Who Should I Start? Sean Tucker or DeWayne McBride

Thursday, November 21, 2:52 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen said the team needs to be more aware of getting running back Sean Tucker touches in every game. The team self-scouted during the Week 11 bye and is looking to Tucker more involved. The second-year back out of Syracuse flashed with 136 rushing yards, 56 receiving yards, and two total touchdowns in the Week 6 win over the New Orleans Saints but has not seen more than six touches in a game since. In Week 10, he did not handle a single touch. This is good news for Tucker fantasy managers in deep leagues, but Rachaad White and Bucky Irving could be even more uncertain fantasy outlooks down the stretch as a result. The usage of the Tampa Bay running backs should be heavily monitored in Week 12 against the New York Giants.

Minnesota Vikings running back DeWayne McBride (undisclosed) is being placed on the non-football injury list, the team announced on Monday. McBride joined the organization as a seventh-round pick last year, but he did not appear in a game after spending the season on the practice squad. McBride was once a deep sleeper in fantasy football following his prolific college career at UAB which saw him rush for over 3,000 yards and 32 touchdowns in his sophomore and junior seasons combined. Heading into his second year as a pro, he'll likely have a tough time earning a role behind Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler, and Kene Nwangwu, especially since he's beginning the offseason with an injury.
