What They're Saying
HC Todd Bowles on Sunday: "Sean brings us another explosive runner. He's a game breaker for us, really. He's got very good contact balance, he can break a lot of tackles, he can naturally find holes. He's very fast, but he looks so smooth doing it that you really can't tell until he gets into the open field. I keep telling the guys on offense we're got to get him the ball more."

Pretty strong words from the head coach. Gotta think brand-new OC Josh Grizzard -- in his first OC shot at any level -- will take heed (unless he strongly disagrees for some reason).
White remained an effective receiver despite losing work to Bucky Irving last season. He also maintained a decent rushing role, but there's room for Tucker to eat into that even when White's healthy.
Tucker, of course, announced himself to fantasy managers in Week 6 last season with the following stat line at New Orleans:
- 14-136-1 rushing
- 3-56-1 receiving
That came with White out. Any time that White misses can only help Tucker's potential exposure. And even Irving doesn't appear built to handle a true feature role over a full season (192 pounds at the 2024 Scouting Combine).
Tucker makes for a nice stash at the end of fantasy drafts across formats.
