Should You Start or Sit Sean Tucker in Week 7?
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the former Syracuse product this week after his role in the beatdown of the Saints last week, and while I was impressed, I’m not sure it means anything moving forward.
Todd Bowles stirred up the conversation when he mentioned being impressed with Tucker and having a “three-headed monster” when it comes to the backfield. It’s not that I don’t believe him, I just have a hard time seeing the second-year back out-earn Bucky Irving or Rachaad White (Week 6 DNP, foot), and a handful of touches per week isn’t roster-worthy.
If we were to get word that White’s injury is more serious than initially thought, then we can talk, but in today’s NFL, supporting two running backs is an uphill battle for most offenses, let alone three. I resisted the urge to add Tucker this week off waivers — as a free add, there’s no real cost incurred, but burning a waiver priority or FAAB isn’t worth it in my opinion.
