TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Bucky Irving had his breakout game last week against the Panthers. The rookie rushed 25 times for 152 yards and a touchdown, his third straight game with a score. Irving is averaging 6.26 yards per carry in his last three games and that's with 50 total rushing attempts. Keep an eye on the injury report, though. Irving is dealing with a hip injury that kept him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday but he is practicing Friday. If he plays, he's worth an RB2 spot this week against the Raiders, who are in the middle of the pack against the run.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Carolina Panthers

Bucky Irving and Rachaad White were just about even in snaps and carries last week against the Giants. The difference is that Irving was much more effective on the ground -- Irving out-rushed White 88-37 -- and caught six passes to White's one. While this remains a pretty even split, Irving is taking on more of a receiving role of late with at least 40 yards in three of his last five games. Even better for Irving's fantasy owners is the Panthers are allowing the most fantasy points to running backs. Irving is a solid RB2 this week.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at New York Giants

In Week 10, Bucky Irving played 28 snaps, nine less than the 37 Rachaad White played. Irving did out-touch White 14-10 and out-gained him 87-70. Irving looks to have the slight edge now in the backfield heading into a Week 12 meeting with the Giants, a team that ranks 19th in fantasy points per game allowed to running backs. The timeshare limits Irving and White but Irving's volume is enough to make him worth an RB2 spot.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Bucky Irving is still dealing with a toe injury but the good news is he doesn't have a game designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers. He remains in a timeshare with Rachaad White with Irving getting more of the work on the ground. In fact, we have Irving and White right next to each other in this week's rankings. Both are flex options in a tougher matchup against the 49ers but it's understandably frustrating with both.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Kansas City Chiefs

Bucky Irving continues to run as the de facto RB1 in Tampa. He saw 16 touches to Rachaad White's 11 last week and totaled 84 yards. Up next, however, is a meeting with one of the top rushing defenses in Kansas City. Irving is also dealing with a toe injury and is in a committee with White and Sean Tucker. Irving is an RB3/Flex play this week.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Bucky Irving saw nine carries in Week 8, one fewer than the returning Rachaad White. He had just 23 yards on the ground but did score a touchdown and added 54 yards on three catches. The Bucs also mix Sean Tucker as well, so this is a true committee, but Irving has enough juice to be a deep flex option against the Falcons, whom he totaled 56 yards against on 11 touches in Week 5.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New Orleans Saints

Bucky Irving had already carved out a nice role for himself with Rachaad White on the field. Now, it looks like White will be out due to injury, meaning Irving will be the guy against the Saints. Irving has shown to be a strong runner and has a chance to do very well with more work. He does have a tough matchup. The Saints are allowing the 7th-fewest rushing yards per game. But the talent and volume Irving is expected to get make him a strong RB2 option this week.
