Sean Tucker to be Short Yardage Back in 2026?

Friday, July 31, 7:21 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker is likely to be a factor on the goal line again. While Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell take over as the RB by committee, Tucker remains a factor in short-yardage and goal-line situations because of his size advantage over Irving and Gainwell. Tucker scored eight touchdowns last season, including six in his final eight games, while Irving had zero attempts inside the five-yard line. With the Buccaneers' offense hoping to bounce back after a tough finish to their season, Tucker could see more work on the goal line. Along with his value as a handcuff to Irving, Tucker is worth monitoring in most fantasy formats this season.

Kimani Vidal Still a Factor in Chargers Crowded Running Back Room

Friday, August 7, 7:49 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal is competing for touches in a crowded backfield. Vidal had a career year in 2025, posting 779 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 171 total attempts, doing most of his work while both Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Najee Harris (Achilles) were out. Now that former first-round pick Hampton is back and Keaton Mitchell has been added, Vidal is still fighting for his role in Los Angeles. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel said the group of Hampton, Mitchell, and Vidal is "as deep and complementary a group that [he's] been around." Ranked RB73 by RotoBaller, Vidal is an option if Hampton or Mitchell were to struggle or miss time during the 2026 season.
