One of the best ways to win fantasy football championships is by rostering the RB that breaks out out of nowhere

This is a hard feat to pull off as there are approximately 3700 options

I would like to introduce you to one of the bets that you simply have to make

Sean Tucker.

From a size and athleticism perspective Sean Tucker looks the part. Per @rotounderworld in the screen shot above Tucker measured in at a fairly robust 5-9 and 207 pounds while running a 90th-percentile 4.44 40.

We like that very much.

@rotounderworld Was Sean Tucker a one-dimensional runningback in college or was he trusted in all aspects of the game?

As evidenced by his 75th-percentile college dominator and his 95th-percentile target share, it is pretty clear that the offence in Syracuse ran through Sean Tucker.

@rotounderworld One of the most telling aspects of projecting fantasy runningbacks to me is the passing game because so few are actually featured in the passing game.

Sean Tucker was dominant all three years he played in college in the passing game.

@rotounderworld By age, he posted the following market share of receiving yards:

Age 18 - 5.9%
Age 19 - 13.9%
Age 20 - 8.4%

Each year cleared the benchmark I am looking for.

@rotounderworld Unlike most career paths, being a college dropout is a bonus when you are in the profession of carrying footballs.

Sean Tucker in fact did dropout early in order to join the ranks of the NFL and even better, he did it as a 21 year old.

@rotounderworld From here we want to know how he looked on the projector and it was… *cue the gif.

@rotounderworld Lance Zierlein of NFL,com gave him a grade of 5.94 which is really quite bad.

@rotounderworld Despite the poor showing in Lance’s grading system, had Tucker gotten drafted on day 2 or earlier he still would have qualified for bulletproof

Alas, he fell not just out of day 2, but all the way out of the draft…. thus, we have had to strip him of his badge.

@rotounderworld But, as a result of that draft day slide, so too slid his adp and he is currently a round 18 startup pick.

Here are the two most recent notes about him in my rankings:

@rotounderworld You will notice that we've been buying for months at this point in part because he is pretty good comparatively at his ADP, but also because Rachaad White is decidedly not a strong bet.

And now it has been reported that Tucker is already RB2 on the squad.

@rotounderworld and from here, we simply must double down.
