Sean Tucker fantasy outlook: Is Bucs RB a good waiver wire pickup in Week 7?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints put on a show and then some in Week 6 in an eventual 51-27 win for Tampa Bay. The game was arguably the most entertaining one of the week, and we'd go as far as to say this was the Sean Tucker game.

This was where the Bucs running back announced himself to the world of fantasy football, outscoring his teammate Bucky Irving on the way to 192 yards and two scores. Here's why Tucker needs to be a priority add on the waiver wire in Week 7.

Sean Tucker waiver wire fantasy outlook for Week 7

While Bucky Irving showed out by racking up 105 scrimmage yards and a touchdown, Tucker just blazed through and made a name for himself on Sunday.

Tucker had 17 touches against the Saints (one more than Irving) and racked up 192 yards and two touchdowns. Those are impressive numbers and unlikely to be one-offs.

After the game, head coach Todd Bowles referred to the Bucs' running back group as a three-headed monster, which may be the most apt way of describing the Bucs' offense this year.

"He took advantage of his opportunities… He made some great plays, he caught the ball well out of the backfield. So, that gives us a three-headed monster,” Bowles said.

We know Bowles is more than happy to reward big performances. For starters, Bowles integrated Irving a lot more on offense after some reliable hard shifts in the backfield.

Sportskeeda's resident draft expert Brian Drake was among those urging fantasy football owners to bring Tucker into the fold.

There was a lot of buzz for Tucker when he was a rookie out of Syracuse and rightly so. Many just assumed he would push Rachaad White out of the backfield.

We're unlikely to see that happen, but Tucker still offers more than enough value on the waiver wire, especially if you're in a deep league. At present, Tucker is owned in just 1% of ESPN leagues and 1% of Yahoo! leagues.
