Sean Tucker injury update: questionable, not expected to play Week 6 vs. Steelers (quad)

Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker is questionable with a quad injury and is not expected to play Sunday against Pittsburgh, per Ian Rapoport.

By Cole Hartwell

Sean Tucker is not expected to play in Sunday’s Week 6 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Ian Rapoport. Tucker is officially listed as questionable with a quad injury.

What happened

Rapoport reported that Tucker (quad) is questionable and not expected to go. The Buccaneers host the Steelers on Sunday, October 18.

Tucker returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, according to a prior Fantasy Football Desk report.

Context

Tucker has 8.8 PPR points across four games this season, with eight carries for 28 yards and one rushing touchdown. In Week 5, he had five carries for 18 yards.

Sleeper currently tags Tucker as questionable with a quad injury. Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell sit ahead of him on the Buccaneers’ running back depth chart.

Depth chart

Bucky Irving, the RB1, has 406 rushing yards and two touchdowns in five games. Kenny Gainwell, RB2, has 44 rushing yards and 54 receiving yards this season.

Josh Williams is listed as the RB4.

What’s next

The Buccaneers face the Steelers at home on Sunday, October 18.

#Bucs RB Sean Tucker (quad) is listed as questionable and is not expected to go today, sources say.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Tucker unlikely to play, any change in his 4% snap share won’t move the needle much for fantasy. Irving remains the clear lead back and should handle the majority of carries and targets. Gainwell’s role as the passing-down back is secure, but his Week 6 projection is just 8.3 PPR points. There’s no fantasy-relevant bump for Josh Williams. Tucker is not a start in any format and can be dropped in shallow leagues.
