After the win, Bucs head coach Bruce Arians was asked if he thinks Ke'Shawn Vaughn has a future as the team’s third-down back.
“No, I think he’s a lead back,” Arians said, via Zach Goodall of SI.com. “He has great running skills, excellent jump-cut ability and he’s worked on his hands. His hands are better. He dropped [a pass on Sunday] — it pissed him off — but he has worked on his hands hard. I think he’s a lead dog.”

A lead role may not be in the cards for Vaughn in the near future, but Fournette and Jones aren’t under contract in 2022 and there’s a window for Vaughn to make his case for a bigger piece of the offensive pie down the road, the story said. As for the rest of this season, Vaughn may have earned a few more touches at the expense of Jones. It's something to think about as we head into the what is likely your fantasy finals in Week 17.
