Who Should I Start? Sean Tucker or Jordan James

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles wants to see running back Sean Tucker get the ball more in 2025, according to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Tucker is entering his third year with the team and has logged 65 career carries in 28 games played. Tampa Bay has a clear top two in their running back room with Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, but White (groin) left the team's preseason game on Saturday due to a groin injury. According to Smith, Bowles' comments about wanting Tucker more involved in the offense came even before White got hurt. Assuming White can return relatively quickly, it sounds like Tampa Bay may be planning to use all three backs. That could potentially impact the fantasy outlook for Irving, who currently profiles as a low-end RB1.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jordan Watkins (coach's decision) and running back Jordan James (coach's decision) are both healthy scratches for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Watkins and James both missed last week's season opener, and even though they're healthy for Week 2, the rookies will watch Sunday's game from the sideline. Kendrick Bourne, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Skyy Moore will round out the wide receiver room behind Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Meanwhile, Isaac Guerendo will handle RB3 duties behind Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr.
