Who Should I Start? Myles Gaskin or Sean Tucker

Monday, November 13, 12:48 PM

The Minnesota Vikings signed running back Myles Gaskin back to their practice squad on Monday after the Los Angeles Rams had signed him away, according to a source. Gaskin has been on an active NFL 53-man roster twice this year -- once with Minnesota and once with the Rams -- but he hasn't gotten on the field at all in 2023. His return to Minnesota coincides with Alexander Mattison suffering a concussion in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints. The Vikings could use the extra RB depth with Mattison's availability now in question for the Week 11 game on Sunday night against the Denver Broncos firmly in question. Ty Chandler could serve as the lead back in Week 11 if Mattison isn't cleared, and the Vikes also have Kene Nwangwu available to take on a bigger role if needed.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker received his first taste of NFL action during the Week 1 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The rookie back rushed five times for 15 yards, while hauling in two receptions for an additional nine yards. It seems that Tucker has worked his way into the No. 2 role behind Rachaad White. The undrafted rookie has been impressive early on. However, it appears the Bucs plan to pound the ball with White after 17 rushing attempts in Week 1. If that remains the case, Tucker isn't going to offer much fantasy value whatsoever. He'll be worth rostering in dynasty formats, but fantasy managers in redraft formats can wait until Tucker gets a bigger role on this offense. Tucker won't be a recommended streaming option for the Week 2 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
