2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Breaks out in No. 2 role
Tucker rushed 14 times for 136 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 56 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.
ANALYSIS
Tucker came into the afternoon with just three total touches on the season, but the second-year back exploded for a team-high rushing yardage total while technically serving as the No. 2 back behind Bucky Irving. A two-time 1,000-yard rusher in college, Tucker first found the end zone on an impressive 36-yard catch and run in the second quarter, and he added the first rushing score of his career via a five-yard run coming out of the two-minute warning. Tucker's explosive showing would theoretically earn him more playing time on many teams, but with Irving and Rachaad White (foot), whose absence Sunday opened the door for Tucker's expanded role, firmly entrenched atop the depth chart, that could prove difficult. However, were White to remain sidelined for a Week 7 home showdown against the Ravens on Monday night, Oct. 21, Tucker would be line for another robust role in that contest.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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
Could be thrust into larger role
Tucker may see a significant uptick in offensive snaps due to both Rachaad White and Bucky Irving being listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Irving was limited in two practices and a DNP in another this week due to a hamstring injury, while White was added to Saturday's injury report due to an illness, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Tucker has played just three offensive snaps this season and turned his lone carry into four yards, but the undrafted rookie could be in line for significant playing time if White and/or Irving were unable to play Sunday.
