Sean Tucker (RB-TB) - Ooops, Tucker did it again. He posted a massive game when he was given a big opportunity. The coaches have said his role will grow, which opens the door to the kind of backfield split we saw when Bucky Irving broke out in Weeks 12-17 last season. Irving was RB7 over that stretch in PPR leagues, but Rachaad White was RB20. Tucker can probably do more with those touches than White did. The Bucs offense is getting healthy, and they have an easy schedule down the stretch. Tucker can easily be an every-week RB2 with upside, and a low-end RB1 is in the range of outcomes. White is going to free agency next year. The Irving/Tucker backfield could be a long-term plan for one of the NFL's best offenses.
Bhayshul Tuten (RB-JAX) - We were worried about Tuten leaving last week's game with an ankle injury, but he's actually healthier than Travis Etienne Jr., who was wearing a non-contact jersey in practice because of a shoulder injury. Everyone can see that what Tuten has to offer is more than Etienne, and he had more carries and production than Etienne when he left the game last week. The changing of the guard is at hand. Be willing to overpay in dynasty leagues. He'll be cheaper than you think in redraft.
Derrick Henry (RB-BAL) - Henry busted off a 59-yard run last week in the fourth quarter, his longest of the season, which is a great sign of where his stamina is at this point in the season. He also ran for 103 yards against a defense that held him to 23 in the first meeting. The Ravens are getting to the easy part of their schedule. If you have to pay up for a running back to be the missing piece in your dynasty title push, Henry is the best target.
Brock Purdy (QB-SF), George Kittle (TE-SF) - The 49ers offense was upgraded significantly with the return of Purdy, and it was already good with Mac Jones. Other than a Week 13 game at Cleveland, the 49ers' schedule is primed for top-end offensive production, in part because their defense is definitely in the bottom half of the league. Purdy is the cheapest potential solid QB1 you can get in a trade in dynasty or redraft right now. His connection with Kittle picked up right where it left off, with two easy touchdowns. It could resemble the Jordan Love-Tucker Kraft connection, which was responsible for the highest passer rating of any combination before Kraft went down.
Ken Walker III (RB-SEA) - Walker should be untouchable right now with the Seahawks saying they will increase his touches. He can be a league-winner with the Seahawks, probably drawing more light boxes after that approach flummoxed Sam Darnold against the Rams. He looks powerful and spry as ever and could be primed to soar in Klint Kubiak's running game.
