Sean Tucker Not Projected to Make 53-Man Roster

Wednesday, August 26, 12:54 PM

Josh Queipo of Pewter Report does not project Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker to make the final 53-man roster out of training camp. The Bucs initially opted not to tender him as a restricted free agent in the offseason, but they eventually signed him to a $3.52 million deal for 2026. Even though none of the salary would be guaranteed, it's a high price tag for a player with 151 carries, 651 yards (4.3 yards per carry), and nine touchdowns in his three seasons in the league. Tampa could feel that they are covered between Josh Williams at RB and Kam Johnson as a kick returner behind Bucky Irving and newcomer Kenny Gainwell. Ultimately, the Buccaneers could opt to go cheaper to fill the RB3 role in order to save money for a roster spot elsewhere to begin the 2026 season. Tucker had a career-high 86 carries for 320 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 games last year, with Irving missing time due to multiple injuries. He has shown flashes of upside in Tampa, but he is firmly on the roster bubble. It is good news for Irving's overall fantasy upside this year.

Isaiah Davis Making Progress on Side Field

Tuesday, August 25, 5:46 PM

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis (knee) was seen working with a trainer on the sideline, according to Zack Rosenblatt. Rosenblatt noted that it's the first time he's seen Davis working on the grass and that "he's making progress." Davis suffered a "minor knee injury" early in training camp, which was expected to cost him "a couple of weeks." After the injury to running back Braelon Allen, Davis played a role in the rushing attack last season, totaling 422 scrimmage yards and one touchdown on 64 attempts. With both Allen and starter Breece Hall in the mix, Davis is likely to take a backseat to the two this season. With just 19 days until the Jets travel to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 1, Davis will need to ramp up quickly to be ready to go for the season.
