Who Should I Start? Sean Tucker or Eric Gray

Friday, December 13, 5:08 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker moved into the No. 2 role in the backfield after Bucky Irving (hip, back) went down early during last week's game. Rachaad White took over as the lead back and looked great with a two-score performance. However, Tucker didn't do much as he rushed three times for 47 yards and finished with zero receptions on two targets. There is a chance that Irving does sit in Week 15, which would mean Tucker moves into the No. 2 role once again. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited about that considering Tucker only saw three rushing attempts last week. Tucker is too risky of a streaming choice to start in important fantasy games this weekend.

Eric Gray showed the New York Giants that their investment in him is starting to pay dividends in Thursday's 14-3 win over the Detroit Lions. The second-year back had a breakout performance, totaling 98 yards from scrimmage and scoring twice. Gray's night was highlighted by a stunning 48-yard touchdown run that had echoes of his college days and reminded fantasy managers why the Giants took a flier on him in the fifth round last year. But it wasn't just the flashy run; Gray also showed versatility by adding 46 receiving yards on top of his 52 rushing yards, making him a dual-threat weapon. His second score, a gritty 1-yard plunge, sealed the victory and might have sealed his spot as a serious fantasy option moving forward. With Devin Singletary as the starter for now, Gray's emerging role could make him a sneaky pickup in deeper leagues, especially if the Giants look to lighten Singletary's workload.
