 yards, and he is the bell cow, followed by Rachaad White, who ran for 45 yards and 9.0 yards per carry, and 60 total scrimmage yards. Tucker's fantasy appeal is limited to deeper leagues only.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker had four carries for seven yards and a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15.
Huddle Up: Make it back-to-back weeks with a touchdown for Tucker, who is splitting time with Rachaad White behind Bucky Irving in Tampa's backfield. It was enough of a mess when it was just Irving and White, but adding Tucker has muddied the waters even further. While his role as short-yardage/goal-line back gives him some upside from your flex spot, the sample size is still so small with all three backs available that you'd be taking a major risk using Tucker at this time of year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker rushed seven times for 29 yards and a touchdown in a 24-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Tucker scored on a one-yard run, but in the two games since Bucky Irving returned to the lineup, Tucker has nine total carries. He is worth rostering as an insurance policy to Irving, but he is too risky to start as long as he is operating as Tampa Bay's No. 3 running back.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker failed to gain a yard on two carries in a 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.
Huddle Up: With Bucky Irving back in action, Tucker became an afterthought on offense. He and Rachaad White both received two carries, but while White caught three passes, Tucker was not targeted. Feel free to hang on to Tucker in case Irving goes down again, but he is back to being strictly an insurance policy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker rushed 12 times for a team-best 42 yards in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams, and he had a single 4-yard reception on two targets.
Huddle Up: Tucker had a chance to lead the backfield, but he had a tough time against a strong Rams defense. He averaged 3.5 yards per carry (YPC), while Rachaad White had seven totes for 38 yards, or 5.4 YPC. Tucker had a fabulous game in Buffalo last week, but it was back to reality on Sunday. Tucker should be treated as more of a RB3 or flex fantasy option in Week 13 if Bucky Irving is ruled out yet again.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker carried the ball 19 times for 106 yards and a pair of touchdowns during the team's Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Tucker also added two receptions, 34 yards, and a score.
Huddle Up: After flashing in limited use over the previous couple of games, Tucker was the Bucs' most effective weapon against the Bills, accounting for 140 yards and three touchdowns. His 21 touches were nine more than Rachaad White, who has worked as the lead back ever since Bucky Irving (foot) went down with a foot injury back in Week 4. Therein lies the conundrum. Tucker has flashed like this before -- he had a 192-yard, 2-TD game against the Saints last year -- but when Irving is around he and White get the work with Tucker relegated to the background. If you're in need of RB help, and Tucker is out there, you can make a move to acquire him. Just be aware his value could be very short-lived.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB carried Sean Tucker carried 19 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns, and he scored on a 28-yard catch in a Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: Tucker, who also had a six-yard grab, set a career high in carries and touchdowns and surpassed 100 yards for the second time in his career. He entered carrying 21 times for 95 yards and a touchdown in his last two games in a RB split with Rachaad White, as Bucky Irving continues to rehab his foot sprain. If Tucker is still on your league's waiver wire, he could be worth a speculative add after this game, but Irving is getting close to returning, and when he does, he'll get the majority of touches.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker rushed nine times for 53 yards in Week 10 against the New England Patriots, and he was the first NFL player in 2025 to go for 50 or more rushing yards in a game this season against the Patriots. He also had a catch for minus-2 yards on two targets.
Huddle Up: Tucker averaged 5.9 yards per carry (YPC), while Rachaad White (3.8 YPC) was mostly stuck in neutral. If Bucky Irving continues to sit out injured, Tucker, not White, could be the fantasy back in Tampa to use. Consider grabbing Tucker as a low-end RB3 or flex fantasy flyer head into Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills were minced up by De'Von Achane in Miami on Sunday, so Tucker could shine if given the chance.
