Sean Tucker News
Tuesday, June 23, 8:19 AM
When given an opportunity to see the field, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has flashed upside. The 24-year-old recorded 354 scrimmage yards on 94 touches and led Tampa Bay running backs with eight touchdowns in 2025. However, Tucker enters 2026 as the Buccaneers RB3 behind Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell. As long as at least one of Irving and/or Gainwell is healthy, Tucker is likely blocked off from consistently fantasy-relevant production in Tampa Bay. Still, he will be an unrestricted free agent following the 2026 season, so the Bucs may be incentivized to move him to a team in need of backfield help at some point this year. Between that possibility and Tucker's existing handcuff appeal, he could be worth stashing for deeper-league dynasty managers who are building for the future.

Ollie Gordon II News
Friday, July 10, 4:58 PM
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane will be the team's clear lead back again in 2026, but Mike Masala of Dolphins Wire writes that the battle between Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright for the RB2 role will be "one of the more underrated competitions happening" at training camp this summer. Gordon is extremely physical at 6-foot-2 and 230-plus pounds. The 22-year-old former sixth-rounder last year out of Oklahoma State had 70 carries as a rookie for 199 yards (2.8 yards per attempt) and three touchdowns in 17 games (one start), adding just seven receptions for 32 yards and another score. Wright also had exactly 70 rushing attempts, but he was more efficient with 4.1 yards per carry in fewer games played (10). If Achane were to miss any time due to injury in 2026, Gordon would most likely operate as the between-the-tackles runner because of his size, with Wright taking on more of a pass-catching role out of the backfield. Both Gordon and Wright are attractive deeper-league handcuffs with different strengths. RotoBaller has Gordon ranked as the No. 80 fantasy RB entering his second year in the NFL.
