Scouting report

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.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Atlanta Falcons

Bucky Irving has played his way into almost an even-split workload with Rachaad White. Irving and White each had 10 carries against the Eagles. Irving also had four rushes inside the ten and scored a touchdown. Irving has almost the same fantasy value now as Rachaad White and both can be considered flex options against the Falcons Thursday.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Bucky Irving had more rushing yards in Week 3 (70) than Rachaad White had in the first three weeks combined (66). Irving is quickly closing the gap between he and White and if White doesn't find his groove soon, Irving may very well be the lead back in Tampa sooner rather than later. He's still a deep flex play, but perhaps not for much longer.

TB RB Bucky Irving - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Detroit Lions

The rookie Bucky Irving saw nine carries and actually had double the number of rushing yards as Rachaad White in Week 1 (62-31). That said, some of that work, including half of his rushing yards, came while the Buccaneers held a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter. But it could be a sign that Irving will see some spell action behind White this season. Keep an
