Bucs Want To Give Sean Tucker Touches In Every Game

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.

Jake Funk Leads Backfield In Preseason Finale

Saturday, August 24, 11:15 PM

Detroit Lions running back Jake Funk led the backfield with 10 carries for 40 yards in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. The 26-year-old also caught one of his four targets for a two-yard touchdown. Considering Funk only has four carries in his professional career and had an underwhelming first two preseason games, this big showing could help determine his future on this Lions team. Funk is not currently listed on the Lions depth chart and may not make the 53-man roster, but it could be a wildcard and a player to keep on your watchlist.
