  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Logs eight carries in win

    Tucker carried eight times for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Tucker's inefficiency was naturally an unwelcome sight, but the fact he saw eight touches over 17 snaps was encouraging. The undrafted rookie has logged 13 carries through two games as the clear early down backup to Rachaad White, but he's still essentially a fantasy non-factor for the time being, especially with White, who logged 51 snaps Sunday, capable of shouldering a heavy workload.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Solid usage in win

    Tucker rushed five times for 15 yards and brought in both targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Tucker entered the game listed second on the depth chart and did operate as Rachaad White's primary backup, although he was far behind the latter's 17 carries and 54 snaps. Tucker logged 10 snaps from scrimmage and another 15 on special teams, and while no Bucs back found any success against Minnesota's front seven Sunday, his usage at least corroborates that he could enjoy a solid complementary role as the season unfolds.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Listed second on depth chart

    Tucker is listed as the No. 2 running back on the Buccaneers' initial regular season depth chart, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    The depth charts printed on team sites are often handled by the PR staff, though in this case, Tucker seems to have the support of coach Todd Bowles, who relayed that the rookie earned his spot, per Smith. Tucker's apparent ascent isn't a total surprise, in part because Chase Edmonds and Ke'Shawn Vaughn -- listed third and fourth on the depth chart, respectively -- are less-than-formidable competition for reps behind starter Rachaad White. There's also probably something to the notion that Tucker is overqualified as an undrafted rookie; he was often projected as a mid-round pick before a heart condition put his playing future into question during the pre-draft process. He plans to continue playing with the heart condition and could get some touches Sunday at Minnesota in his regular-season NFL debut.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Could carve out complementary role

    Tucker is in the mix along with Chase Edmonds and Ke'Shawn Vaughn to see complementary work behind top back Rachaad White during the upcoming season, Buccaneers' official site reports.

    When it comes to how the touches that don't go to White will be divided, offensive coordinator Dave Canales expects to employ a committee approach. With that in mind, Edmonds has a chance to make his mark in passing situations, while some combination of Tucker, White and Edmonds could be used to spell White on early downs. In that context, Tucker doesn't have a clearly defined role as Sunday's season opener at Minnesota approaches, but the undrafted rookie out of Syracuse profiles as a player to monitor in order to see how the Buccaneers' backfield pecking order shakes out as the 2023 campaign progresses.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Kept on roster

    Tucker earned a spot on Tampa Bay's initial 53-man roster, Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Tucker is joined by Rachaad White, Chase Edmonds and Ke'Shawn Vaughn in one of the weaker RB rooms in the league. It's a situation that makes Tucker arguably the most interesting undrafted rookie from a fantasy perspective, and even more so because he might've been a mid-to-late-round pick if not for a heart condition he plans to play with. It's unclear how backup roles behind White will be handled Week 1 at Minnesota, but the inactive lists ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday may provide at least one hint.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Gets 11 touches

    Tucker took 10 carries for 34 yards and caught his lone target for one yard in Saturday's 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens.

    Tucker was the third RB in the game, after Rachaad White and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, getting nine of his 11 touches in the fourth quarter. The undrafted rookie may have a spot on the Week 1 roster, with OC Dave Canales mentioning Thursday that Tucker has done an especially nice job in practice picking up extra yards on checkdowns, per Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site. ESPN's Jenna Laine believes Tucker is well on his way to making the team.
