The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) will visit the Seattle Seahawks (3-1) in Week 5. 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 5?
Tucker is not on the injury report and 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 Sean Tucker in Week 5?
Sean Tucker has just one touch this season for a reason, but he’s now a must-add with Bucky Irving (foot sprain) out for at least one week and potentially more.
Rachaad White has excelled in the passing game in the past and will likely still dominate the usage from a routes perspective, but the two-down work could be split pretty evenly, and that at least puts Tucker on the flex radar given the potency of this offense.
At the very least, he’s someone that should be rostered in every league.
