BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: No matter how many times a player has a huge performance out of nowhere and then follows it up with a dud, it's difficult to bench him. But that's what you should do with Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker. The New Orleans Saints defense he dominated looks like it's given up.

The defense is supposed to be there so the offensive players don't run through open grass untouched to the end zone. New Orleans' players are just refusing to tackle opposing offensive players, and it's showing. In fact the Saints defense has been absolutely horrible. A strange development after their dominance over the first two games.

They built off this performance by giving up 389 yards to the Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos. It wouldn't be surprising if head coach Dennis Allen gets canned soon. The team looks like it has no interest in trying to win. Being blown out by the Broncos is pretty bad, considering they've been one of the worst offenses in the league.
#Bucs HC Todd Bowles on the RB rotation:
“We’re gonna need all three of them. All three are good football players, and all three will play when they’re all healthy. As the game goes, we’ll go with the hot hand and see who’s running what style and how it fits the game, and go… pic.twitter.com/0micVNNR67

Oh, and Bucs head coach Todd Bowles, who's known for his candidness in discussing player usage, wants to make it a three-way committee. Tucker is a fine stash, but an ugly three-headed monster isn't the best way to get fantasy production. Leave him on the bench for now.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has carved out a nice, yet inconsistent, role in his offense. The presence of both WRs Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf creates a lot of competition for […]
