The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Sean Tucker.
Is Sean Tucker Playing in Week 15?
Tucker is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Buccaneers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tucker in Week 15?
Tucker punched in a score against the Saints last week, his sixth of the season, but his usage suggests that chasing a touchdown this week or at any point while this backfield is whole is a fool’s errand.
Buccaneer RB Snap Data, Week 14
- Rachaad White: 49.3% snaps, 12 touches
- Bucky Irving: 49.3% snaps, 17 touches
- Tucker: 15.9% snaps, 7 touches
It’s nice when it works, but let’s remember that we are looking at a player with 340 scrimmage yards on the season, 140 of which came in that breakout game in Buffalo with Irving shelved.
If Irving were to go down, Tucker’s stock shoots up to that of an RB2, and that’s why he should remain held on the back end of rosters, but you’re doing so with the understanding that standalone value is a long shot at best.
