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.

Will Shipley News

Will Shipley Falls to RB3 on Depth Chart

Friday, November 21, 11:34 PM

Philadelphia Eagles Will Shipley has been relegated mostly to special teams touches and the occasional carry behind Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby as the team's RB3. The Eagles acquired Bigsby ahead of Week 7, and he's mostly served as the primary backup to Barkley. Since then, Bigsby and Shipley have each played 14.5% of the offensive snaps, but Bigsby has 17 carries to Shipley's seven during that span. The 2024 fourth-round pick entered the season as the No. 2 back for the Eagles, then missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to a rib injury, and has now fallen out of favor with the team, going out and trading for another back to have another capable option behind Barkley. Shipley still has some appeal as a handcuff if Barkley were to go down, but it would likely be a timeshare with Bigsby.
