Who Should I Start? Trayveon Williams or Sean Tucker

Thursday, August 22, 11:34 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams led the way in the preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He didn't do much in Cincinnati's first two exhibitions. However, the 26-year-old finished Thursday's contest by totaling a game-high 66 rushing yards off 11 carries, adding five catches for 11 yards. Williams, the No. 182 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, has spent his entire career with the Bengals. Yet, he's been limited to only 62 touches in 40 career games. With Williams behind Zack Moss and Chase Brown on the depth chart, his workload isn't expected to increase this season. As a result, managers won't look in his direction in most fantasy drafts, although there is streaming potential if Moss or Brown get hurt. The Bengals will begin the 2024-25 campaign with a Week 1 visit from the New England Patriots.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker surprisingly saw his usage increase during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Tucker hasn't seen much of the field lately, but he was able to make an impact in Week 17. He rushed the ball eight times for 39 yards and hauled in his lone target for five yards in the win. The eight carries from Tucker are the most from him since his 136-yard outing in Week 6. It looks like Tucker and Rachaad White are going to be fighting for scraps with Bucky Irving running away with the lead back job. Tucker is worth holding in some dynasty formats, but he's unlikely going to have weekly success as the third option in the backfield.
