Sean Tucker

Um, and those are going to be players, you know, that a lot of them are, you know, again, we can go back to the contract and salary cap situation.

You guys have, you have guys like tank Bigsby, the Vidal, um, Sean Tucker, Kendra Miller, all in free agent years, right? So they're all potentially ending up somewhere different next year with a different opportunity.

Will it amount to anything? No, who knows? But there's an option there.

And these are parts of the dynasty where you can still gain little bits of edges if people aren't looking at it.

Like, unless you have a Mario on Hampton, maybe you don't give a crap at all about Vidal.

You just picked him two years ago and he was he helped you a little bit.

But I Sean Tucker, Kendra Miller, people hate him.

Like, I think if he gets an opportunity, he's always been OK with it.

He can wear you down.

That is something we've talked about on this show numerous times, the ability of Bucky and Gainwell and even Sean Tucker in some moments, and especially this offensive line, to wear down the opposing defense.

That is what's going to make the Chicago rushing offense a little bit more formidable and allow them to stay two-dimensional, which is exactly what you don't want to see happen.

As for the rest of the Bears, Malik Muhammad II is questionable with a toe injury, and Tyreek Stevenson is questionable with the thumb injury.

Why not? Everybody's been getting it done on the ground for Tampa Bay.

That's Sean Tucker.

He is plus 800 to find the end zone on the anytime touchdown.

I'm going to go back to the well, same vulture man I had for Chicago on Monday Night Football.

If you're desperate at running back, I really don't hate Kenny Gainwell here.

He's seeing his role grow a little bit.

It sucks that it's probably Sean Tucker who will randomly steal a goal line carry or two.

You don't like it either way if you own Bucky Irving.

Will he be forced? Will Tampa Bay be forced? Like, that's the big question.

Is Tampa Bay going to be physically forced against the Chicago team to actually throw the ball? Can their defense hold it down, make this competitive enough in a low screen enough game to where they can still lean aggressively on the ground game? and keep it the Bucky Irving show plus Kenneth Gainwell, plus maybe a little Rashad or Sean Tucker.

So yeah, this is going to be fun.

This is, this is one where I feel like we're going to learn a lot about what this Tampa Bay defense really is.

So this is a, and last week they had both running backs in their backfield, handled 25 carries each, Bucky and Kenny Gainwell.

Also with Sean Tucker behind them.

So this is a very productive backfield as of late.

Their offensive line's moving late up front as well.

And it is nuts what Tampa Bay is doing because they kind of did the same thing against Carolina, just not as extreme of a scale.

So they might just become a pound the rock and run the ball team with three running backs in Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker, and Kenny Gainwell.

Yeah, Irving and Gainwell in this last game combined for 347 rushing yards after contact.

That was over 100 more than any other running back room in the next-gen stats era in a game.

It wasn't even just Bucky Irving.

It was also Sean Tucker and Kenny Gainwell destroyed that Panthers defense.

Bucky Irving had 106 yards, two touchdowns on the ground.

but 23 fantasy points got to leave that game early because they were winning so much.

Sean Tucker then scores 11.2 fantasy points against them.

And Kenny game also had nine.

So that means bucks running backs had 42 combined fantasy points.

I think they are top five in special teams DVOA.

They are running the ball very effectively, as we've seen with Bucky Irving, and then they can bring in off the bench Kenny Gainwell, Sean Tucker, and it's a terrific offensive line.

Really, the only question mark is this passing game.

Baker Mayfield, and then he's not going to have Emeka Ibuka this week, but...
