UPDATE: Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker unexpectedly becomes Fantasy Football League's "golden winner" – Explosive performance analysis leaves players stunned.
Despite a Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers noticed a pleasant spark from their backfield, amid the absence of star running back Bucky Irving. Third-year running back Sean Tucker saw the majority of the workload in a breakout performance last week, setting himself up for an expanded role as Irving is set to miss yet another game in Week 12.
Tampa Bay will gear up for a crucial matchup versus the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, with Tucker slated to see a notable workload once again. After entering the season as Tampa Bay’s RB3, the Syracuse product emerged as the offense’s premier weapon versus Buffalo, after splitting carries with veteran back Rachaad White for much of the season.
In 19 carries, Tucker racked up a career-high 106 yards with two touchdowns on the ground. He also showed receiving versatility in the passing game, hauling in both of his targets for 34 yards and a third touchdown. In fantasy football, his 34.0 points among PPR leagues marked an RB2 finish in Week 12.
With another week of sustained production, Tucker could emerge as one of the top sleepers in fantasy football after flying under the radar coming into the season. Here’s how the Buccaneers back could emerge as a fantasy football league winner down the stretch of the season.
Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker Is A Fantasy Football League Winner
Tucker came into the season with an Average Draft Position of just 305.0 among PPR leagues, with a positional ranking of RB85, according to FantasyPros’ ADP data. Despite inconsistent volume, he’s already vastly outperformed his ADP over recent weeks, finishing among the top-26 running backs in fantasy in three of his last five games.
Given White’s inefficient play in Irving’s absence, Tucker could see another bump in workload this week and take over as the team’s leading back as the second-year starter continues to work his way back. Monitoring his recent production, he may have cemented his role regardless of Irving’s status as the starter.
While his volume could waver upon Irving’s return, his strong efficiency presents a safe floor for production, even as RB2 in Tampa Bay’s offense. Down the stretch of the season, Tucker could be considered a solid option at FLEX, or RB2 depending on the depth of any given fantasy lineup.
It’s hard to predict his outlook over the next several games, but Sunday night’s clash versus Los Angeles presents a start opportunity for the third-year back in fantasy. Fantasy owners can remain bullish on Tucker’s fantasy output as he continues to prove his value as a league-winner.
10 minutes ago: Legendary NFL Tom Brady unexpectedly speaks up to defend Josh Allen after harsh criticism following the Texans loss. and Allen’s 7-word response leaves the entire NFL speechless
Just ten minutes ago, Bills Mafia erupted when legendary quarterback Tom Brady appeared in the media with a powerful message defending Josh Allen. It was an emotional statement aimed at a captain who has been carrying the weight of an entire city through one of the most turbulent stretches of the season.
Brady began with a seriousness rarely seen when discussing another AFC East franchise. He said that the criticism Allen endured throughout the past week was nothing short of unfair. a blow to the heart of anyone who truly loves the game of football.
Brady explained. “I have watched every throw. every run. every time he stood back up after getting hit hard. Nobody understands the weight of carrying a whole team on your shoulders until they have done it themselves. Josh Allen is fighting for an entire city. Nobody has the right to mock someone who continues to battle the way he does.”
The message spread instantly across the NFL. not only because of the praise for Allen but also because it came from Tom Brady himself. a man who spent more than twenty years at the top of the league and watched hundreds of quarterbacks get criticized, dissected and compared.
But what truly froze the entire football world was Josh Allen’s response. Only seven words. simple yet powerful. and straight from the heart.
Allen replied:
“Coming from you. that means everything.”
Social media exploded. Bills Mafia went silent with emotion. and many of the loudest critics from earlier in the week suddenly had nothing left to say. A short sentence. yet it carried all the gratitude and respect Allen holds for the man widely considered the greatest quarterback in NFL history.
In the end, this was not just a defense of a struggling player. It was recognition from a legend for a superstar who continues to write his own story in Buffalo. A story about loyalty. resilience. and the courage to stand up after being knocked down again and again.
The Bills may have lost to the Texans. but the moment between Brady and Allen reminded everyone why Buffalo still believes. One thing is clear. Josh Allen is not fighting this battle alone.
