Sean Tucker Remains Avoidable For Week 15

Friday, December 13, 5:08 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker moved into the No. 2 role in the backfield after Bucky Irving (hip, back) went down early during last week's game. Rachaad White took over as the lead back and looked great with a two-score performance. However, Tucker didn't do much as he rushed three times for 47 yards and finished with zero receptions on two targets. There is a chance that Irving does sit in Week 15, which would mean Tucker moves into the No. 2 role once again. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited about that considering Tucker only saw three rushing attempts last week. Tucker is too risky of a streaming choice to start in important fantasy games this weekend.

Jets Extend Michael Carter II

Tuesday, September 3, 6:55 PM

The New York Jets agreed to terms on a three-year $30.75 million contract extension with defensive back Michael Carter II on Tuesday, making him the highest-paid slot corner in the NFL. The deal is worth up to $33 million with slightly more than $19 million in total guarantees. Carter is the Jets' nickelback and has been an important member of the defense over the last three seasons. Carter did not record an interception in 2023, but he did manage 50 total tackles and nine passes defensed. Carter's extension keeps an excellent Jets defensive core intact. The Jets' team defense should be a hot commodity in fantasy football in 2024.
