Look likes blight to me. Water them less often and do it in the morning so the leaves can dry out in the day. Once blight gets started its hard to stop.
Give all the yellow leaves a good pruning and cut all the suckers so there is more air circulation in the plant. Copper based spray is a good preventative for blight.

I watched my neighbor murder all his tomato plants one year, he overdid it with the Miracle Grow. They could be getting too much water too, assuming there are no holes in the bottom of the buckets to drain excess water.

It is quite normal to transplant tomato plants and have them "burn" for awhile, especially if it is hot and sunny immediately after transplanting from a greenhouse.

Move away from the wall and turn buckets every couple days. Never seen tomatoes thrive in buckets unless sunk into ground a bit.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

I have bad luck with container gardening. My root systems get too hot and burn up in the buckets.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Just came from my neighbors. He grows his in pots and has tremendous success. Used compost from the horse pasture and waters them in the morning. Plant them deep and remove the bottom two or three limbs, this promotes good growth towards the fruit. Good drainage is as important as water. If you water in the AM and soil is wet in the PM then you have a drainage issue. Drill some holes in your containers and pay attention to the soil, it'll tell you when it need water and how much. Maybe hold off on watering it for a day or so.

I think putting em in the sun will greatly increase your yield.
Do the buckets have drainage holes?
