Scouting report

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Carolina Panthers

Bucky Irving continues to shoulder more of the workload in the backfield in Tampa, seeing 19 touches last week compared to just 10 for Rachaad White. Irving also outgained White, 92-61, and scored a touchdown while White lost a fumble. Irving is on a good roll going into Week 17 and is the clear choice in the Tampa backfield the rest of the way in what pretty much amounts to a must-win for the Bucs.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Dallas Cowboys

Bucky Irving is gaining some steam. He has over 100 yards in two of his last three games. He left the Raiders game early due to a hip injury but doesn't have a game designation for Sunday night. Irving should be good to go. He'll continue to split work with Rachaad White (and, to an extent, Sean Tucker), but there's enough explosiveness on this Bucs offense that both Irving and White can be RB2's this week. No team has allowed more rushing touchdowns than Dallas (22).

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.
