23-Year-Old Running BackRB
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tucker suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Bucs, but 46 percent of his yardage and two of his three touchdowns came in just one contest, a Week 6 matchup against the Saints in which he erupted for 192 scrimmage yards. Otherwise, the Syracuse product mostly took a back seat to Bucky Irving and Rachaad White. Tucker's one big game suggests he's got lead back upside, and new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard might view the depth chart differently than Liam Coen did, but it will likely take injuries ahead of him for that opportunity to present itself.

Stands out in preseason win
RBTampa Bay Buccaneers
August 10, 2025
Tucker rushed 13 times for 50 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for no gain in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Tucker logged his first carry with 8:14 remaining in the first quarter on the Buccaneers' second possession, one he'd cap off with an impressive two-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter. That score was preceded by a 23-yard scamper that served as Tampa Bay's longest run of the night, and with White having suffered a groin injury in the contest, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports Tucker could be setting himself up for more touches due both to the opportunity that development could create and his own talent. "Sean brings us another explosive runner," said head coach Todd Bowles. "He's a game-breaker for us. He's got very good contact balance, he can break a lot of tackles, and he can naturally find holes. He has great vision, and every opportunity he's gotten, he's shown. Like I keep telling the guys on offense, we've got to give him the ball more."

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Health concerns regarding a heart condition caused Tucker to go undrafted in 2023, but his performance at Syracuse hinted at a potentially productive NFL career. Instead, he was nearly invisible as a rookie behind Rachaad White in the Buccaneers' backfield, and once Chase Edmonds got healthy, almost all of Tucker's snaps came on special teams. He lacks the skills to contribute on passing downs, but Tucker's balance, power and elusiveness should allow him to gain yards after contact. Tampa Bay drafted Bucky Irving in the fourth round in 2024, making Tucker's path to a roster spot even tougher.
Tucker makes for a high-pedigree undrafted free agent, as he racked up 2,556 rushing yards, 509 receiving yards and 27 total touchdowns over his last two seasons at Syracuse. The compactly built rookie (5-9, 207) should have his fair share of reps during training camp and preseason games, but he'll have no shortage of competition for a depth running back role considering the presence of holdovers Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Patrick Laird, as well as fellow UDFA Ronnie Brown.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
White's injury creates opportunity
RBTampa Bay Buccaneers
August 14, 2025
Tucker has a chance to carve out a larger role while Rachaad White recover from a groin injury, per Eric Edholm of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Tucker turned heads with 192 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in a Week 6 win over the Saints last season. He was generally relegated to a third-string role behind Bucky Irving and White outside of that game, but White's injury could pave the way for Tucker to move up the depth chart. White averaged just 4.3 yards per carry in the 2024 regular season compared to Tucker's 6.2 and Irving's 5.4.
