Who Should I Start? Sean Tucker or Keaton Mitchell

Friday, December 5, 7:00 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker completely disappeared during last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals. Before that game, Tucker had seen double-digit rushing attempts in three of his last four contests. During last week's game, Tucker rushed the ball twice for zero yards. The return of Bucky Irving appears to have ended Tucker's run as a fantasy-relevant back. There are too many mouths to feed with Irving and Rachaad White both involved now. The 24-year-old is worth holding in dynasty leagues with White being a pending free agent at the end of the season. Outside of that, Tucker can be sent back to the waiver wire in most 12-team redraft leagues.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell briefly popped up on the injury report after registering a limited practice on Wednesday due to knee issues. Since then, he's been a full participant and was cleared from the injury report. Despite seeing 15% or less of the snap share in the last two weeks, Mitchell has finished as a high-end RB3 in half-PPR leagues. The last time against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13, Mitchell found the end zone with two carries for 19 yards and two receptions for 12 yards. While he could have a similar game against the 32nd ranked defense against opposing backfields, he's a very risky flex play. He's currently projected as the RB55 in RotoBaller's rankings.
