Buccaneers Re-Sign Running Back Sean Tucker

Monday, April 20, 7:38 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially re-signed restricted free-agent running back Sean Tucker to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Sports. Tucker will once again carry minimal fantasy football value into the 2026 season as the team's RB3 behind Bucky Irving and new RB Kenneth Gainwell. The 24-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Syracuse saw career-highs in carries (86), rushing yards (320), and touchdowns (seven) with the Bucs in 17 games played in his third year in the league as the RB3 behind Irving and Rachaad White. It helped that Irving missed considerable time in the middle of the season due to injuries, giving Tucker a bigger workload for a nice stretch alongside White. Tucker probably only deserves to be rostered in dynasty/keeper leagues heading into the start of the 2026 campaign later this year. He's averaged 4.3 yards per carry with 651 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in 45 games (zero starts) in his three NFL seasons, adding just 19 catches for 152 yards and two receiving scores on 25 targets.

Khalil Herbert News

Khalil Herbert Signing With Jets

Thursday, October 2, 12:22 PM

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the New York Jets have signed running back Khalil Herbert to an undisclosed contract. Per Rapoport, the team placed running back Braelon Allen (knee) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The Virginia Tech product was recently signed to Seattle's practice squad, but he'll now add depth in New York's backfield. With Allen out, and backfield mate Kene Nwangwu's (hamstring) status up in the air, it's possible that Herbert will see work right away behind starter Breece Hall and backup Isaiah Davis. The 27-year-old doesn't figure to be slated for a fantasy-relevant role, but he's at least on the deep handcuff radar in case the assets in front of him were to miss any time. The Jets will take on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.
