Sean Tucker looks to continue to be an important part of the Buccaneers’ backfield after signing a one-year extension. $2.5M is a significant amount to invest in an RB3, especially with Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell on the roster.
Tampa was tempted to save money by cutting Tucker and retaining Josh Williams, but Tucker’s talent profile was too good to let go. Tucker took advantage of every opportunity given to him last year, ranking 13th in fantasy points per opportunity.
This speaks loudly that the Buccaneers either want to keep Tucker involved or they don’t fully trust that Irving can hold up for 17 games. Tucker is a strong hold in dynasty and currently sits at RB71 on the PlayerProfiler dynasty rankings.

Sean Tucker faces the 53-man roster bubble in Tampa Bay after Josh Williams out-snapped him in Preseason Week 2. Despite Tucker’s 106.5 (85th-percentile) Speed Score and 14.6-percent (95th-percentile) College Target Share, the Buccaneers seem to prefer the cheaper contract control that Williams offers.
Williams is now on dynasty radars, and a trade or release turns Tucker and his 4.44 (90th-percentile) 40-yard dash into an immediate high-leverage stash on dynasty rosters.
