Who Should I Start? Sincere McCormick or Sean Tucker

The San Francisco 49ers have signed running back Sincere McCormick to their practice squad on Thursday. McCormick quickly finds a new team after being cut by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in the week. The 24-year-old figures to serve as depth behind Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson Jr., and Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) in the backfield. Last season, McCormick rushed 39 times for 183 yards in five games (two starts) with the Raiders. There isn't going to be fantasy value here unless the 49ers suffer a few injuries in the backfield.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker hasn't been able to bring much to the table over the last few weeks. Tucker has moved up the depth chart to the No. 2 option behind Rachaad White in recent weeks. That should remain the same in Week 8 with Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) still sidelined. Despite that, Tucker hasn't been able to find much success on the field. Last week, Tucker rushed one time for four yards and hauled in one reception for two yards in the loss to the Detroit Lions. The hope is that Tucker will be more involved against the New Orleans Saints in Week 8. However, fantasy managers shouldn't count on him considering he has 10 total carries over the last three games. It's obvious that the Bucs trust White with a majority of the carries in the backfield, so Tucker isn't going to offer much value.
