Who Should I Start? Sean Tucker or Emanuel Wilson

Tuesday, October 14, 11:38 AM

In his team's second full game without starting running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder), Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker saw his rushing workload increase. Tucker recorded six carries for 25 yards and a touchdown in Tampa Bay's 30-19 Week 6 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Tucker still appears to be firmly behind fellow Buccaneers back Rachaad White, who logged 20 total touches against San Francisco. Still, with Irving likely to remain sidelined through at least Week 7, Tampa Bay could be working Tucker into a larger role. At the very least, Tucker has value as a short-term handcuff option to White and should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson should be a bit involved in the Packers' offense as the backup running back when Green Bay faces off against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. In Week 4, before the team's bye last week, Wilson was more involved in the offense than usual, with eight carries for 44 yards. Wilson also factored in the passing game, catching 3-of-3 targets for 37 yards. Make no mistake, Wilson is firmly behind Jacobs in the pecking order of Packers' running backs, but Wilson continues to widen the gap between himself and Chris Brooks, who is barely involved in the Packers' normal offense. Wilson would get the first crack at meaningful touches in this strong Packers' offense if Jacobs were to go down, but you're not starting Wilson in fantasy football this week against the Bengals.
