Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving ran nine times for 44 yards in a Week 5 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He added two receptions for 12 yards. The rookie also lost a fumble late in the fourth quarter with the Bucs trying to ice the game.
Huddle Up: With less than three minutes and Tampa Bay nursing a three-point lead, Irving fumbled the ball, and Atlanta recovered. While the Bucs defense would force a turnover of their own, they ultimately let the Falcons tie the game at the end of regulation and then win it in overtime. We'll see if there's any lasting damage to Irving's usage going forward. To that point, however, he'd been the more consistent option with most of Rachaad White's production coming on one play. He remains a flex option for the time being, and the possibility of him usurping White very much continues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed for 49 yards and one touchdown 10 carries against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4. He also caught one pass for six yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Irving has earned a bigger role over the last few weeks and appears to be part of a committee at running back. He should see a decent amount of touches next week and can be a flex option in deeper leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving is expected to see more work, head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Monday, Sept. 23.
Huddle Up: Irving is still likely to split backfield snaps with Rachaad White, but the former has been far more explosive and efficient through three games. Upgrade Irving to RB3 status while White gets downgraded to fringe RB2 status until the split is clearer.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed nine times for 70 yards in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos, while adding three receptions for 14 yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: The Bucs have given Rachaad White three games to get on track, and he just isn't cutting the mustard. Irving outproduced White again, and it appears that the depth chart could have officially changed heading into Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Treat Irving as a RB3 or flex fantasy option heading into the new week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed seven times for 22 yards in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: Irving continues to carve into the role of Rachaad White, although neither really did much. White had 10 runs for 18 yards, and 5-yard reception, while Irving averaged 3.1 yards per rushing attempt. The Buccaneers host the Denver Broncos in Week 3, and it is starting to look like a hot-hand situation in Tampa, which fantasy owners are never a fan. Whomever gets hot will get more carries as the game goes on, and the other will see less activity. Right now, it might be good to stay away from both.
