Sean Tucker, Curtis Samuel, Chris Rodriguez Jr., Jordan Whittington, Luke Musgrave, Keaton Mitchell and Bucky Irving headline the Week 2 dynasty drop list, a reminder that timing and roster depth drive dynasty value. Tucker and Irving sit behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay, making Tucker a clear cut in many leagues. Samuel’s target share has cratered in Buffalo amid a receiver parade, while Washington’s backfield is crowded and Rodriguez isn’t trusted for goal-line work. Whittington’s Rams role is minimal, Musgrave shares a tight end field in Green Bay with Kraft, and Mitchell is displaced by Henry and Hill in Baltimore. The piece flags sunk-costs and focuses on players whose dynasty value no longer warrants a spot, even in deep leagues.

Endgame upside is the theme: $1 auction steals across QB, RB, WR, and TE anchored to upside over safe floor. Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart headline QBs, with Monangai and Giddens as backfield darts, while Dyami Brown and Elic Ayomanor headline lottery-ticket WRs. Chig Okonkwo offers tight end upside, and several honorees—Bryce Young, Kendre Miller, Sean Tucker, Troy Franklin, Isaac TeSlaa, Theo Johnson—provide late-round paths to value. The piece stresses chasing upside in the late rounds, not boring bees.

Put simply: after rosters solidify, you win by seizing big swings. If one $1 pick hits, you climb; if a few miss, you still have a shot at the trophy. The guide pairs concrete sleeper targets with rationale, plus a reminder to consult 2025 rankings for context and to embrace risk as a path to prize-money value.

Overall, it frames the endgame as the place to innovate: use the $1 tier to craft a roster with ceiling, leverage rookie and system-fit advantages, and let upside carry you through the unpredictable weeks of fantasy football.

Five late-round Zero-RB targets headline this sleeper list: Keaton Mitchell, Blake Corum, Kendre Miller, Sean Tucker, and Trevor Etienne. Mitchell looks like the safest floor option behind Derrick Henry in Baltimore, with role in both rushing and passing downs. Corum could push into a true RB2 role with Kyren Williams in Los Angeles, offering standalone value if used more than expected. Miller could lead New Orleans if Kamara is dealt, Tucker adds high-upside depth for Tampa Bay, and Etienne has legitimate handcuff upside in Carolina. Build the RB room around a steady RB1 and sprinkle in upside darts for the late rounds.

Tampa Bay’s depth strategy gets an exclamation point in 2025 as three undrafted rookies—John Bullock, Benjamin Chukwuma, and Josh Williams—make the 53-man roster after standout camp showings. Licht has long mined UDFA gems like Christian Izien and Sean Tucker, and this year reinforces the Buccaneers’ blueprint: players earn genuine opportunities regardless of draft status, building a flexible, competitive roster as the season opens.

Bullock’s Nebraska speed, Chukwuma’s raw strength and versatility, and Williams’s physical running and receiving package underscore Licht’s eye for high upside. The veteran approach isn’t just about stockpiling bodies; it’s about sustainable competition that bolsters special teams and provides depth in key spots, setting up Tampa Bay for meaningful contributions from players other teams overlooked in April.

Magnetizing UDFA success translates to fantasy and betting relevance too. As these rookies develop, they could creep into rotation snaps, with Williams perhaps handling early-down duties and return roles, while Bullock and Chukwuma add interior versatility. The Buccaneers’ 2025 roster, shaped by Licht’s zeal for under-the-radar talent, promises a deeper, more unpredictable unit that could tilt weekly matchups in late-season fantasy lineups and divisional showdowns.
