Sean Tucker: Buccaneers

[Chris02M]

At least as ‘cuse fans. He’s got a lot more chance to stick in the NFL than Devito does. Although Devito got lucky and is on a terrible team, so he may luck out playing on a team that won’t make the playoffs.

the giants made the playoffs last year and would not bet against them making it this year

Trolling only works when u use facts.

Clearly, you weren’t.

Sorry, let me rephrase all that.
- Tucker has a good chance to make a roster
- TD might if he gets lucky
- Giants will likely at least make the playoffs
- Trolling implies the likelihood you’re using facts is limited. See posts in the conference expansion thread.

Sorry, let me rephrase all that.
- Tucker has a good chance to make a roster. He does and he should
- TD might if he gets lucky I hope not, practice squad is fine
- Giants will likely at least make the playoffs Damn straight
- Trolling implies the likelihood you’re using facts is limited. Fair, but the pros know what I mean. See posts in the conference expansion thread. I really havnt read them.

Ian eagle cuse alum on the call. Cuse all around. LOVE seeing all the cuse guys in preseason…. Small data points that we are trending up. I mean mikel, Kingsley, Alton, tucker, Bergeron (haven’t heard much on ifatu melli and trill?). It’s really fun to watch.

Whoa. Pro Football Focus ranks Sean Tucker as a 'must-draft' backup RB for fantasy. A little fair use:

"Tucker’s preseason performances have potentially vaulted him past Chase Edmonds (60.3 PFF preseason offense grade) and Ke’Shawn Vaughn (49.6 PFF preseason offense grade). Projected starter Rachaad White (68.2 PFF offense grade) can only be penciled in as the backfield’s top player after a shaky 2022 rookie season (3.8 yards per rushing attempt). Tucker has a path to winning the No. 1 running back role come Tampa Bay’s Week 5 bye."

Not surprising. He landed in the best spot for him to move up the depth chart.

 

[Chris02M]

i just drafted him in a dynasty league

Another example of the advantage of being able to choose your team as a FA.

Was listening to a FF show on ESPN radio over the weekend, and one of the hosts mentioned Sean Tucker as a sleeper RB to draft late, on the off-chance that he starts.

Not bad pub for an UFA.

Giants are currently +172 to make playoffs in FanDuel, so Vegas thinks otherwise, but good value if you think so

[djorange1989]

The only reason he wasn’t drafted is the heart issue, his talent has always been there, he is not a normal UFA, he is a steal for TB

Sitting on top the fourth spots, one move from RB3.

How many RBs normally make a 53 man roster these days?

Most teams keep four RBs on their 53 man roster, with one of those four (usually #4) mainly expected to be a special teams contributor and chosen based on that skill set.

3 or 4 dependign on specials

 

[David321]

I think he’s going to make the week 1 roster. We shall see.

Agreed.

Rachaad White is the clear starter.

Chase Edmonds (27) is only signed to a vet minimum deal and Ke’Shawn Vaughn (26) is on the final year of his rookie deal.

Even if other backs brings more special teams versatility than Tucker, I can’t see the rebuilding Bucs keeping Edmonds and Vaughn over Tucker (21).

I definitely see a path to Tucker getting consistent touches by mid-season.

Rachaad White is also a return man. His career rushing stats (1 season) are 481 yards, for a 3.7 YPC. Also had 50 receptions for 290 yards.

Chase Edmonds is entering his 7th season. He does not have big numbers. 4.5 career average, with a high of 592 yards over 12 games in 2021. He used to put up some decent numbers receiving as well, but not in the past 2 seasons.

Ke'Shawn Vaugn is entering his 4th season, all 3 with TB. He has never put up big numbers.

Tucker should be able to climb this list...
